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.
