Be The Detective Mystery Box

Be The Detective sends a realistic mystery in monthly episodes, and you play the investigator. Each episode is a packet of evidence: documents to read closely, puzzles that test your timeline-building, codes and ciphers that unlock hidden content, and clues that lead you to look things up in the real world. Details you note in one episode can be needed to answer questions in a later one, so it pays to keep good case notes. Cases are told over several episodes rather than resolved in a single box. The company's first story, The Dual, follows the disappearance of a college senior in a snowy Vermont town whose body is found weeks later in a frozen lake, a case that was shelved with more questions than answers. Your job across three episodes is to work out what really happened that night. Your first box ships from the United States within one to two business days, and later episodes ship the first week of the month. The seller's note says shipping is added at checkout, although Cratejoy also shows a free-shipping badge, so check the total before you pay. Pay monthly or prepay three, six or twelve months. It is a natural fit for couples' date nights, game nights with friends, and anyone who enjoys true-crime podcasts and wants to try solving a case themselves.
