A studio service
Activity books made for adults.
Adult activity books are bought to unwind, to keep the mind busy, or as a gift. They need grown-up themes, real difficulty and type that is comfortable to read. We design them as a mixed book or a single-format title, in standard and large print.
N° 01What goes in the book
Proper puzzles, grown-up themes.
01
Word puzzles
Word searches, crosswords, word ladders and anagrams built around a theme.
02
Number and logic puzzles
Sudoku-style grids and logic puzzles at stated difficulty levels, each checked to have one solution.
03
Mazes and dot-to-dot
Detailed mazes and extreme dot-to-dot with hundreds of dots.
04
Coloring pages
Line art for adults mixed between the puzzles as a rest.
05
Large-print editions
Rebuilt with bigger grids and type, not simply enlarged.
06
Solutions
A full solutions section, laid out so an answer is easy to find.
N° 02The part that goes wrong
Comfort is the product.
01
Children's content resized
Puzzles lifted from a children's book feel patronising. Themes and difficulty are set for adults from the start.
02
Unsolvable puzzles
A logic puzzle with two solutions, or none, earns a bad review. Each is solved before it goes in.
03
Small type
Many buyers want large print. Type size and grid size are agreed in the plan.
04
Health claims
We do not print claims that a book improves memory or treats any condition. The book is described as what it is: puzzles.
N° 03How it runs
Plan first, artwork after.
01
1. Page plan
We agree the audience, the mix of puzzle types, the difficulty and whether there is a large-print edition.
02
2. Sample pages
Two or three finished pages in the agreed look, so you approve the style and the difficulty before the rest is made.
03
3. Full interior
Every page produced to the plan, with answers or instructions where the format needs them, then one consolidated round of changes.
04
4. Cover and files
Cover design, front matter and print-ready files at your trim size, set to your printer's or platform's template.

N° 05Questions
The answers we give most often.
- Do you make activity books for seniors?
- Yes. They are usually large print with clear, high-contrast pages and themes the reader recognises. We make no medical claims about them.
- What is a large-print edition?
- A separate layout with larger type and bigger grids, which usually means fewer items per page. Enlarging a standard page does not give the same result.
- Are the puzzles checked?
- Yes. Word puzzles are checked against their word lists and logic puzzles are solved to confirm a single solution before layout.
- Can it be printed through Amazon KDP?
- Yes. It is a standard paperback and we set the files to KDP's template or your printer's.
- Do I own the puzzles?
- Yes, with full commercial rights and the source files.
