It all starts with an unexpected letter from the Custodian of Unsolved Mysteries.
You have been nominated to help investigate one of our mysteries.
You will receive a series of artefacts and documents to examine.
If you choose to help, break the seal on the black envelope and commence your investigation.
The investigation begins…
Your detective discovers that a Professor of Egyptology has been requested to lead a team of explorers into a remote location.
They must find the whereabouts of a hidden Tomb, uncover secret rooms, lost treasures and help the Professor find the hidden charms to lift the Pharaoh’s curse.
The Four mailings contain:
Genuine Egyptian papyrus, a stone with a strange symbol carved across the surface, two Egyptian charms, an old photograph, several pages from the professor’s diary, cyphers and codes, notes from the archive, correspondence from the professor’s assistant and a doctor in Cairo, an old weathered map, letters from the archive, an ancient diagram of the labyrinth inside the tomb, and a newspaper articles that bring an enlightening insight.
• A final letter ending the Mystery, concluding the case and revealing the nominator. (You can choose to reveal the nominator at the start)
Absolutely fabulous, ordered the Pharaoh's curse for my 9 year old and she has loved it. It's so exciting for her to received the post, and she is able to do most of it by herself. Have now ordered the Atlantis one, and Raven has kindly agreed to adjust the letters to make it a continuation. Strongly recommend this for any kid who loves a mystery and puzzle.

Pharaoh's Curse was a hit
I ordered this as a gift for my grandchildren aged 8 and 10 as one of them had been working on a school topic about Egypt.The mailing was very quick and the children were engaged immediately.

Grandddaughter’s break from the computer
My granddaughter really enjoyed this. Part of the pleasure was in waiting for the weekly mail and also that she could involve her parents in solving the mystery. A very welcome break from electronic devices!

Mysterious Mail for Kids
My 9 year old son loved this-so nice to have an activity that is not screen based, especially during lockdown! Good quality materials (though a few spelling mistakes if I were to be picky) and a couple of the tasks could have been extended to make them last longer. Price a little steep for what it is, but such a good idea that I would definitely recommend and look forward to when the next Mysterious Mail is available.

Brilliant idea
Brilliant idea. It cheered my daughter up during lockdown. She really enjoyed receiving the letters in the post and spent hours going through the material looking for clues. Definitely recommend
