Try our Borborygmus Logic Puzzle Christmas Card!

All the puzzles have been previously published by The Press in Christchurch, New Zealand. The selection that appear in the calendar are only some of the ones most enjoyed by puzzlers since they began to appear weekly from 2002..

A big "Thanks!" to the long-suffering testers who sweated hard over the draft versions of the puzzles in the years that the Borborygmus Logic Puzzles were published weekly; without them, all would have been chaos.

And finally thanks to the original Towser, who was the instigator of the name Borborygmus and who has been a life-long inspiration and support. He knows who he is. Without him, life would have been a lot more peaceful but not nearly as much fun. If our calendars sell well, I shall increase his weekly teabag ration for the week to two.

Remember that the illustrations, commissioned from The Press cartoonist Al Nisbet and so maniacally appropriate for the subject of Towser and Schnozz and the inhabitants of Ollyooze, are illustrations only, and not intended to be any clue or extra hint to the puzzles.

The puzzles in the calendar include:
Pootling to Doot, Pass the Parcel, Thanks a Bunch!, Nights at the Round Table, Scrambled Scrabblers, Showtime, Name that Babe, a Mug's Game, and more!

One for every month of the year, guaranteed to keep you in suitable mental anguish . . .

There are also two tote bag designs incorporating different Borborygmus Logic Puzzles!
