THIS MONTH’S MYSTERY

Presto!

Be the first to crack the case…

Coming in January: Presto!

Subscriptions taken from December 1 – December 31 at 6PM CST

Summary: Magicians are known for making people disappear, but in most cases, a skilled master of illusion can also make them reappear with no harm done.  The man known as The  Magician who has suddenly burst on to the scene in Valley Falls has been making people disappear one day and then reappear the next day as pale, lifeless corpses.  It’s not enough to simply pull a rabbit out of a hat anymore.  This magician is pulling life from unwilling victims, and it’s up to you to catch this mysterious figure before they perform their next trick.  Perhaps you can perform a trick of your own, investigate the case, wave your hands wildly, and say the word, “Presto!” right before unveiling The Magician, handcuffed and behind bars!

My husband and I tried a few different mystery boxes before choosing one. Out of all of them we LOVED DMS the best. We love how you can solve the mystery with only one box in a few hours. We currently subscribe and have purchase many one time boxes as well! 

EILEEN J.

I love the monthly mystery boxes! It’s so fun to do them with friends or family! They range from bizzare plots to supernatural events, with twists, turns, and delightful puzzles along the way!

APRYL C.

 You’re not just buying a mystery box with Deadbolt Mystery Society, you are getting a full interactive experience! Screw the 5 star rating system, these people deserve the whole galaxy!!! They are amazing!

JACKIE M. 

I have been a subscriber for almost two years and own every box they have ever released, which is coming up on 70 releases pretty soon…so this review is way overdue. I have enjoyed every box and am constantly amazed and impressed at the work that goes into each one
