This was purchased for my 9 year old grandson and he LOVED it. His parents were very impressed with it all. So exciting to get something in the mail addressed to him. I have recommended it to my friends and they have climbed on board as well. Thank you for a great product.
I gifted this series to my eight year old son who loves to figure things out. He was amazed at the first letter and loved figuring out all the puzzles. At the end he was so excited he brought it all to school. Well done on this experience and not more ‘stuff’ as gifts!
My great nephew was turning 10 and I felt like he was getting old for toys and he already has every piece of sports equipment known to man. The thought of an experience as opposed to a material gift seemed just the right choice for his age. Nailed it!!! His dad (my nephew) reported that it was a fantastic gift that the whole family was enjoying.
Thanks Mail Order Mystery!

Our 8 year old granddaughter absolutely loved this mystery! She waited anxiously each week for her next letter.
My grandson loved this. Helped him with writing skills also. The whole family loved it
My just turned 11yo daughter received this for her birthday. I did the mail all in one box option and it has worked well for us. I put the next letter in the mailbox every few days when I feel she is ready. It's been tricky a few times, but it's been fun. I think she finally caught on that it was me with envelope #5. (But I didn't confirm or deny. lol) She has loved getting mail, especially from Knights, Trolls and Dragons. We both have enjoyed working on this together. I'll definitely be ordering again.
You were very fast sending it out. Thank you. Can’t wait for Christmas when the first letter is delivered 🎄
We got this for our niece and nephew (9 and 12) and they enjoyed it a ton!
So fun. My bright 10 year old LOVED it. Took 1 month to complete and worth every penny. Getting the others next. 10/10
This was a good experience. Our kids never get mail, so there was a good baseline of excitement about just receiving something. They rushed to the mailbox every day. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials. The types of paper, the fonts and writing styles,a ndt he wax seals ont he envelopes all created an intriguing experience for my daughter. She thought the various personalities introduced were fun to learn about. She liked the trinkets that came along with it. When the book arrived with the final parcel, she sat and read the book cover to cover. I am thrilled with anything that gets her excited about reading. Overall, it was a great experience. I think it would be better to have more interactive elements that actually need to be solved. For instance, the introduction of the replacement cypher was super cool, but she didn’t actually have to solve a cypher to move along in the story. Creating toll gates in the adventure might drive further engagement. This was pricey, but gave my daughter and me a platform to engage with a story in a more immersive way.
My grandson thoroughly enjoyed Escape the Master Loop. We did a good portion of it together, and I enjoyed it as well.
It kept me interested. I was able to solve it. It wasn’t easy but it was fun. The variety of clues and the red herring all added a lot.
I gave Spies, Lies and Serious Bad Guys! to my 10 year old grandson for his birthday. At first it seemed a little overwhelming to him but once he and his mom solved the first step together, he was off! Mom, Dad. little brother and even Grandma put their 2 cents worth in, but in the end, he solved it and loved the challenge!
My 12 year-old granddaughter was immediately caught up in solving “The Case of the Missing Bigfoot” and was proud to show me her critical thinking ability as she matched up evidence with her conclusions. Lots of fun, and it made for a unique gift!
Our Grandson & his Papa loved doing the Mail Order Mystery last year. They got together once a week to solve the mystery.We have one for him this year for Xmas.
9 and 11 year old siblings declared this the best gift ever! Encouraged collaborative, analog problem-solving… really high quality and worth the price.
I ordered this mystery for my Grand daughter for Christmas. Anticipating lots of fun during her school vacation working together to solve the mystery.
We purchased this for our 8 year old granddaughter. It was exciting to check for mail and the weekly letters kept us busy solving riddles and cracking codes. The book at the end of the adventure was fun to read.
We highly recommend this and are looking at others for the future.
My 11 year-old and I loved going through this set together! It was our first Mail Order Mystery, so we weren’t familiar with basic codes like Pigpen. The online hints were really helpful. My son was thrilled to outsmart the bad guys at every turn, and we had a great time working through the clues and encoded messages together. I have recommended this business to friends, and we will definitely be getting a box for future special occasions. This is a fantastic, engaging way to spend some time indoors!
My daughters are 7, 9, and 11 and all three of them loved doing this together.
We left this for four cousins to figure out over a weekend. We had a 6,8,10 and 13 year old doing it together. The 13yr old knew it was from us but the other 3 kids totally believed this as a true mystery and absolutely loved it! We’ll be getting another sometime soon!
They even scrapbooked their adventure, it was so cute!
