About us

Blue Merlin Books is an independent publisher of puzzle, activity and adventure books. Our list includes cosy murder mystery logic puzzles, collections of phone-free adventures and humorous gift books.

Each title is made to be used on paper, whether that means a pencil and a quiet half hour or a day out with the book in your bag. Our aim is simple: to publish books good enough that readers choose them over their phones.

We publish a small number of titles and look after each one from first draft to finished print edition.

Our name comes from the merlin, a small and very fast falcon.
