BBC MindGames

In common with other magazines in the BBC Worldwide stable, it had a glossy cover, extensive features and interviews, and a witty tone.

[1] A feature called Mind Games, including a similar selection of puzzles, now appears in BBC Focus magazine.

The premise here is that a photograph is shown of a series of props, images and text, all of which will lead the solver to identifying a famous person (living or dead) hiding somewhere in the world, carrying out some activity or other.

The magazine includes a number of characters who provide assistance, clues and additional puzzles for the readers.

Within the magazine are a number of articles and puzzles that are based upon or directly linked with existing BBC radio and television programmes.
