This Puzzle Book Won’t Let You Flip The Page Until You Solve It

Published 8 years ago

You thought Kafka was difficult to read? Well, prepare for the next level of difficult. We’re talking about the Codex Silenda – a book that won’t let you flip the page until you solve its puzzles.

Each page features a unique puzzle that requires the user/reader to unlock the corresponding bolts in order to progress to the next page,” read’s the website. “As the puzzler moves through the book, a story begins to unfold, depicting the story of an apprentice in Da Vinci’s Workshop who encounters the same Codex. However, in the story, the Codex acts as a trap set by Da Vinci to capture any would be spies/snoopy apprentices in order to protect his work. The only way to escape is to solve each of the puzzles before the master returns from his trip.

This hand-crafted puzzle adventure is a creation of industrial designer Brady Whitney, who’s pushing this laser-cut, five-page head spinner through a Kickstarter campaign as we speak.
