The Owlbrook promise
Why puzzlers love an Owlbrook book
A story to follow
Most Owlbrook books wrap their puzzles in a story: a rain-soaked noir city, a fog-bound town, a realm to chart. The twist is never given away in the blurb.
Fair, every time
Every puzzle is checked by computer to have exactly one solution, and every one can be solved by logic alone. No guessing, no trick questions.
Easy to start
Clear rules and worked examples up front, gentle first chapters, then the difficulty climbs. The solutions wait patiently at the back.
Made for grown-ups
Dark but never gory, spooky but never nasty. Big pages, roomy grids, and a cat, an owl or a raven hiding in the pictures.

Hello from the owl's nest
I'm Aaron Barbara, and I started Owlbrook Puzzles in Malta with a simple idea: a puzzle book for grown-ups should feel like a good book, with a world to step into, a story that pulls you along, and puzzles that always play fair.
From cozy village mysteries to a fog-bound gothic town, every Owlbrook series is built around that promise.
