Code-Cracker puzzles have long been a fan favourite, appearing daily in newspapers across New Zealand, keeping readers engrossed for hours.

Simon Shuker’s individually handcrafted Code-Cracker puzzles first appeared in New Zealand papers over thirty years ago, and it is now well-established as one of the most popular features in many publications. Its presence in all of the major daily New Zealand newspapers (including the New Zealand Herald, Dominion Post, The Press and the Otago Daily Times) makes it the most widely published word-puzzle in the country.
