THE PUZZLE HOUSE
THE PUZZLE HOUSE was established by Roy and Sue Preston in 1988 to create quiz and puzzle material for the book, magazine and entertainment industries. Since then we have written and compiled over 250 puzzle, crossword, quiz and activity books, and carried out puzzle commissions from top-selling magazines each and every week.
We remain a small independent business, and can still guarantee individual attention whether you want a single puzzle for a one-off project or a series of specialist books. We can accommodate most time scales and budgets, and we would be pleased to discuss your own particular requirements.
For further information contact Roy or Sue Preston by phone or email - details on the Contact section.

New Puzzle Book is a Classic!
It was very exciting for The Puzzle House to be entrusted with designing and creating the majority of puzzles for THE CLASSIC FM PUZZLE BOOK. Published in October 2019 by Cassell, an imprint of Octopus Publishing Group Ltd, the book is a collection of tricky trivia, complex wordplay, visual teasers and more.
The 288 page paperback contains more than 100 classical conundrums that link to the music of the much-loved radio station Classic fm.
