Picture Puzzle Book - Current Giveaway

On October 22, 2008, I wrote about a fun puzzle book by LIFE Magazine, called Picture Puzzle. Each puzzle consists of two seemingly identical photographs. However, one of the photographs has some subtle changes that you are challenged to find! Can you spot the differences?

Leave a comment to this post, by midnight Tuesday, January 13, to enter a drawing for a free copy of the first book of published puzzles.

It is fun and a great activity for the entire family! We love these books at our house. Each puzzle lists a 'time to beat' based on the difficulty of the puzzle and the number of changes in the puzzle. We love to try to beat the time and to see who can find all the changes the quickest.

YOU MUST SEE THIS WEBSITE

Armored Penguin can generate puzzles, with clues YOU give it. For free! They have generators for crossword puzzles, word search puzzles and word scrambles. I love the idea of creating a booklet for teachers, grandparents, siblings, etc., with personalized puzzles!! What a great idea!

I created my first word search puzzle this morning, saved it to my computer, edited it in Word and printed it out. It'll be a fun activity for my girls after school today!

Also, on this website there are some fun logic puzzles... I played the Bagels game and am hooked! I've marked the site as a favorite.

Picture Puzzle

The most popular feature in LIFE magazine every week—perhaps the most popular weekly page in any American publication—is the Picture Puzzle. There will be variations on themes and variations on the game itself, as scores of color and vintage black-and-white photographs—many from the famous Time-Life Picture Archives—are twisted, doctored, and otherwise toyed with, all in the name of fun and entertainment.

Our family loves these books. Even our youngest daughter, who is seven, gets in to the hunt! There are several editions available, and we've bought our copies at Target, Barnes and Noble and even the book orders that come home with the kids from school. I did a quick on-line search and Amazon has a great selection of the books for great prices.
