The Stumper

A Riddle Game for Two Players

Two players, six rounds. You score for solving a riddle, and you score for picking one the other player cannot get. The answers are printed upside down at the bottom of each page, so nobody has to be the quizmaster.

  • 228 riddles in six rounds, from gentle warm ups to genuine stumpers
  • Every riddle written for this book, and every one has a single answer
  • Twelve scorecards at the back, so the book lasts twelve games
  • For kids ages 7 to 12 and a grown-up

Nothing is timed. Nobody is ever out.

For the whole family

The Family Christmas Cup

A Full-Color Picture Game Book for Ages 5 to 95

You play in teams, not as individuals, and about a third of the games reward a fast pair of eyes rather than a long memory, so a child can win outright. Nobody is ever out, and no round puts the Cup out of reach.

  • 24 full-page color pictures, every one drawn for this book
  • 12 rounds of about ten minutes, six games in every round
  • Scorecards throughout and a running Cup table
  • For ages 5 to 95

All you need is this book and two pencils.

The Christmas Countdown Championship

The Advent Calendar Game Book

Open the book flat between you. The right-hand page is printed upside down, so the person facing you reads it the right way up. You both play the same game at the same time, one for every day from December 1st to Christmas Eve.

  • 24 head-to-head games, each on its own facing spread
  • Christmas Eve is worth five points on its own, so nothing is settled early
  • 8 bonus nights for the stretch from Christmas Day to Twelfth Night
  • Works for couples, friends, or a parent and a teenager

All you need is this book and two pens.
