Product Description
The most popular feature in Life magazine every weekperhaps the most popular weekly page in any American publicationis the Picture Puzzle. This game has become a must-have activity in a great majority of the 13 million households Life reaches every Friday. Hundreds of Life's readers have demanded "We want a Picture Puzzle book!" And here, in a special 192-page collection, that demand is met. There are variations on themes and variations on the game itself, as scores of color and vintage black-and-white photographsmany from the famous Time-Life Picture Archivesare twisted, doctored, and otherwise toyed with, all in the name of fun and entertainment. For the first time, the Picture Puzzle is offered in three different degrees of difficulty. Like the Ultimate Crossword book before it, this book will fly off the shelvesnot just in bookstores, but in airports and supermarkets. From the first issue of the new Life magazine, Picture Puzzle has been a hit, and the same will be true of Life's Picture Puzzlefrom the moment the first copy hits the shelf.

These puzzle books have been such fun for our whole family. Both our son(9) and our daughter(10) have thoroughly enjoyed their puzzle book from cover to cover. We have had contests to challenge each other as well as worked together to conquer each and every one...can't wait to start a new book!

Based on a popular feature in the now defunct Life Magazine "Life: Picture Puzzle" has 90 puzzles in which readers look at two pictures of the same thing and try to find the differences between each puzzle. In a few instances, six pictures of the same thing are shown and readers have to find the one puzzle out of the six that has been changed. There are four levels of difficulty: Novice, Master, Expert and genius. For those who like a bit of an extra challenge, the editors suggest a completion time for each puzzle. While long-time readers of Life Magazine may recognize some of the puzzles, the editors reworked them with new changes. In fact, they use some of the same pictures in the book at different levels and with completely different changes.
"Life: Picture Puzzle" is a fun challenging puzzle book. I thought that with 90 puzzles in the book, the more puzzles I solved there would be repetition of the differences and it would be easier to solve the puzzles but that wasn't true. Some of the puzzles did have obvious changes including obvious color changes, but there were many puzzles in which I couldn't find all the changes. Several of the puzzles offer hints to some of the changes in either the title or description of the puzzle. The number of changes in the puzzles range from as little as six changes to as many as 20; the more changes, the harder the puzzle. The editors do a good job of sorting each puzzle into the appropriate level of difficulty. The Novice Section is easy enough and solvers should easily find the first five or six changes in each puzzle while having to search a bit for the last few. The more details in the picture in the puzzle, the harder it is to solve. "Easter Surprise" with six pictures where solvers have to find the different one was a nice change. The Master Puzzles give you more time to solve the puzzle and range from pretty easy to tricky and hard to solve. The easiest ones to solve are the ones where you have to pick the different picture out of six choices. The Expert Puzzles are tricky and tough with lots of subtle changes, some involving color changes. There aren't very many Genius Puzzles but they are indeed very hard, even the two where you have of find the different puzzle out of six. Fittingly, the last puzzle, "Final Exam" is extremely hard, with 20 changes to find. As an added bonus, several of the puzzles have an added change that is not found in the answer section. The book says to go to the Picture Puzzle Section on Life's website, but even though I followed the instructions in the book, I couldn't find the answer section on-line.
"Life: Picture Puzzle" is hours of challenging fun.
