Let mum investigate this mother's day

Let your mum unleash her inner detective with the gift of true crime.

4 Reasons Why Detective Box is the Perfect Gift for your mum

1. Your Mum Has Always Been a Detective

She always knew when you were lying. She always found that missing sock. And she definitely knew who ate the last cookie. Her intuition is razor-sharp—so why not put it to the ultimate test?

2. She’ll Be Hooked Until She Cracks the Case

This isn’t just a game. It’s an obsession. From the moment she opens the case file, she’ll be drawn into a world of secrets, evidence, and unexpected twists.

3. Hours of Immersive Investigation, at Her Own Pace

No schedules, no deadlines—just hours of immersive entertainment from the comfort of her sofa. With three thrilling episodes, she can spread the investigation over three exciting evenings or dive in all at once—it’s up to her.

4. She Might Let You Help

If you’re lucky, she may recruit you as her assistant detective. But let’s be honest—she’ll probably be the one leading the investigation while you take notes.

Great date night activity

This was so much fun! My partner bought this for our date night and we had the best time trying to crack the case! Would have given it 5* but there were some parts that seemed impossible to get to without the hints. (I hate using the hints as want to get there on our own of course) Losing 1* as some of the instructions weren't very clear. But we got there in the end!! will be recommending to friends for sure! Money well spent. Ready for our next case please!!

part one completed

myself and my partner like to complete these as a date night for a bit of fun. We found this one challenging in a positive way. We enjoyed having to do the extra research etc. the only reason we did not give it a 5 star is because we felt some links are tenuous. Although, we can not wait to go into the next boxes. very well done. will be happy to investigate more stories as they come out.

A great way to spend a few evenings

I really enjoyed this as a concept. It was a really well thought through game and the items and reports provided in the boxes felt very genuine. The real world elements like phone calls, websites and Facebook were particularly impressive. I will be telling all my friends about this and can't wait for the next case!
