“I’ve played a few Deadbolt Mystery Society boxes before, and Down the Rabbit Hole is definitely one of my favorites so far. The story pulls you in right away — dark, a little quirky, and just the right level of weird. It’s packed with puzzles that really make you think, and I liked that there was a good mix of logic-based clues and creative problem-solving. Some parts had me stumped for a bit, but not in a frustrating way — more like in a “I need to take a break and come back with fresh eyes” kind of way.

I played this one solo, but I could easily see it being a fun group activity too. Everything in the box felt high quality, from the design of the documents to how the story unfolded. It took me about 2.5 hours to finish, and the payoff at the end felt earned. Definitely a satisfying experience if you like a mental challenge and immersive storytelling.” – Sean B.

STEP INTO A MYSTERY – Inside the mystery, participants will read a Beginning Brief and then examine multiple documents of varying type and size. It is then up to participants to recognize clues, connect-the-dots, solve puzzles, and progress through solving the mystery.

INTERACTIVE MYSTERY COMPONENTS – Utilizing the use of QR codes, as puzzles are solved and evidence is gathered, participants will unlock password-protected QR codes that will advance the storyline and provide more information for the investigation. Some unlocked QR codes may even instruct participants to open sealed envelopes furthering the investigation. The use of password-protected files also helps keep from spoiling the mystery for participants, if information gathered is incorrect.
