Cluedle is a problem solving book aimed at younger children or teenagers. The problems are disguised as mysteries so for each problem you are solving a case. The book contains 6 cases all of which are made up mutliple tasks so there are plenty of puzzles to have a go at and the majority of the puzzles have a helpful hint included as well.

I really liked the variation in the types of puzzles ranging from maps to ciphers. The storylines were fun to follow along and it did make the puzzles very engaging. I thought the puzzles were pitched at the correct difficulty as there were challenging and made you think but were still solvable. I thought the formatting of the book was great and I liked that tables are provided were needed to help solve codes and that there is a dedicated space for the answers. I liked that there were pages left mostly blank for scribbling down your workings out.

My only issue is that this book didn't work well in a digital format as quite often the information is spread over 2 pages so you have to keep flipping backwards and forwards which got frustrating. This also makes it difficult to check answers which are all at the back of the book. Obviously if you buy this in a physical format this won't be an issue.

Overall I really enjoyed the concept of this book and found the puzzles very entertaining!
