Solving puzzles to solve crime
Northern Ireland Crimestoppers have found an interesting new way of publicising the Crimestoppers hotline.
Northern Ireland Crimestoppers launched an imaginative campaign to raise awareness of the hotline number through adapting the popular Sudoku puzzle. A competition was run in partnership with the Alpha Newspaper Group and readers were asked to use the digits contained within the 0800 555 111 telephone number to complete a Sudoku grid for the chance to win an iPod touch.
Susan Brew, Crimestoppers' Regional Manager for Northern Ireland said: “Regular Sudoku players would probably find it easier than their normal level but the competition was designed to encourage everyone to join in. I know how popular these types of puzzles are but readers can rest assured the Crimestoppers Soduku is aimed for all abilities.”
