We’re Back and Ready to Ship Mysteries!
We have great news for squirrelly kids, exasperated parents and distance-discouraged grandparents, uncles and aunts. Mail Order Mystery is back in business! After closing our doors for two months to protect the health and safety of our employees, all of our mysteries are in stock and available. We are, of course, proceeding with caution. Workplaces have changed and so has the world.

COVID-19 Update: Mail Order Mystery Temporarily Closed for Business
Mail Order Mystery is located in the Canadian province of Ontario, which is doing what it can to help check the spread of COVID-19 by shutting down all non-essential businesses. Though your kids may disagree, Mail Order Mystery is not an essential business. So we have temporarily closed up shop and suspended sales until further notice. With the situation around COVID-19 so uncertain, we are unable to predict when we may be able to operate again. Please make sure to sign up for our newsletter so we can let you know as soon as we have any information about when...

COVID-19 Update: We have temporarily stopped accepting new orders
With the situation around COVID-19 changing rapidly we have made the difficult decision to temporarily stop accepting new orders.

Mail Order Mysteries are a great way to bring adventure and excitement into your home at a time when everyone...

Mail Order Mysteries could be a great way to keep kids entertained, and to bring some adventure and excitement into your home at a time when everyone could use a bit of fun. But with the world in crisis, we don’t know what’s going to happen in the next 24 hours, let alone the next six weeks. So we are concerned about sending out weekly letters and having the clues arrive out of order if...

Give Your Kids a (Spring) Break with a Mail Order Mystery
Of all the “holidays”, spring break is the one we are always least prepared for. During the winter break we can send the kids off to play with their new toys. During the summer we can send them outside. But spring break is never quite enough spring or enough break. It is just long enough, though, for everyone to get good and squirrelly. A Mail Order Mystery is a great way to take the edge off the spring break breakdown. If you choose the “All in One Box” shipping method on our website you can order all six of your mystery installments packed...
