Gurugram: Challenging the conventional idea of books, Cypher Mind has officially launched India’s First National Puzzle Challenge, a first-of-its-kind mind adventure that combines puzzles, logic, creativity, and rewards into a single immersive experience.
Authored by Sahil Dhawan and Tariq Imtyaz and published by Ink Orbit, Cypher Mind – The Ultimate Challenge Bookis not just a book—it is an interactive journey that encourages participants to think differently, solve intelligently, and compete nationally through an engaging challenge format.
The mind adventure features 40 carefully designed mind-challenging tasks that test logical reasoning, observation, pattern recognition, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Participants can solve the challenges, submit their answers online, and become part of a nationwide puzzle challenge where intelligence meets excitement. Those who successfully solve all 40 challenges will also stand a chance to win reward money of up to ₹31 lakh, subject to applicable terms and conditions. The reward pool will be unlocked upon achieving the minimum required number of participant registrations, making the challenge a unique initiative that encourages collective participation and intellectual excellence.
Speaking about the launch, Tariq Imtyaz, Co-author of Cypher Mind, said: “Cypher Mind was created with the belief that learning should be exciting and thinking should be celebrated. We wanted to build an experience that encourages people to challenge themselves, sharpen their minds, and rediscover the joy of solving problems. This is not just another puzzle book—it is a mind adventure designed to inspire curiosity and continuous learning.”
Sharing his thoughts, Sahil Dhawan, Co-author of Cypher Mind, said: “Our vision extends beyond publishing a book. We want to build a nationwide movement that celebrates intelligence, curiosity, and creativity. Through Cypher Mind, we aim to make learning interactive and engaging while encouraging people of all ages to embrace the thrill of solving challenges.”
Designed for students, professionals, families, puzzle enthusiasts, and lifelong learners alike, Cypher Mind blends the experience of reading with interactive gameplay and digital participation. By combining offline problem-solving with an online evaluation platform, it creates a unique learning ecosystem that rewards knowledge, perseverance, and analytical thinking.
The official launch of Cypher Mind was organised on June 28, 2026, at Comfort Inn Dhaliwas, Sector 45, Gurugram, where the authors unveiled the mind adventure and shared the vision behind creating India’s first national puzzle challenge.
