OPEN WHEN BORED

The Screen-Free Book for Fun, Friends & Family

by Alaa Zumam

Give teens a fresh way to fill a quiet afternoon, a long ride, or the wait between plans. OPEN WHEN BORED turns spare moments into chances to solve, imagine, and share a laugh—without reaching for a screen.

Inside are 81 puzzles arranged across seven sections, with challenges that move from easier starts to trickier brainteasers. Find hidden words, crack codes, work through mazes, and explore a variety of themed puzzles. When it’s time for a different kind of fun, quick doodles, curious observations, and ridiculous conversation starters invite readers to think creatively and get talking.

Made for ages 13–18, this activity book is easy to pick up in whatever way suits the moment. Open to a random page, settle into a favorite section, solve solo, take turns, or team up with family and friends. Clear instructions help readers get started, and answers at the back make it easy to check solutions.

A thoughtful gift for teens who enjoy puzzles and playful challenges, this collection brings low-prep entertainment to home, travel, and everyday downtime. Just add a pencil—and someone who’s ready to play.
