The recipient of this mystery loves it and cannot wait for the next mail delivery!
I purchased this as a gift for a 7 year old and she absolutely loved her. So did her parents as it was a fun activity they could do together.
Our nine year old couldn’t believe she was chosen to help solve such an important mystery! She still needed a little guidance on cracking codes, but it turned into a fun family evening every time a new envelope arrived! We helped her set up her own cork board and white board to “keep track of the evidence”. Loved this product and will likely order another soon to keep the magic going!
I purchased this for my grandson. He has a summer birthday and i thought it would be fun for him. He’s already looking forward to next summer’s mystery.
I ordered the Treasure Hunt for my grandson’s 7th birthday. He was excited to check the mail anticipating his next delivery. He was intrigued to read each letter and questioning his family ancestry. The last installment was the best. Thank you for a fun birthday present with great memories.
I ordered this for my niece and a coworkers son and they both really enjoyed the ciphers and figuring it out. My niece keeps doing pig pen ciphers for various family members and making them solve it. Lol.
My 2 grandsons never leave their devices, but this mystery pulled the younger one away and he was hooked on it. He speculated with great imagination and, tho he didn't solve it, it kept his attention thru the weeks. The gift at the end was great quality and very utilitarian, even for a 9 yr old.
I got this for my 8 year old son. He chose it and loved every single envelope that arrived. We did order the one where we get one envelope delivered every week. Some took a bit longer than others. That was probably a post problem. It just added to the excitement though. I was amazed at the detail of which every letter and code was made. It was truly exceptional to see his mind work through the case. He had me bring down posters from his room and had the wall covered with clues, photos, news paper clippings, codes and finger prints. All we needed to add were red strings. 😆 At the end we found out who the culprit was but before we opened the confession envelope we already had a pretty good idea. Although the butler looked suspicious also and the pirate. Overall we absolutely loved it.
I am a little conflicted on what to say about this mystery. It certainly is well thought out and nicely done!! I received the whole package at once so we could do it over the week the grandkids, who are 8 and 5, were with us. The 8 year old was just too smart in that, right from the first letter, she didn’t think it was real - that it was somehow some sort of scam. How would they know who we are and where we are, et cetera? Also, that first letter really wouldn’t have been enough to carry their interest for another week, so we did the second one several hours later.
Because we didn’t have access to mail where we were, I just slyly put each installment on the door mat outside the front door and we set a timer on the phone that sounded like a doorbell so they’d think someone dropped it off. They were always very excited when the “doorbell" rang! Accompanying the various letters were fun and interesting things such as keys, maps, and ciphers. There sure was lots of excited jumping up and down and wild screaming when the last installment was a package!
The whole Treasure Hunt mystery was very cute and impressively done. That said, I’m not sure the 8 year old would look forward to doing another - though we probably will try another one again next year.
P.S. Hint: you might want to have a keychain of some sort handy for your kids so the tiny keys don't get lost.
My 11 year old loves Escape Rooms and logic puzzles and was able to complete this entirely on her own. This is our second Mail Order Mystery, and we found that for us, it is helpful to get the single box, and have me control distribution. Otherwise, we end up with a chaotic mess and a lot of missing pieces. We love how thoughtfully designed these are, and that everything is high quality. It is pricey, but the value is there.
This was given to my grandson for his 10th birthday. He and his parents and little sister dove right in and loved every moment of trying to solve the mystery. It was just enough challenge for him and the ending was perfect. He’s asked for another one for Christmas. 🥰😊
My daughter loved this mystery. It was the perfect rainy day activity and it was well worth the price. Well done.
My child and I had a fantastic time working through the messages and clues together. At 7 he did need prompting from me for a few of the clues. LOVE the voicemail part… (I hope someone gets to listen to those)! My child took all of this very seriously and still believes he has pirate lineage (which is perfect as he LOVES everything pirates). We will be doing another Mystery for sure!
It was fabulous. The whole experience with my grandmother was wonderful. Thank you.
Grandchildren, ages 8 and 10 were loving this. The three of us enjoyed working on this so much! Each envelope was so much fun for the kids to open. They loved solving the coded messages! Was hoping you had one on the Loch Ness Monster as planning a trip to Scotland next summer.
This is our 2nd year doing mail order mystery. My daughter is 10 she did it with her cousin. We did it together throughout the summer. I would have the letter show up at a campsite, cottage or swimming lessons. The story line is so well done, clever twists and offers fun thinking that isn’t school. Thank you to the creators! Great job!
Bought this for my adult daughter because she moved to a small town that had nothing to do. At first she thought they were easy but each one got progressively harder till she needed help on a few.
She loved them!
He was engaged with every letter. He couldn’t wait to check the mail every day. I can’t wait to order him another one. Great gift idea!
Our kids absolutely loved it. Thank you for creating something so fun that could hold my kids attention.
