Product Description
Product Description
Like sudoku, O'Ekaki (Paint by Numbers) provides an entertaining test of one's logic, using a grid as its playing field. But rather than leaving the player with boxes of numbers, O'Ekaki ends with a flourish: a fun piece of art that seems to magically appear when you've correctly darkened the final square grid. And each puzzle's title is an amusing clue to the picture that will ultimately emerge. The puzzle challenge on several levels, from beginning to expert, all resulting in a sometimes elaborate picture.
And every one is designed by the inventor of O'Ekaki himself!

These hanjie puzzles are really hard which is great. Some of them can take up to an hour to do. It is a well set out book and the grids are a good size. Some of the pictures are a bit wierd, but it's still worth the money.

The puzzles were pretty good in this book - they were a bit 'samey' in that they were the same size but I did enjoy doing them.

By FAR, one of the best
19 May 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is by far one of the best pixel puzzles books out there. I can only wish that he would publish monthly instead of annually! The grids are mostly no larger than 30 X 30, with many, many in the 25 X 25 range, and just a few challengers bigger than 30 X 30. The grading of the puzzles from 1-5 are fairly accurate, so you can choose what level you feel like working at and have fun with it. Like all pixels, the smaller puzzles leave a little to be desired in the quality of the picture, but that's to be expected. The larger puzzles turn out pretty nice to beautiful in some cases, and the ones in between are pretty fair representations of some object, not too busy (like the Griddlers).
The only reason I took off one star is for the quality of the paper. It's not as bad as those terrible Griddlers, but it does have some problems. Fortunately, it erases fairly easily, but it also absorbs moisture from the air very easily, so ONLY use this as an indoor book (not recommended for taking to the beach or camping!)

I'm humbled

I've been doing pixel puzzles for a while. So I figured the smaller puzzles would be a cinch. But some of these are very challenging. I use logic and don't rely on the hints. But they are fun to read.
This book would still be good for beginners because of the easy-to-read directions and smaller puzzle format.
Minus one star for the terrible paper. I use pencil and my hands get black and the picture smears. Also for the discomfort because the book is too small to comfortably hold folded. A spiral bound book would definitely keep me coming back for more.
