Can you work out what happened to your friend Lucy? Puzzle Post Mystery arrives as a letter in the mail, and it plays like an escape room in an envelope.
Lucy Kingston was on a conference tour of Europe. After telling a journalist some uncomfortable truths, she found herself tangled in a story of lies and corruption, and had to cut her trip short and go into hiding. Afraid her message would be intercepted, she stashed it in an online vault and built a case of puzzles from items she picked up along the way.
Unlike the rest of the lineup, this isn't a game you play in one sitting around a table. It's a single case, working out where Lucy went, and it unfolds over however long it takes you to get through the puzzles inside it. As you solve them you'll get a code, which you enter into an online vault to unlock and reveal her hidden message. It's a one-off experience rather than something you replay.
Lucy's story runs through Europe, so if travel-friendly games are your thing, see our take on traveling with board games.
Q: What is Puzzle Post Mystery?
A: Puzzle Post Mystery is a mail-delivered puzzle case, not a traditional board game, closer to an escape room at home than a game-night pick. You get a physical letter with clues to work out what happened to a character named Lucy Kingston, solving a set of puzzles built around items she hid along the way. It's made by Puzzle Post.
Q: Is Puzzle Post Mystery a subscription or a one-time purchase?
