What is Brainyhawk?

Brainyhawk offers a unique collection of reading-based logic puzzles, crafted around quirky and imaginative themes like fake restaurant menus, pretend vintage-style telegrams, fictional TV guides, and more. These puzzles are a haven for puzzle enthusiasts who enjoy reading between the lines, solving problems with creative thinking, and applying real-world knowledge, wordplay, maths, and logical reasoning—plus a dash of puns!

How do you play them?

Each Brainyhawk puzzle challenges you to crack a 6-digit code by solving a series of clues and riddles. You'll be presented with a scenario or set of information—such as a detailed fake menu or a fictional old-fashioned telegram—that you'll need to analyze and interpret. The key to solving these logic puzzles lies in the clues provided within the text or in the referenced companion content.

Can these puzzles be played solo?

Absolutely! While we recommend playing in a group for the most fun and varied perspectives, our puzzles are also a great solo challenge. If you're a fan of brain teasers, riddles, and word games, you'll find plenty to keep you engaged on your own.

What skills do I need to play these puzzles?

Our puzzles are designed for anyone who loves logic, puzzles, maths, and problem-solving. You'll need to read carefully, think critically, and enjoy making connections that aren't immediately obvious. A sense of humor and an appreciation for geeky, quirky themes and puns will also enhance your experience!

How difficult are the puzzles?

The difficulty of our puzzles varies, with riddles typically arranged in ascending order of challenge within each puzzle. Because each puzzle touches on a range of subjects, what one person finds easy might be tricky for another—and vice versa!

Do I need any special materials to play?

No special materials are required—just your wits and perhaps a pen and paper for notes. You’ll need an internet connection to check your answers on our site. We encourage you to use any tools at your disposal, whether it's an app on your phone, a quick online search, or asking your mum’s friend Sandra for help.

Are these puzzles suitable for all ages?

While our puzzles are primarily designed with adults in mind, they are generally suitable for older children and teens who enjoy a good challenge.
