The Bookhouse Institute is a cultural organisation dedicated to the creation and preservation of unique books, puzzles and treasure hunts.

Part studio, part library and part archive, the Bookhouse Institute publishes mass and limited edition books and artefacts that exist to preserve the playful spirit of curiosity, and surprise, delight and endure.

We publish these books when they’re ready. Add yourself to our waiting list and we’ll let you know when the next one happens. Before we tell anybody else.

The Bookhouse

The Bookhouse is a coffee house in the town of Twin Peaks that served as the headquarters for the Bookhouse Boys. Previous to that, it was a library.

The Bookhouse Boys

The Bookhouse Boys are a secret society formed to combat the darkness surrounding the town of Twin Peaks.

Twin Peaks

Cult TV show from the 90s that had a resurgence in 2017. It's also a place both wonderful and strange.

The ‘we’ at the Bookhouse Institute is, in fact, an ‘I’.

This website and all that is contained within it is the brain-wrong of just one person. He creates all the treasure hunts, games and puzzles, designs the merch, writes all the words, makes all the images, sells all the things, manages the site, and answers all your questions. He is very tired.

Get in touch if you need to chat.

There are clues everywhere — all around us. But the puzzle maker is clever. The clues, although surrounding us, are somehow mistaken for something else.
