It’s a beautifully designed toy box filled with an enormous variety of code-breaking ciphers and visual riddles..."

I adored playing this when I was younger and just picked it back up for fun. It’s a bit challenging, but so much fun. The puzzles very well put together and engaging. It’s good for fun for anyone.

If you enjoy a good frustrating period of head scratching and furious note taking as much as I do, you will love The Guides and it’s sequel Axiom. A new timeless classic.

Excellent set of puzzles and codes to break with an interesting story in the background.

Glad I got this game - I was hesitant. But the puzzles are done well. Some are solved easily, and for others I can’t figure out what to do, and have to come back later. It took me quite a few levels just to figure out the interface. For those of us who enjoy puzzles where your first problem when presented with a new screen is, “what am I supposed to do with this,” this is right up our alley. No directions - just something to figure out. Quite fun!

I wanted to enjoy this, but eventually it gets too clever for its own good. If you’re prepared to put hours into thinking about the puzzles fine, but otherwise it can get frustrating very quickly. And there’s no reward ‘hit’ once you solve a problem - just straight on to the next one.

Game has a good balance of challenge and clues. Sneaky at times. Puzzle completed may have info used later. Has story to go with it.

Some solutions seem overly cryptic, but maybe I’m just too dumb. Anyway, a fine game with an interesting premise.

I found this to be a pleasant exercise in thinking outside box. It has become an obsession. Can’t put it down!
