The public mystery is free. Optional private experiences like this one cost extra. Nothing in the public game needs them: no chapter, door, shop reward or ending is held back for anyone who doesn't book.

How the gift works

  1. 1A cream envelope with a red wax seal on wet red brick.
    You tell me who it's for and a few true things about them.Where you met, a nickname, the thing they always order. Whatever's true and fun.
  2. 2A brass key on a worn leather ledger beside a brass lantern.
    I write them into the clues.Their name goes on the case they open, and the last clue is one I write just for them.
  3. 3Inside an old shop: wooden shelves of jars and goods and a long wooden counter.
    The final door is a real shop where your gift waits behind the counter.You drop the gift off with the shop beforehand, or buy it right there. I set it up with the shop first.
