Thomas Gable · Senior Activity & Word Search Books
Halloween is one of those holidays that comes with a lifetime of memories: costumes sewn at the kitchen table, the crunch of leaves on the walk to a neighbor’s porch, a bowl of candy by the door. Our newest book from Thomas Gable, the Ripplebound imprint for seniors, is built around exactly those memories, and it’s available now.
Halloween Memory & Recall Activity Book: Challenge Edition
- 150 Halloween-themed activities
- Large print with longer word lists and bigger grids
- Trickier recall for readers who like a stretch
- Answers in the back, plus a free answer guide online
Made for puzzlers who like a good workout
The Challenge Edition is for readers who enjoy a real stretch. Word lists are longer, grids are bigger and the memory games ask you to hold onto a little more. Some activities spread across two pages. It’s still printed large and clear, so the challenge is in the puzzle, not in squinting at the page.
What’s inside
The book is divided into five seasonal sections: Trick-or-Treat Time, Costumes & Characters, Spooky Nights, Pumpkins & Harvest and Halloween Fun. Inside, you’ll find three kinds of activities, each marked with its own small icon:
Short-term memory
Study a list or a set of pictures, turn the page, and see how much you remember.
Long-term memory
Favorite sayings, riddles, trivia and prompts that invite you to share your own Halloween memories.
Classic puzzles
Word searches, Sudoku, word scrambles, rhyming games and more.
There’s no time limit and no wrong way to use it. Skip around, do a page a day, or work through a section together with a friend or grandchild.
A free answer guide, right here
Every answer is printed in the back of the book, and each activity tells you which page to turn to. We’ve also posted a free, larger-print Challenge Edition answer guide on the website, with extra help like where each hidden word starts and what changed in each picture. You can read it online or download it to print.
Prefer a gentler pace?
The Gentle Edition is available now too, with the same cozy Halloween themes in shorter lists, one activity per page and a relaxed, no-pressure pace. It’s a lovely choice for readers who want to enjoy the puzzles without any strain, or for sharing with a parent or grandparent.
