You know I love a good mystery…Criminal Minds, 48-hour Mysteries, and books so creepy I can’t read them before bed. The Deadbolt Mystery Society are mystery boxes that let you solve crimes. They are the perfect way to spend a night with your family.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THE DEADBOLT MYSTERY SOCIETY
I love that these boxes have something for everyone…clues hidden in letters or notes, puzzles, and internet activities. They even give you the difficulty level (example: 7/10) so you know ahead of time how hard it is. They are hard enough that you may even have to use some hints.
I also appreciate that you can purchase a one-time box. These could be perfect for birthday parties, sleepovers, date night, girls’ night, or something to do on your own. This would make a wonderful gift!
WHAT COMES IN EACH BOX?
SO MUCH stuff to help you solve your mystery. Everything looks authentic and you’ll feel like you are actually solving a mystery! Each box starts with a Beginning Brief, that describes the task and tells you the backstory.
The boxes themselves are stunning and remind me of the cover of a good book.
WHAT MYSTERIES DID WE GET?
WARNING…ALTHOUGH I WOULD NEVER REVEAL THE SOLUTION, THIS WILL CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS ABOUT WHAT IS IN EACH BOX!
THE INHERITANCE
($24.99)
The McClains are one of the oldest and richest families in Valley Falls. Edison was planning on naming his heir and the next head of the family. So, he called together all of the McClains and proposed a game as a last test to see the worthiness of those he deemed had potential. But someone in the family had other ideas. During the family get-together, the McClain’s oldest and most prized possession, a medallion bearing the household’s coat of arms, was stolen. This 500-year-old family heirloom is believed by the family to be the reason for their wealth and success throughout the years. Without the medallion Edison can’t name his heir, and he fears the family will fall into ruin. Will you be able to find the thief and the medallion? Can you recover The Inheritance?

Recluse mystery novelist, Rosemary Clark had been writing her final novel, entitled “The Dark and Stormy Night.” To celebrate the completion of the book, Ms. Clark invited a small group of her closest friends and associates to Winterwood Manor with the tantalizing revelation that she had featured all of them as characters in the novel. During the night, Rosemary goes missing. All that’s left where she was standing are a few spatters of blood. Now, you are here at Winterwood Manor tasked with solving the type of serpentine mystery that Rosemary Clark was known for.
