Puzzle making not to be confused with puzzle solving, is the invention and construction of brain teasing puzzles (tests) of logic, patience or deduction for others to solve.

Popularity
For every brain teasing challenge to solve there has to be an original puzzle setter.

Location
With the exception of the phisical manufacturing of a puzzle, the creation can be carried out just about anywhere, where you can give it your full attention, at home, in the countryside or whilst on a long and boring aeroplane trip,

Age
Puzzles can be created by any age of either sex, and is only competitive in the sense of making something that others will think interesting, and will want to solve.

Ability
The ability necessary is up to the puzzle maker. A pencil and paper puzzle may just need an inventive mind, whereas a jigsaw puzzle or phisical puzzle of dexterity and logic, may need woodworking or metal working skills to create.

Description
A good puzzle is a puzzle that can be solved by either deduction, patience or logic. The puzzle must hold the attention and interest of the puzzle solver, preferably in a way that they will not put it down, or that they keep returning to until the solution is found. Puzzles should be made with a clear age group or ability of puzzle solver in mind, from young children to experienced puzzle solvers.

Potential
Most puzzle makers will tell you that the most satisfying part of creating a puzzle is not in the beating of the puzzle solver, but in the satisfaction of the puzzler in solving your puzzle.

Closely Related Activities
anagrams, crosswords, word searches, jigsaws, quizzing, sudoku, navigati, hitori, kakuro Rubik's cube, MENSA challenges and even garden mazes, are all puzzles that are great fun and very satisfying to solve, but can be equally rewarding to create.

Cost
The only costs involved in puzzle making are in the actual manufacturing of the puzzle, unless you think you can go commercial with your idea, a route full of competition and costing many thousands of pounds.
