Over 50 Secret Codes (Usborne Puzzles)

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

Bought this to help make up codes my 10 year old grandson had to crack to find his Christmas gifts. Worked a treat. There’s Morse and Semaphore plus loads more and the answers are in the back to help. Great little book.

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.

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.

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.

10 yo daughter loved it

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.

As this wasn't a new book, unfortunately all the code answers had been filled in with biro. Shame as my grandson would have enjoyed solving the codes :(
