Adult activity books bring together mixed activities, games, puzzles and interactive entertainment for grown-ups who are sick of adulting. Switch from a puzzle to a quiz, get stuck into a game or explore a cheeky challenge. Ink & Attitude’s funny activity books are made for doing, not just reading. Pick your mix, grab a pencil and give the scrolling thumb a break.

Which activity book is for you?

• Come Play With Me... I’ve Got Games: choose this for word searches, crosswords, mazes and Sudoku, alongside games and quizzes. A playful mix when you want to change activities without taking it all too seriously.
• Come Play With Me... I’m on Bail: choose this for word searches, puzzles, brain teasers, games and cheeky grown-up humour. A mixed activity book for downtime that needs a little attitude.
• We All Have That One Friend: choose this for word searches, crosswords, Sudoku, personality quizzes, roasts and friendship-themed challenges. For the mate you immediately thought of, or the friend you might secretly be.

Still deciding? Read Which Ink & Attitude Activity Book Should You Buy? Compare the Three Books. Check each product page for its contents, format, dimensions and current price. These are mixed activity books, so an activity in one title is not automatically included in another.

A little variety, a lot of attitude

You don’t have to feel like solving puzzles every time you open a book. Mixed activity books let you move between different kinds of participation, from answering quiz questions to playing games or trying a puzzle. Follow each activity’s instructions and choose the mix that appeals to you. No productivity assignment required.

Keep one nearby for a coffee break, a night in or downtime away. Prefer company? Look for activities whose instructions suit shared play rather than assuming every page is a group game. The point is entertainment, not turning your evening into another thing to achieve.

Activity books, puzzle books or word puzzle books?

Start here for mixed activities, games, puzzles and interactive entertainment. If you mainly want challenges to solve and brain games, browse Adult Puzzle Books. If you want word-based activities and word puzzles, explore Word Search & Word Puzzle Books for Adults.

Some books appear in more than one collection because they contain a mix of activities. Choose by what you feel like doing, then check the individual book’s contents. Prefer responding to prompts and having space to write? Explore Writing Prompt Journals.

Want more than one book?

Frequently asked questions

Are adult activity books just puzzle books?

No. Mixed activity books can include games, quizzes and other interactive entertainment alongside puzzles. Choose this collection for variety; use the individual book’s listed contents to find the mix you enjoy.

Do I need special equipment?

A pen or pencil is a useful starting point. Check the instructions for any additional items a particular activity needs.

Can I buy one as a gift?

Yes. Choose the activities, theme and humour to suit the recipient. These books are made for adults, so consider their language and themes before buying for a younger reader or someone who prefers gentler humour.

Should I choose an activity book or a writing prompt journal?

Choose an activity book for a mix of activities, games, puzzles and interactive entertainment. Choose a writing prompt journal when you mainly want prompts to respond to and space to write. Some bundles combine both, so check the included titles.
