There are all kinds of puzzles available: some are simple and fun, others time-consuming and challenging, and a few which are downright frustrating! At Langevin, we have discovered that brainteasers and trivia are effective and popular with adult learners. Our learners rave so much about them, that Ralph Langevin has personally selected his favorite trivia puzzles and brainteasers from our workshops and combined them into a book that is sure to be your favorite too!

This collection contains:

Hundreds of trivia puzzles based on popular culture
Over 200 mind-bending brainteasers

Your learners will love these puzzles and brainteasers as much as our learners do, but maybe not quite as much as Ralph!!!
