How long does delivery take?
UK orders typically dispatch within 1–3 working days from your chosen date. International delivery times vary; please see our Shipping & Delivery page.
Is it personalised?
Yes. We include the recipient’s name within the story world, and a final letter revealing you as the sender (or keep you anonymous—your choice).
What ages are suitable?
Children’s Mysteries are best for ages 7–12 (with help for younger readers). Family and Adult lines scale in difficulty for teens and grown-ups.
Do I need an app or screen?
No screens required. Everything you need arrives by post. Occasionally we include optional web look-ups for extra clues.
