Pros
- Sixty Modules In One Bundle: The Everything Bundle covers more than 60 puzzle modules plus Puzzle Book Studio and Time Saver batch creation, with early access to new modules as they ship.
- A Free Demo That Actually Generates: The demo produces real puzzles with a watermark, so the software can be tested on the exact puzzle type you need before any money changes hands.
- Print-Ready Output: Puzzles export as PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG, PowerPoint, JSON and interactive HTML, with interactive PDFs carrying clickable contents and puzzle-to-solution links.
Cons
- Refunds aren't offered on Puzzle Maker Pro or on puzzle content, so run the free demo on the module you actually want before buying rather than afterwards.
- The software is Windows-only and needs Parallels or a virtual machine on a Mac, so confirm the platform before picking between a single module and the bundle.
The Verdict
What sets BookPublisherTools apart is a puzzle generator aimed squarely at people selling puzzle books, rather than a general design tool: BookPublisherTools trades from Friesewal 11A in Zwolle, the Netherlands, with Hans Miedema named as the operator on its contact page and Core Insights given as the parent company in its terms; the domain has been running since April 2018. The product is Puzzle Maker Pro, a modular Windows desktop suite that generates mazes, word searches, sudoku, logic grids and dozens of other puzzle types as print-ready interiors for Kindle Direct Publishing, Etsy and Teachers Pay Teachers, alongside Puzzle Book Studio for assembling the finished book. Around 197 modules are sold, each in a Creative Edition that generates and exports, and a Productivity Edition that adds Time Saver batch creation, interactive HTML output, JSON and Puzzle Book Studio. Pricing works two ways. Individual modules run roughly $27 to $198 depending on the puzzle type and edition, with the Galaxies module at $97 for Creative and $167 for Productivity as a representative example. The Everything Bundle is $97 a month, or $970 a year for Everything Unlimited, which the site presents as twelve months for the price of ten and which adds commercial and reseller rights for finished puzzle products. AI Credits for generating wordlists and themes are sold separately between $17 and $150, at one credit for a word search or crossword wordlist and three for a logic grid theme. The free demo is fully functional with a watermark, and excludes Time Saver and SVG import. The reservations are worth reading before checkout. The purchase-information page states that refunds are not available for Puzzle Maker Pro, puzzle content or PLR products, so the free demo is the only safety net on a purchase that can reach $970. Cancellation mechanics and auto-renewal terms for the monthly bundle are not documented, and there is no dedicated refund policy page. The licence permits selling the puzzles but not redistributing the software, and reseller rights for supplying other publishers attach to the Unlimited tier rather than to one-off modules. Independent verification is thin: the Trustpilot profile has been claimed since February 2022 and still carries no reviews, and there is no G2 or Capterra listing. The About page also carries placeholder text and names that don't match the contact page. Made for Windows users selling puzzle books on KDP, Etsy or Teachers Pay Teachers: Puzzle Maker Pro produces print-ready interiors across dozens of puzzle types, a job few other tools do. The free demo is fully functional, so you can test your exact puzzle type before spending anything. Run the demo, buy the module you tested and explore now.
Puzzle Maker Pro for Print-Ready Puzzle Books
BookPublisherTools operates from Friesewal 11 A, 8011 XE Zwolle, the Netherlands, naming Hans Miedema on its contact page and Core Insights as parent company in its privacy policy and terms; no telephone number is published and the domain was registered in April 2018. The product is Puzzle Maker Pro, a modular Windows desktop suite, listed at version 12.1 and requiring Windows 7 or later, with Mac use needing Parallels or a virtual machine. Support runs through a helpdesk at help.bookpublishertools.com, a Facebook group and a YouTube channel, and payment is taken through FastSpring as merchant of record or by card through Stripe.
Around 197 puzzle modules are sold, each in a Creative Edition covering generation and export to PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF, and a Productivity Edition adding Time Saver batch creation, interactive HTML output, JSON and Puzzle Book Studio. Individual modules run from about $27 to $198 across the store, with the Galaxies module at $97 for Creative and $167 for Productivity. The Everything Bundle is $97 a month for personal, classroom and own-brand publishing use, or $970 a year as Everything Unlimited, presented as twelve months for the price of ten monthly payments, adding commercial and reseller rights for finished puzzle products. AI Credits are sold between $17 and $150, consumed at one credit per word search or crossword wordlist and three per logic grid theme.
Output formats across the suite are PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG, PowerPoint, JSON, interactive HTML and interactive PDF with clickable contents and puzzle-to-solution links, plus puzzle slides and site players where a module supports them; not every output is available on every module. The Everything Bundle is described as covering more than 60 current puzzle modules with early access to new ones. The free demo is fully functional but watermarks its output and excludes Time Saver features and SVG import for Connect the Dots. The licence states that the software is licensed rather than sold and may not be resold, redistributed, shared, sublicensed, repackaged or transferred; reseller rights apply to finished puzzle products only.
The purchase-information page states that for Puzzle Maker Pro, puzzle content and PLR products, refunds are not available, and that refunds may be offered for other products; there is no dedicated refund policy page. The Everything Bundle page says a subscription can be cancelled at any time with no further payments and access continuing to the end of the paid period, but the renewal and cancellation mechanics are not documented. Subscriptions include updates and new modules during the subscription period, while one-off licences cover bug fixes and framework updates rather than new product-specific modules. Independent verification is limited: the Trustpilot profile has been claimed since February 2022 with no reviews recorded, there is no G2 or Capterra listing, and the About page carries placeholder text and staff names that do not match the operator named on the contact page. For puzzle-book sellers on Windows, the watermarked free demo is the way to judge the output before paying: try the module you need and explore now.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this BookPublisherTools review sponsored?
No. BookPublisherTools did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the BookPublisherTools assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Tech?
Everything in Tech sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
