ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for educational and cognitive-skills training. A method of educating a user includes an act of organizing a plurality of clues in a book. At least one search including selected clues from the plurality of clues is included in the book. The search is conducted in the book, and each of the selected clues must be found and solved in a specific predetermined order. The search clues are organized and/or selected to insure that the user cannot move sequentially through the pages. The user determines the solution to each clue to locate the next clue and, ultimately, to locate the end of the search. The solutions are organized and displayed in a predictable way (e.g., alphabetically or numerically) so that the user can “look up” each solution.
