I'm not too sure about that. (Truly super cute but out of my price range.) A good way to get the bed to myself.

alisoncooks Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Ransom Notes - bought it on kickstarter last year, but it’s now available on Amazon. Such a funny game — my teens and I enjoy it.

GailV Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I was looking for a book on Furoshiki and landed in a pile of cute cloths on Amazon including this one . I found the big assortment when I typed in Furoshiki in the amazon search bar, but the website seems happy to show you related products when you look at that individual item. Since we usually wrap gifts in reusable cloths, I'm thinking of getting a couple of special ones for my kids and making the wrapping cloth part of the gift. BTW, the book I was looking for is this one, which I had out of the library and really enjoyed. I might buy it for myself. Or maybe someone will look at my browsing history and get a clue (lol, like anyone else in the family thinks of doing that without REALLY BIG HINTS). 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicki Regarding Journal 29: here four adults (who all like puzzles and are persistent) worked together but I think any of us could have done it alone or in pairs. Some were quick, some quick to know what kind of answer we needed but challenging to get the answer, some were challenging in general. There is a hint forum. Because Journal 29 is a book it was a little tricky logistically with four people. We ended up taking photos instead of trying to pass the book back and forth. Two people could easily sit next to each other and share the book. In short, I think it would be fun for two puzzle people! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
