Join your library’s community of puzzlers

Public libraries have long been centres of learning, discovery, and community engagement. In the digital age, creating a community of puzzlers in a library certainly has its place.  These institutions can use innovative methods to extend their reach to promote these brain-teasing challenges as an interactive form of entertainment. 

Clue Detective’s mission is to work with public libraries to help them build a vibrant community of puzzlers to bring patrons together to learn, have fun and make life-long friends.

Solving puzzles can:

  • Support lifelong learning
  • Sharpen cognitive, logic and critical thinking skills
  • Boost vocabulary and general knowledge
  • Bring people together in a spirit of friendly competition and collaboration.

Help your library patrons become a community of puzzlers

By making codewords accessible to all library patrons, Clue Detective aims to foster curiosity, encourage personal growth, and nurture a vibrant, inclusive community built around shared enjoyment and achievement.

Our innovative approach ensures that when your public library subscribes to Clue Detective, every patron receives full and free access as a registered member.

Library users can solve Clue Detective puzzles

  • Inside the library, solo and/or with friends
  • From their homes, at school
  • When they are out and about – in their favourite cafe, on a park bench, on a railway platform, while on holiday!

The library provides universal access to ensure that all members, regardless of their location or schedule. They can enjoy the benefits of Clue Detective, and can enjoy tackling such activities as a codeword, crossword or a sudoku.  New content is constantly being added, so it’s best to check in regularly to discover new challenges and inspirations.
