A studio service
Puzzle books for kids, solved before they ship.
Children forgive a hard puzzle. They do not forgive a broken one. We design and illustrate puzzle books for children, each puzzle tested at its age level, with a solutions section and one visual world that holds the book together.
N° 01What goes in the book
A mix that keeps the pages turning.
01
Mazes
From single-route paths to mazes with dead ends, drawn as scenes rather than bare grids.
02
Spot the difference
Paired illustrations with a stated number of differences, placed where a child can find them.
03
Picture crosswords and word puzzles
Picture clues for early readers, word clues, word ladders and codes for older ones.
04
Logic and number puzzles
Small grid puzzles, sequences and odd-one-out, each with a single answer.
05
Matching and shadow puzzles
Which shadow fits, which two are the same, what comes next.
06
Solutions
Every answer shown at the back, small enough not to tempt.
N° 02The part that goes wrong
One broken puzzle spoils the book.
01
Mazes with no route
Each maze is solved after it is drawn, and the solution becomes the answer page.
02
Miscounted differences
If the page says eight differences, there are exactly eight. They are counted on the final artwork.
03
Mixed age levels
A book that jumps between easy and impossible loses its reader. Difficulty rises steadily within one age band.
04
A collection, not a book
Shared characters and a setting turn separate puzzles into something a child wants to finish.
N° 03How it runs
Plan first, artwork after.
01
1. Page plan
We agree the age band, the puzzle types, how many of each and the theme that ties them together.
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.
- What age do you design puzzle books for?
- Any band from preschool to about twelve. The book is planned for one band so the difficulty is consistent.
- Are the puzzles tested?
- Yes. Every maze is solved, every difference counted and every logic puzzle checked for a single answer before the files are delivered.
- Can I supply my own puzzles?
- Yes. If you have written the puzzles, we illustrate and lay them out, and tell you if any does not work.
- 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.
