Put your creative talents to the test and see if you can conjure up a perplexing puzzle that fits this month‘s contest theme of “Mammals, Birds and Fish”. You could use your favourite pet for inspiration or go for a more exotic creature to make the puzzle a bit trickier to work out. From a gerbil to a blue whale, the world's your oyster in this month's contest! The contest runs from September 1st through to September 24th, so best get your thinking caps on.

The winning puzzles from August's contest will be made available for download from September 17th, and don't forget that new Puzzle Packs are made available for download every Friday!
