Brainteasers are fun. They're a great way to pass the time and, if you get them right, they can make you feel very clever.
But they're also useful: they challenge us to think logically and creatively about problems and their solutions.
Problem solving is a sought-after skill in the world of work, and puzzles are sometimes used as part of recruitment exercises for apprenticeships and graduate programmes. They are also known as psychometric tests.
We’ve created a series of puzzles and escape room challenges to test your skills. Can you spot the patterns, find the true statements and crack the codes? Who knows - they may even help you get your dream job in the future!
