Episode 1 • Family Secrets

Escape Mail is a unique, interactive escape room experience delivered right to your home. It features a 12-episode adventure series designed for 1-4 players aged 10 and up. Each episode takes 1-2 hours to complete and follows a continuous storyline about uncovering hidden family treasures with the help of your long-lost cousin JJ. Through mysterious letters, photos, videos, and website clues, players solve puzzles that promote problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. It's a perfect educational tool for homeschooling families, combining fun and learning seamlessly.

1) Open an envelope and examine the items. Aside from a bit of tape and some scissors, everything you need to get started is inside!

2) Scan the QR code to receive a bit more guidance on how to begin the adventure.

3) Solve the puzzle! If you get stuck the hints are right in the portal.

4) Continue to the next episode, until you reach the grand finale at episode 12.

Yes! We have carefully crafted tiered hints inside the portal, starting from a nudge all the way to a detailed solution for each puzzle. They can all be accessed through the accompanied web app.

We have a few shipping options for every destination, including a free shipping option for anywhere in Canada and the United States. When reaching checkout you will be prompted to select your preferred shipping method. All orders are shipped on the following business day and we ship worldwide!

No. Every episode has its own objective and conclusion (although some episodes have some pretty good cliffhangers), so even a single episode is a great experience, but larger bigger storyline of tracking down you'r family's hidden treasure spans across the full 12 episodes. If you start with just Episode 1 and want to know what happens next, you can continue the adventure starting from Episode 2 with a subscription or 2-12 bundle.

We suggest this game for ages 10+ but you can go younger if you are solving together. All the content is family-friendly and PG. There is no foul language, romance, or drug/alcohol references.

We suggest anywhere from 1-4 players.

• Playing solo: While it is not required to play in a group, if your child is playing solo it can be very challenging, as we have designed the puzzles in each episode in a way that it requires a variety of ways of thinking, so being able to lean on other's perspectives is helpful.

• Playing with more than 4 players: The puzzles in some episodes are quite linear (meaning one puzzle must be solved before the next) and other episode are more non linear (meaning you can have multiple people solving different puzzles simultaneously). You can certainly play with 5-6 players, but be aware that there will be times that it is difficult for everyone to be actively participating.

Most of the game happens right on your table top using the physical assets in your envelope.

There is an online portal which will help guide you through the story by watching the occasional video or chatting with JJ (the fictional cousin character sending you these envelopes)

The online portal is also where you will input your answers and get hints, so an online connected device is necessary to solve each game.

Once you know the answers and how to solve the puzzles it is difficult to be reused. Additionally, most episodes will require you to mark up or alter items in the process of solving, which can make it difficult to reuse. That being said, if you are thoughtful and careful with how you solve each puzzle and use scrap paper instead of marking on the pieces it is possible to preserve the puzzles to be passed on to someone else.
