100 QUEST Color By Number: Squares + Triangles + Hexagons + Circles (BLACK backgrounds): color quest activity book for adults

I bought this thinking it would be a simple colour-by-number book and somehow it turned me into a confident, unstoppable colouring machine. Designs: You start with random shapes and numbers, and suddenly BOOM actual pictures appear. It feels like solving a mystery with felt-tip pens. Variety: The mix of squares, triangles, hexagons, and circles keeps it interesting. No two pages feel the same. Black backgrounds: These make the colours pop like crazy. Even my lazy shading looked intentional and dramatic. Relaxation factor: 10/10. My brain went quiet. My stress left. My responsibilities were ignored (worth it). Paper quality: Thick enough that my pens didn’t bleed through and ruin my masterpieces. Time value: I sat down for “five minutes” and lost an entire evening. No regrets. Overall, this is part puzzle, part art, part therapy. If you want something relaxing, satisfying, and weirdly addictive, this is it.

Colouring squares and triangles has proven to be incredibly satisfying. This activity serves as a fantastic way to unwind after a tiring day spent wrangling a three-year-old and juggling various tasks. The "mystery image" concept introduces a touch of intrigue, making it feel less like tackling a children's activity book and more like revealing some artistic secret (even if the secret does turn out to be a cat). The black backgrounds really make the colours pop, and the combination of simple and more intricate pages allows me to choose something suited to my mood. That being said, there are a couple of minor issues. The numbers are so small that they can be difficult to see, even while using reading glasses, and deciphering certain colour names such as "yellow-orange" can be a little tricky. Additionally, placing a piece of cardboard behind the page is helpful to prevent any marks from transferring onto the next one. It’s an enjoyable and relaxing way to indulge in some creativity.

Saw a recommendation for this on Instagram and thought I'd give it a try - I'm so glad I did! Yes, the pages are thin but anyone who buys colouring books knows to put a sheet of card behind the page before using pens. It's fun to watch the picture spread as you add more colour and try to guess what the picture might be. Highly recommend this as a wind-down activity.

Good item though have trouble seeing the numbers. Print is very pale and the numbers are very small but very enjoyable. best to use pencils rather than felt tips as it comes through to the other side. Lots of fun. Good value for money

Like other reviews have mentioned, the black makes colours pop. The mystery element does add a lot of fun which I've enjoyed. One small problem is one of the pictures doesn't have the colours to use, saying that - I think I've been able to figure out the colours to use. I've become slightly addicted to this book and looking to purchase the animals one next.

Great book keeps my busy for hours

Great in theory but the outlines are very dark and it got quite frustrating to color in. The paper is also very thin, and although you only color on one page, the other page has the color key which ends up being hard to see if you color the previous page

Wow, so many different pictures. The numbers can appear small but I don't mind. Didn't realise it had 22 different colours so ive gone through alot of pens. Wanting a Disney version if ever find one as good as this. Had it a month and I'm about half way through it. Can't put it down
