A pure puzzle game with no relation to the House of Da Vinci titles. This plays like a puzzle book, with 50 pages that must be translated into 5 letters and entered into the Codex to proceed. Puzzles range from very simple to a few that are fairly obscure. There is a hint button if you are truly stuck. It is designed for a touch screen but plays fine with a mouse. It is a relaxing exercise to tickle your brain without any distractions from story, dialog, or scenery.

50 levels.. around 25 unique levels - rest is repetitions. 20 of these levels are cool, the others didn't make much sense imo (solution-wise). All in all I played the whole game in 2 hrs and had fun for 75% of that time. But that's not worth 4€.

There are many easy puzzles, a few that make you think, a dash of brain ticklers, and a handful that make no sense. If you are easily frustrated over games that have answers that are wrong, arbitrary, or force assumptions, don't play.

This set is as bad as the dev's set of box puzzles, so I have been stupid enough to be stung twice through not checking dev /publisher names. The questions are a list of sloppy ways to disguise early primary school maths, which means that maths teachers must be candidates for genius status as they will nearly all have had to mark work from pupils, who do calculations anywhere but logically ordered where the intended answer will be. These insults to poor Da Vinci will be deleted, after I actually managed to reach question 4 in the first game, as I don't want to waste time working out what is meant, through testing a number of options, only to solve a very simple 'problem'. There are lots of excellent puzzle games on Steam. Long playing record is the result of leaving my laptop on, while having a meal.
