Over 50 Secret Codes (Usborne Puzzles)

Bought this for my goddaughter (6years old at the time). Since then she has done some of the puzzles with me.If kids haven’t done this type of thing before they may need a bit of guidance to think through the instructions and work oht how to start deciphering the code (some are easier than others). Once they’ve done one or 2 letters correctly you can leave them to finish the page.If she was older she would probably be able to do it totally by herself.

We have found this book to be great for coding ideas. Codes are now used all over the house!!Some of them are a little tricky and depending on the age of the user, may require some teamwork.Our child is 7 and with a little help, she has been able to quickly get a handle on maybe 30-40% of the codes.The layout is user friendly. The explanations are short and simple.

I love this book. I'm a Year 6 teacher (age 10-11) and was looking for some inspiration for an end of year escape room. These codes vary in difficulty and can be linked to a couple of different topics (WW2, Egyptians etc). The book contains a bit of background about each type of code as well as example for you to have a go at. There are spaces in the book for you to write in the answers if you wish to.

Bought for my grandson whom I'm introducing to the sort of exciting thing I loved as a child. Will keep a child occupied and focussed and the child will learn from it, too.

My 6 year old loves it!

Both my Tom boy daughter and girly princess loved this. It has created hours of fun. Worth while purchase

Really fun! Bought it for my nephew for Christmas. I haven’t given it to him yet but I’ve been rather enjoying solving some of the coded messages. I’m certain he’ll love it.

Bought this for my son's 10th birthday and he hasn't put it down since ! Great idea for inquisitive minds & so far the right amount of challenge. Plus my son can pretend he is a spy ! Win win all round ! Recommended.
