🎨 Collab Project Showcase with Puffin Books at Penguin Random House UK 🎨 Celebrating Our Role in The Most Unladylike Puzzle Book: A Unique Adventure! We are thrilled to share our involvement in The Most Unladylike Puzzle Book! As the design studio behind this exciting project, we had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with the talented team at Penguin Random House and the brilliant author Robin Stevens. This unique book, featuring two covers and two sides which can be flipped over, so amateur detectives can choose between embarking on super spy missions with Eric, May, and Nuala or solving mysteries at Deepdean and Weston with the Detective Society and the Junior Pinkertons. Readers will dive into interactive mysteries, solving brain-teasing challenges alongside their favourite characters! This book is part logic test and part short story collection, making it the perfect introduction for new fans while offering exciting Easter eggs for long-time followers to hone their detective skills. Working on this project has been a joy for our team, and we couldn’t be more proud of the final product. We’re excited for everyone to help solve the puzzles inside! Let us know if you have any puzzle books in need of creative design!
