5 stars out of 5Exceptional and higher quality than most mystery puzzlers
Excellent surprising at-home mystery! I've purchased many products from the Mysterious Package Company and they are all exceptionally high-quality with progressively challenging puzzles and online hint support. This oversizedpop-up book turns into a mansion which supplies clues and interactive puzzles. Played with an extensive accompanying dossier, this puzzle can then be reset and paid forward. I cannot recommend this enough.

5 stars out of 5Great gift for mystery enthusiast!
Purchased this as a gift for family that enjoys many mystery games(exit, escape rooms, etc) this added a unique element to the mystery with the puzzle build, both adding to and extending the fun. They already requested more like this :)

5 stars out of 5Puzzle meets murder mystery
I love puzzles and enjoy putting them together! When I came upon this "Murdle in the hedge maze" puzzle I got intrigued and had to get it! The puzzle comes in a cute box and inside the box you can read the story introduction as well as a well written instruction on how to go about solving the murder! If you get stuck then there's an envelope that says "clue" and has the picture of the puzzle!

5 stars out of 5Great problem-solving fun in a whimsical fairy-tale world
My mom and I love puzzles, board and card games, but neither of us knew what to expect when she opened a few of these up on Christmas morning. We were both very surprised, in a very positive way. We worked through the first mystery over the next few days, spending maybe 30 minutes to an hour at a time, and although we've not started the second one yet, neither of us can wait to dig into it! The mystery comes with a picture of the crime scene, a map, suspect interviews, a newspaper, a letter (sealed with wax), and adventure cards that represent destinations that you will explore to look for clues. The experience is interactive - you will need to log on to a special website to guide you through your journey - but still hands-on enough to feel like a game or puzzle. All of this takes place in a whimsically dark fairy tale world where you will encounter plenty of familiar characters and lots of jaunty wordplay as well. On top of that, the website features a soundtrack and voiceovers to enhance the experience. We certainly had more than a few "moments of delight and adventure," as the designers put it - actually, we were given several hours worth of just those kinds of moments. The puzzles and brain-teasers included on this journey were not too easy, but not exasperatingly difficult either. We only had to use the hints on the site once, so there was just the right amount of challenge. And when we finished, we gave each other a big high-five, filled with satisfaction - yet at the same time, hungry for more. PS, we'd love to see more games with Little Red!

5 stars out of 5ONE OF A KIND - BEST CO-OP Mystery / Puzzle solving games!
These games are ONE of a kind games that bring you back in time to solve multiple in-depth puzzles. The game starts off with a letter to give you a little back story and then you are diving right in. The packaging, props, and attention to detail is out of this world. There are not many instructions because even figuring out what goes together is a mini puzzle. The game creators do a great job with a variety of puzzles, that no matter who is puzzling with you, they will be able to help and not one person will run the show! Hours of fun, with a very helpful online companion site, to check answers, receive hints and also see how the story ends! 10/10 highly recommend for seasoned gaming groups, or a one off holiday game night with friends / family!

5 stars out of 5Great idea for a group
I bought this mystery game for us to do with the family over Christmas. My grown kids don't have much to do in our very small town, and it's not like I can arrange play dates anymore!! Everyone really got into the story, and it really needed all of us to solve. I'll absolutely purchase another for our holiday next year.
