Description
The GCHQ Puzzle Book is a unique collection of puzzles from the British intelligence organisation, GCHQ.
GCHQ is a top-secret intelligence and security agency, known for recruiting some of the very brightest minds. Over the years, their codebreakers have played a vital role in keeping the country safe, from the Bletchley Park breakthroughs during WWII to countering modern-day cyberattacks.
It's no surprise that, even during their leisure time, the staff at GCHQ enjoy a good puzzle. Whether they are recruiting new staff or challenging each other with tough Christmas quizzes and intricate treasure hunts, puzzles are integral to the work and culture of GCHQ.
Now, GCHQ opens up its archives, presenting decades' worth of codes, puzzles, and challenges for everyone to attempt. Experience the thrill and intellectual challenge of solving puzzles that have been central to the agency's work.
