Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Killer Puzzles was a series of puzzle books by Kjartan Poskitt (also known for the Murderous Maths series) published in the mid-to-late nineties. They had several key differences from other puzzle books of the time: they were extremely difficult, did not have any answers or solutions, and each had a secret (usually a coded message) which you could only uncover by solving all of the puzzles. The following titles were published in the series: Decode the Deadliest Joke in the Universe (1993) Find the Phantom of Ghastly Castle (1994) Attack of the Killer Puzzles (1996) Titus O'Skinty's Gruesome Game Show (1998) | |

Nintendo Hard: The series as a whole was meant to be this, and it apparently succeeded, as Poskitt got as much correspondence from adults asking for help as he did from children. | |

Hint System: All of the books include hints and nudges for some of the nastier puzzles, but only Find the Phantom of Ghastly Castle includes the solution (albeit written in code). | |

Red Herring | |
| Killer Puzzles / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Attack of the Killer Puzzles requires you to do the puzzles in a certain order to decode the secret message, with the solution to each puzzle telling you which page you need to go to next. Resultantly, there are several puzzles you're not meant to do at all to solve the book; some of these are Unwinnable by Design and have no correct answer, but others are legitimate puzzles with correct answers. There is also at least one puzzle which looks like it is a red herring because it seems that logically no page should direct you to it, but is in fact necessary to complete the book. | |
