As for puzzle difficulty, it varies. I've found some puzzles quite easy, but several to be quite challenging. Solving the puzzles is a nice bonus but not the end-all because you can learn a lot of interesting and enlightening trivia!" —Dina Anargyros

While it's not my all-time favorite Chicago scent (deep-dish pizza, duh), it's a pretty delicious alternative that's great for your living room." —Kitt
