About Us

Welcome, puzzle lover — we’re thrilled you’ve found us.

If you enjoy logic puzzles like Sudoku, Killer Sudoku or Star Battle, you’ve come to exactly the right place. We’re Puzzle Genius — a small but mighty team of puzzle fanatics, passionate about creating thoughtful, elegant, and satisfying challenges for curious minds like yours.

Who We Are

We’re not a faceless publishing giant, and there’s no swanky glass-and-steel office tower in sight. Puzzle Genius is a small, independent, artisan-style publishing house built on love for the craft. Every puzzle we produce is one we’d enjoy solving ourselves, and that’s no accident.

Hi, I’m Felix Linklater, founder and editor of Puzzle Genius and lifelong puzzle obsessive. My journey began with Sudoku, but it didn’t stop there. One discovery led to another: Killer Sudoku, Suguru, Calcudoku, Star Battle, and beyond. I’ve lost count of how many puzzle types I’ve tried, created, or curated – and now I get to share them with you.

Whether you’re dipping your toes into the world of logic puzzles or you’re already knee-deep in candidate numbers and deduction chains, we’d love to help you discover new favourites.

Why We Are Different

Let’s face it: the puzzle world is flooded with content. But much of it feels… mass-produced. At Puzzle Genius, we do things differently.

We obsess – in a good way. Over clarity. Over grid layout. Over print margins and solving space. Over whether a puzzle eases you in gently or drops you in at the deep end. Every issue we publish, every page we print, is the result of care, testing, and thoughtful design.

Our books span all skill levels, from gentle introductions to fiendish challenges. Whether you want to wind down or fire up, there’s something here for you.

Not Just Books

Yes, we publish books – dozens of them, in all shapes and sizes. But our mission goes further. We want to help you learn new puzzle types, not just solve them.

That’s why we publish Puzzle Weekly, our free members-only magazine. Every Monday, subscribers receive 28 new puzzles, including two featured puzzle types, Sudoku classics, word games, and original colouring pages. It’s our way of sharing what we love, and helping you discover more of it.

You’ll also find in-depth tutorials here on our site for every puzzle we publish — plus a growing collection of video walk-throughs on our YouTube channel. However you like to learn, we’ve got you covered.

For People Who Care About Puzzles

If you care about quality, not just quantity… if you value originality, clarity, and thoughtful design… if you want to discover new challenges that surprise and delight – you’re our kind of person.

Take a look around. Explore our tutorials. Browse the bookshelf. And if you’d like to see what we’re really about, join us. Our weekly puzzle magazine is completely free, and it might just become your new Monday ritual.
