Sam Lynch | 1 comments Im looking for a book that i remember to be a3.
With a "wheres wally" type format. Where you had to search the page for items to progress your adventure.

Some spread pages i remember vaguely are:
A sewer with rats.
An extremely dusty Kitchen.
A laboratory.
Possibly a dungeon.

On each page you would have to find certain items.
Rotten eggs
Banana peels
Keys
Coins etc.

The drawing style was graphic / horror. Very detailed and well illustrated.

Potentailly for ages 10 - 16

I remember this from childhood so potentiality 15-20 years old??

There's another thread for a different book (I think...), but it has all the hot tips for Puzzle Books on it:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Maybe have a look at some of the lists and titles mentioned there? Anything helping? :)

The (external link) worth checking (if you'd like) is: https://www.paperbackdetectives.com/#

Dragon Quest (Usborne Fantasy Adventure) by Andy Dixon
Dragon Quest

It has Smelly Sewers where you have to search for rotten eggs and banana skins. There is a Giant's Kitchen.

It's also on one or several of the lists that Capn mentioned.
