Welcome to the giant encyclopedia of puzzles!

 

Puzzles & Riddles is filled with way over 1000 puzzles, including music, narration, movies, photographs, drawings, and hundreds of classic word puzzles including charades, rebuses, riddles, hidden places, letter chops,, enigmas, and much more!  In addition to presenting a wide variety of traditional puzzles, entirely new puzzle categories were invented for this collection.  

 

Never-Ending Riddles

Each box is full of different riddles.

 

Rebus Riot!

There's a different Rebus Riot set in each box.  Contains literary and pictorial puzzles. 

 

Hidden Places

Click on any planet to explore.  This type of puzzle will not only test your puzzle solving skills, but also your knowledge of geography.

 

Audio Graffiti

Every letter and symbol is a different audio graffiti - 49 total!  Someone said something, but it got all scrambled up.  Can you figure out who said this scrambled quote?

 

Movie Memory

Each of the little film clips in the squares provided is a different movies. Select each one and explore.

 

Fun House Mirrors and Fractures

There is a different mirror or fracture in each box.  Click on any box - can you tell what it is a picture of?

 

3-D Double Takes

Each box has a different 3-D double take in it.  Click on the boxes to explore.

 

Enigmas

The puzzles describe a word in a way similar to a riddle.  It's sometimes phrased in verse, other times as prose, and often in a way that is furthest from the answer.

 

Letter Chops

These fun little verses described a word that, when the first letter is removed, or "chopped off," a different word is left.

 

Historic Encyclopedia of Puzzles

From ancient times and places.  There are seven boxes, each one full of puzzles.  These puzzles are presented exactly as they appeared in historic books throughout the ages.  The language is odd...the puzzles are hard.

 

Puzzle Sampler and Puzzle Help

How to solve the puzzles.  You can click on any puzzle category provided for descriptions and puzzle solving tips! 

 

Charades

The same concept as the game you play where you act out the parts of a word or phrase, and the others try and guess what it is.  This is a similar idea, except this in written form.  Many of these puzzles are written out as poems and describe certain aspects of a word.

 

Wacky Words

Some parts are spoken backwards.  You can click on the word 'HUH' to repeat the backwards parts.  Click the correct phrase when you know a backwards part.  By clicking on the professor, you can hear the full Wacky Word.

 

Lost Letter Departments

Using a common phrase, every first letter of each word in the phrase has been remove or lost.  All punctuation has also been removed.  To make it more confusing, one letter words, e.g., I have also been removed.  The phrases have also been grouped into three

 

JR Originals

Contains 20 original puzzles.  These puzzles are of varying degrees of difficulty.

 

Where's That Sound?

Click on one of the four selections.  Move the cursor around the picture to hear a sound.  Remember what you hear, and where you heard it.  You will be looking for a specific sounds given to you.

 

Mixed Up Quotes

Play for excerpts and try and figure out the order they go in a click on the answer to see if you are right.  Go to the next quote and test your luck.  Go to the next quote and test your luck!

 

Special Puzzles

A collection of puzzles of various types.  Each puzzle in this section is interesting, unusual or historic in some way.  In most cases, these puzzles are either hard, or odder, or just simply different enough that they have their own category.

 

 

Features:

 

  • Over 1,000 puzzles in 17 categories to make math and word problems fun for your child!

 

  • Multimedia brain twisters and teasers with animation, sounds and music.

 

  • Challenges problem solving and creative thinking skills.

 

  • Multimedia format perfect for a family activity!

 

  • An easy-to-use interface.

 

  • Search:  The Search feature is very powerful.  Simply type in any word or phrase you want to look up, for example, ancient, music, Shakespeare, etc.  You'll get a list of all the topics that have what you're looking for.  

 

  • Index:  There are many indexes; each one is an alphabetical list of some sort, either one of the minor indexes such as Never-Ending Riddles or Rebus Riot, or the Master Index which has all of the puzzles on the disc -- way over 1000 of them!  Using the Master Index is an easy, quick way to look up a specific puzzle that you are interested in.

 

  • Help:  The Help Button will always pop up a short description of the puzzle category, and perhaps offer some historical background and/or puzzle solving tips.  

 

  • Audio:  Spread throughout the disc are audio clips of various sorts: narrations, sound effects, music, and so on.  Some of this audio is background only, while other audio is part of the puzzle.  There is actually an entire concert tucked away, inside the 3-D Double Takes section.  

 

  • Graphics:  There is a very large collection of photos and graphics integrated into this encyclopedia.  You can see these photos by clicking whenever you see instructions to do so.

 

  • Movies:  There is a Movie Memories section that is part of the Encyclopedia.  You can view these movies by clicking directly on the opening picture of the movie.
