I'm looking for something to keep the offspring entertained/challenged next week. Ideally something like a set of linked puzzles, mathematical/logical/cryptic in nature, and may take several hours to solve ie. challenging but not impossible, suitable for GCSE level kids. Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks!

Some of the answers offered to me in the previous topic might be ideas.

Zendo (using lego) is something that I will be using for the first time.

Full set of zendo rules is here: https://www.looneylabs.com/sites/defaul ... /Zendo.pdf
How to use lego is here: (but need to be logged into boardgamegeek to be able to download)

Eleusis is the card based equivalent.
