About this deal

From code breaking activities to brain teaser activities, your children will love using their amazing minds to solve the spy puzzles and problems. Our first two books raised a staggering amount of money for mental health charities and enabled them to do valuable work in communities across the country. My daughter was in night nappies when she started going to school and I WON'T apologise for it - no one. Writing a foreword to the book, which follows two puzzle books for adults, William and Kate said: “We are delighted that the brilliant minds at GCHQ have been busy working on a third puzzle book, and that this edition is designed for younger readers.

In this fun puzzle book, GCHQ is setting your children on a top-secret mission to solve problems and break codes that could confuse even the cleverest codebreaker.

It impacted our ability to go to work, to school, and to socialise in the way we are all accustomed to.
