To climb the mountain maze in Peru, you must go round every place lower than 2,000 metres. To break the code about Denali, you first have to work out its key. And to reach the South Pole on a compass grid, you have to think about what “east” means at the bottom of the world. Everything a puzzle needs is printed on the page, so the puzzles reward careful reading and reasoning rather than trivia learned by heart.
Perfect for
Kids who like a challenge

The facts come from public sources such as national park services and geological surveys, all listed at the back.

A pencil is all it takes. No screens, no batteries and no adult help needed.
