Sudoku to Go!: 3 Pocket Pads to Take Anywhere
Introducing a new idea in Sudoku, and it starts with travel: Sudoku to Go! is a collection of three slim notepads, each the perfect size to stick in a pocket or bag, light enough that you wouldn't even know it's there but convenient enough to pull out and play anywhere—on the train, the bus, plane, or in a restaurant while waiting for an order. Published in the same footprint as Nikoli's wildly successful Original Sudoku series the pads are bound by a wide belly-band. Each pad contains 100 all-new puzzles. The pads are rated Easy/Medium, Medium/Hard, and Hard/Very Hard, making it easy to match the player's mood or available time to play.
And because they're from Nikoli, each puzzle is handcrafted by an expert who draws you in with symmetry and elegance, predicts your every move, and adds just enough twists and surprises to challenge you, regardless of the level. It's an experience of play that no computer-generated puzzles can match.

PictoMazes Find 72 Hidden Animals!
by Nikoli Publishing, Kazuyuki Yuzawa
The next big—and challenging!—idea for the adult activity market from Nikoli, the creators of the original Sudoku puzzles and author of Workman’s bestselling Original Sudoku series, with 1.2 million copies in print.
So what is a pictomaze? Created by master puzzle maker Kazuyuki Yuzawa (aka “Mr. King,” for how he sits atop the Japanese puzzle maker’s throne), each pictomaze is an intricate maze that, when solved, reveals an image of an animal. It’s a mental workout, requiring a brain-stretching amount of focus and concentration while testing one’s problem-solving ability and short-term memory. And it’s fun! As the line of your pencil twists and turns, a picture of an animal is slowly revealed. There’s a chimpanzee. A tiger chameleon. A great horned owl. A red panda—and more. Once the animal is complete, the puzzle is solved. Now, color in the path to bring the creature to life, and try the next mystery maze.
Problem-solving. Surprise. Mindfulness. This entertaining and engaging activity exercises different parts of the brain at once—allowing players to keep their minds sharp, imaginative, and ever curious.
