We started by introducing Nate The Great Mystery Books sending them to our grandson in the mail. Then we personalized a letter from Nate The Great telling him pirates would be sending mysteries in the mail. When he finished one he needed to mail a postcard (pre-stamped and addressed) with what he did or liked about the mystery and the pirates would send a new one. After the last one we had a pirate party.
It was a wonderful experience.
I bought this for my 10 yr old grandson’s b-day in November. It seemed just challenging enough that he was able to solve it by himself. He liked it so much that I am getting him The Master Loop as a Xmas gift.
I gave Mail Order Mystery to my grand daughter for her birthday. She has enjoyed throughly. I plan on giving the same Mystery to my other grand daughter for her birthday.
We started the deliveries in coordination with with my son's birthday. His feeling of pride when he opened the treasure was 100% worth it.
My 10 year old twins loved this so much that we ordered another Mail Order Mystery for the holiday. They chose these puzzles over watching TV or using other screens, which is a big compliment. Puzzles were challenging and materials were high quality.
Kept the grandkids engaged and anticipating more clues.
This was a great challenge. As the new clues were revealed more and more family members joined in the search for solutions. Great fun for the entire family and friends. It’s hard to put a price on family fun and bonding this was definitely worth it! BRAVO
Our 10 year old daughter really enjoyed trying to solve all of the clues and challenges. My husband and I as well as her siblings enjoyed helping out and getting in on the action. We ended up ordering another easier one for our younger daughter. My kids are hooked
We got this for our kids last Christmas and it was their absolute favorite! They loved solving every clue and couldn’t wait for the letters to arrive. They were bummed when they were done today because they said they wished they could keep getting clues. Lucky for them I’m getting another set this Christmas! So much fun and I loved working with them on each clue!
This was challenging and fun for l involved - children and parents. The adventure came with some fun gadgets which can be repurposed for further play!
My grandkids absolutely loved this. It was such a great experience for them. Ages 9 and 7 and they did it together with some help from mom :). Was unique and they had so much fun solving and they loved the little treasure at the end!
I love this one and it was really challenging. We did it as a 12 year old and two adults as a holiday activity and we were seriously stumped at parts. It definitely took a lot of thought and it was so much fun. I'm really bummed out that there aren't others like it. I would love if the company came out with more like this! We've already done a few and I'd love more of the challenging ones. I definitely recommend this for family activities. It's not just for the kids!
This was the first mail order mystery we did Comma and we were absolutely hooked. My 12-year-old had fun and so did I. I am glad that we got it as an all-in-one box because we could not stop once we got started!
I got this for my 6-year-old grandson and he loved 'getting things in the mail' and I loved that the mystery story was made up around fictional family characters too! His mom said the 'treasures' were a nice touch too. It was a little over his head at 6 but with mom and dad's help they figured out the mystery. What a delightful idea! Overall we were so happy with it!
What a fantastic resource! We loved our October waiting for these letters to arrive so that we could solve the clues! I highly recommend finding your long lost ancestor. 😊😊
My 9 year old grandson loved trying to solve this mystery! He will be writing Detective Perdu, asking to be put on another case. 😄
Wow, we were blown away by how much research and detail went into this treasure hunt. There were real phone numbers to call, and everything looked so authentic. Our son truly believed he was searching for a treasure!
Fantastic concept for kids to learn to problem solve and to use creativity.
This was a birthday gift for our 11 yr old grandson and he absolutely loved it. His dad helped him a bit and it was a great experience for both of them. If you have a young reader who loves mysteries, this is a great gift.
I sent this to my friend's daughter so I didn't witness the joy. My friend said her daughter screamed with excitement when she received the box. She also said the time to play was just right, not too long or too short. I 'm happy with purchase and will buy another one.
Had this sent to my grandson for his 7th birthday. He absolutely loved it.
He couldn’t wait to get his mail. He never knew it was a birthday gift and that added to the intrigue.
