Welcome to the Clue Detective Puzzle Agency!
Clue Detective’s “Crack the Codeword” is an engaging and interactive puzzle portal designed specifically for libraries.
Codeword puzzles are enjoyable (everyday) leisure activities. However, behind the scenes, they are helping the puzzler engage their brain, improve their concentration, logic, stamina, focus, critical thinking and mental resilience. They are also wonderful for building good language and literacy skills. Puzzles can be also designed for a range of age groups.
Our mission is to promote the benefits of puzzling!
It could be said that solving a puzzle has traditionally been a solitary activity, and of course, there is nothing wrong with this. However, at Clue Detective, our passion is to promote the benefits of group puzzling. Several years ago, we developed an acronym. It is CUSP, which stands for Catch Up to Solve Puzzles. This involves a group of people (of any age) gathering together to enjoy solving codeword puzzles in a public space, such as a library or community centre.
Getting together with friends and family is one of the most important activities we can engage in, and solving codewords in a group is a wonderful way to socialise, and stay connected. It is a helpful way to regularly re-connect, de-stress, and enjoy each other’s company and see how everyone is going. If someone who attends regularly is not there, it should be a cue to check in on them; it never hurts.
Public libraries and other community spaces are increasingly being seen as valuable mental health hubs. They are warm, welcoming and safe places. Running a CUSP Crack the Codeword Puzzle Club in your library is an ideal way to bring patrons together and raise mental health awareness in your local community.
Accept the Crack the Codeword Challenge!
Many people would agree there is always something mysterious about a coded message. When you solve crack the codeword puzzles at the Clue Detective Puzzle Agency, you will discover that they are a fantastic blend of solving crosswords and cracking a code. The first thing you need to get used to is that there aren’t the conventional crossword clues you are used to. Instead, the grid has a random, inbuilt number/letter code that you must decipher to fill in the grid. Every puzzle has a new code, so you may have the same words, but they are in disguise every time. It allows you to build your vocabulary, learn new words and revise familiar ones.
