The contents of each murder mystery package vary, but here are just a few of the items included in our past mysteries: skeleton key, FBI serial killer profile, unusual photographs, poker chip with a unique inscription, interviews with witnesses to a tragic event, a red tie used as a murder weapon, diary entries with compelling observations, newspaper clippings, funeral program, champagne flute etched with a message, crime scene evidence, raven feather, cryptic keychain, a matchbook with hidden information, autopsy report with forensic clues, gothic necklace, prescription bottle with a revealing label, dog tags with a compelling clue, and much more.  

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

MURDER MYSTERY IN A BOX is a monthly subscription service that tests your detective skills each month with a new mystery delivered to your door in a mysterious package. We ship a brand new murder mystery during the last week of each month. If you aren't satisfied with your first mystery, we'll refund your money (just let us know within 30 days). PLEASE NOTE:  Our company has a hiring preference for people with disabilities. You may occasionally see a missing letter or transposed characters in an email from us. We thank you in advance for being respectful and courteous in your emails to us. We are proud of our excellent service team!

DOES THE MYSTERY CONTINUE FROM MONTH TO MONTH? 

Each monthly mystery is designed to be enjoyed and solved without any knowledge of our prior mysteries. However, all of our murder mysteries are set in the same fictional towns with recurring characters, locations and storylines that connect all of our mysteries together. The longer you continue with us a member, the more you will learn about the dark secrets and history of our curious cast of characters. 

WHEN WILL MY MYSTERY SHIP?

We ship a new mystery once per month during the last week of each month. If you place your order during the beginning of the month, it won't ship right away and that's perfectly normal. All of our mystery boxes are shipped in one big batch during the last week of each month. 

WHEN WILL MY ACCOUNT BE BILLED EACH MONTH?

Your first murder mystery will be charged immediately upon subscribing. After that, you will be charged when your subscription renews on the last day of the month. You can cancel at any time using your user account on our website.
