What to Expect in Our Solo-Friendly Mystery Boxes

1. Immersive Evidence: Inside each box, you’ll find an array of evidence—from reports, and receipts to photos and real-world objects. These items allow solo sleuths to feel as though they are actively participating in the investigation, like a real investigator.
2. Guided but Open-Ended Exploration: Our mystery boxes are crafted to lead you to pivotal discoveries while leaving room for your own interpretations. Each piece of evidence could hold the key to solving the case, but it’s up to you to determine its significance, spot the red herrings, and connect the clues.
3. Focus on Story and Suspense: The journal’s narrative unfolds gradually, creating suspense as you piece together details about the suspects and events leading up to the crime. The storytelling is paced to engage solo sleuths, with just enough suspense to keep you captivated through every twist and turn.

The Joy of Solving a Mystery On Your Own
Solo mystery-solving allows you to truly immerse yourself in the story, form theories, and make the final decision on who committed the crime—all without interference. It’s a satisfying experience that strengthens your analytical skills and offers the thrill of making each discovery independently.
Tips for Enjoying a Mystery as a Lone Detective

• Take Your Time: Solo solving allows you to move at your own pace, so don’t rush! Savor each piece of evidence, and revisit earlier clues if you need to.
• Create an Atmosphere: Set the mood with dim lighting or a candle to bring out the mystery. Our mysteries are designed to pull you into another world—an ambiance makes it even more exciting.
• Trust Your Instincts: Follow your intuition! If a clue feels important, take note. Trusting your instincts is often the key to unmasking the culprit.
• Keep Notes: With only one detective on the case, taking notes can help you keep track of characters, motives, and your theories as you progress.
