The Mystery Agency is a brand new collection of mystery puzzle experiences. You receive a package containing artefacts, documents and puzzles which you use examine and decipher to piece together the story and solve the mystery.
For UK deliveries, estimated delivery is three to five working days. International orders will be processed in the same time, though shipping time may vary.
When your mystery is on its way, you will receive a Shipping Notification from Sunbury (our logistics company) or Transglobalexpress (our transportation company).
Orders of a single item will be sent directly in their sealed box to avoid excess packaging. The print of the box will be visible through the shrinkwrap.
Orders with multiple items are usually shipped in a plain cardboard box.

The contents of each mystery box is different but every box contains themed documents and physical objects, a series of 15-20 interconnected puzzles, tasks and challenges which must be solved in order to unravel the mystery.
