Do you suspect your uncle or sister of having a penchant for sordid stories? Is your boyfriend or girlfriend fascinated by serial killers? Besides, you may be tired of watching Scream movies one after the other (1, 2… 15?) and guessing who the killer is from the first few minutes. And now, their birthday is coming up and you still don't have a present. Don't panic, we're going to offer you some ideas for these fans of true crime and crime stories.
1) Detective Box: the gift that puts you in the shoes of a detective
If you are looking for an innovative concept, then you will love the Detective Box experience.
This three-episode investigation game offers total immersion on an American campus shaken by the murder of a student. The goal? Find the murderer using the clues that Agent Sanchez will send you. Nothing better for a crime fiction fan!
Plus, you extend the joy of the birthday: a new box arrives every month for three months when you order the full survey. Don't stop at the first box, otherwise you will most certainly be frustrated...
2) A Netflix subscription: the gift that always pleases
You already know the concept of Netflix . What you may not know is that this video-on-demand platform is full of documentaries about real murder cases and crime stories.
There is even a tab specially dedicated to documentary series inspired by true crimes: Who Killed Malcolm X , the disappearance of Maddie McCann , I Am a Killer ... There's something to entertain your uncle or girlfriend.
3) A poster of the famous Zodiac killer: the gift to display in the toilets
For those on a budget, this original gift will be fascinating. Indeed, the identity of this "Zodiac Killer" from the 1960s remains a total mystery.
While he murders young people within a radius of only 200 kilometers around San Francisco, the police will never be able to detect his identity. However, the assassin never hid. The robot portraits are numerous and precise because he often operated with his face uncovered.
This was not enough to stop this professional serial killer who even had fun provoking the press. They have increasingly difficult coded messages from him insinuating that his identity could be revealed in broad daylight. Unfortunately, his last message has never been decrypted... A poster of this last very famous message is also available! Enough to keep you busy for a long time in your spare time.
4) An escape game on the theme of serial killers: the gift that puts you under tension
A classic, sure to make people happy. Do you know Live Escape Box ?
It is a gift card that offers more than 1800 immersive experiences. Escape games are one of their main activities and some of them immerse you in the theme of crime.
So, go with your boyfriend/girlfriend to look for a missing commissioner in the Cunningham case , bring down the Crime Syndicate with your sister or investigate with your uncle a famous crime from 1992 before the FBI gets there... ( Murder in New Orleans)
5) A Society magazine on Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès: the collector’s gift
Finally, we highly recommend the magazine Society dedicated to the Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès case. This ordinary-looking father is suspected of having killed his wife and four children before disappearing into thin air. This story had unleashed passions in 2011. In 2020, when Society seized on this news story to publish two magazines on the investigation, more than 300,000 copies were sold. Some were even bought second-hand for more than 200 euros per copy.
Will you be the first to grab one of these? They are available on ebay ...
There you go, I hope you found what you were looking for.
Signed Juliette, a passionate person who was given the five gifts
