Our granddaughter and parents loved it!! Fun challenge for a ten year old who was very determined to solve it!
My granddaughter loved it… along with “grandma” finished it up ahead of schedule as they were having so much fun! The only complaint is the secret gift whoopie cushion popped immediately… I think we got a faulty one. We will do this again!
This is the second time I've purchased a Mail Order Mystery for my granddaughter. They are fun & she really looks forward it. I do feel they are a little pricey but they give me inspiration and then I add things to it to prolong the fun.
The whole experience was great! Our twins were super excited to crack the codes. They are eight, so needed help reading all the letters.
Both my grandchildren loved it! So fun to watch their thinking when trying to solve the mystery together. I will try another Mail Order Mystery for them in the future!
My grandchildren were excited to find out that one of their ancestors was a pirate. They were too young to be able to figure the codes out alone but enjoyed discussing whether the characters in the story were “good guys or not “. They were so excited to receive the treasure chest and were happy with their treasure.
To help with the boredom of staying home for the summer I bought this for my middle schooler. She loved and was very eager to get the next envelope. Very creative. Worth every penny!
I had ten days with my three grandchildren.. two were siblings one was visiting.. ages 5,6 and 8.. I put out letters from the hunt every two days or so.. during slow times of the day.. They loved the mystery hunt.. I had them all around where they live looking for clues.. helping decode the secret code the pirates use.. reading whole newsletter and doing puzzle.. it was a true success.. plus one of the pirates names was a surname in our family so they really thought it was real.. On the airplane returning home with one of the grandchildren .. she asked “Gama, did you remember to split up the treasure so I could have some?” I said “oh gosh, I forgot.. but you already have a treasure chest with gold coins and jewels..” “Gama.. that’s fake.. this is real!!!”
The grandkids loved the story and eagerly awaited the next letter every week.
My 8 year old son loved this! He couldn’t wait to check the mailbox every week. The puzzles were fun for him, and he was making predications about which characters he could and could not trust. He was invested all 6 weeks and said it was the best gift.
11 yr old loved it. Didn't reveal who it was from so it was even more of a mystery. She religiously check mail for hints. completed it herself. So much fun!
My son loved this! The only challenge - it was so real he thought he truly became a detective! An excellent activity - I’d recommend the weekly installments since my favorite part was watching his pure joy when he found the next letter in the mail!
Thanks for the fun - we will consider other mail order mystery options!
My grandkids love. Got them spies last summer. This summer pirates. Something to keep them thinking while on school break.
I got this for my 12 year-old’s birthday. He and his brother have had the most amazing time solving the puzzle so much fun I highly recommend it.
I got it for my great niece & nephew who absolutely loved it!
Our grand kids had a blast working through the pirate treasure mystery. They were thinking about it through the week and excited for each new installment. They especially were thrilled to find the treasure and examine all the contents.
I bought this for my grandson who just turned six. The company is correct that the reading level is 8 and up and 6 to 7 would need help...and he loved it!
He was over the moon with excitement and so thrilled to see his name in print! His imagination went into overdrive as he bought into the story and added his own imaginative details. I paraphrased a lot of the writing for him but we saved the whole kit as I know he will love to read the materials himself as his reading skills develop.
A very worthwhile gift! Wonderful - I wish there were more for his age range. I will also say I had a few questions before I bought, that I submitted to the company and they were very prompt with replies.
A Canadian Company - keep it going!!!
My four nephews, ages 9-12, loved their Mystery puzzles, which I sent them for their birthdays. The younger boys engaged an older sibling when they hit a snag and all thoroughly enjoyed solving the mysteries. I will be buying another one for my niece when her birthday arrives on the fall. Thanks for a great birthday gift idea. I don’t think I’ll be able to top this one!
My 8 and 6 year old boys LOVED this and are constantly still checking the mail for more letters! I look forward to doing another one later this summer!
My daughter LOVED this mystery. It was just the right amount of hard.
