The latest in Vertical’s devilishly devious, yet delightful, puzzle books—Extreme Sudoku: New Challenges from the Master and Original O’Ekaki: Intelligent Designs from Its Creator—are on sale now. Oh, sure, you’re thinking, I know Sudoku, and you very well may be familiar with the ubiquitous computer-generated examples plastered throughout the daily newspapers. If you’re lucky, you’ll even work up a yawn when you play them. But Vertical puzzles will have you working up a satisfying sweat, because Vertical puzzles are conceived and designed by the nefarious mind of Japanese puzzle genius Tetsuya Nishio. They are not for the faint of heart. Rather they are for those puzzlers who appreciate a brain-busting challenge. And not only did Nishio create Vertical’s O’Ekaki puzzles, but also he invented the game! O’Ekaki is the entertaining creative logic puzzle that utilizes both the right and left sides of your brain. It’s like Sudoku, but with a pay-off as the answer comes in the form of a cool picture that you’ve uncovered with your pencil… if you completed the puzzle correctly. So escape the brain-numbing ennui of the work day, by exercising your brain with the most challenging and entertaining puzzles available. Only from Vertical, of course!
