Give someone a mystery a month. On paper, by mail, sealed until it reaches their mailbox.

A real case file from an earlier month.
Choose a gift, from $11Every Archive is a sealed case file on a real unsolved legend: a researched newspaper that tells the whole story, a Field Kit cipher they crack by hand with a pencil, a postcard from the scene, a collector card, and stickers. Every mailed case also opens in their online Vault, so they can read and play on their phone too.
Order by November 30 and their first file is Archive 005: Krampus, the old world's answer to the naughty list. It mails December 15, in time for the holidays.
