TESTIMONY FROM OUR TOP DETECTIVES

4.8 on 1059 reviews

“Just AMAZING! An investigation written by masters of crime.”

Agent C.L.

“…Better than an escape room because it lasts longer. More addictive than a Netflix series as you’re part of the investigation.”

Agent K.H.

“We started the investigation yesterday as a family. Impossible to put down. I was kept up all night.”

 Agents E.M. & P.A.

“Never has a detective story been so thrilling. Attention to detail is everywhere.”

Agent G.U.

“I’m used to escape rooms so I was worried about getting bored or it being too short…but WOW!” 

Agent A.G.

Perfect for a games night with friends, a date night with your partner or a sleepless night alone.

What is Detective Box?

Detective Box investigation games are at-home, immersive experiences, where you take on the role of a detective in charge of solving a criminal investigation. 

Woodlock University is a three-part investigation that is delivered straight to your door. It contains three boxes with each one acting like a single episode of a true-crime series. In them, you will find physical evidence and documents that are vital for solving the case. It takes two to three hours to work through each box. However, this comes with a binge warning as you’ll probably end up wanting to solve the investigation in one go.

Please note, you will need an internet connection to access our digital portal, which will guide you through your objectives.

How much is delivery and how long does it take?

Delivery to the UK is free (excluding express delivery) when you buy Woodlock University. You will receive a notification about the delivery date as soon as it’s ready.

  • Home delivery: 2-3 working days
  • Express home delivery (+£6.85): 1-2 working days

What's in the boxes?

Detective Box isn’t a board game. Here, you won’t find any playing pieces, cards or dice. You’ll simply receive items relating to the investigation (police reports, physical pieces of evidence, witness statements, etc.) to help you catch the killer. And not to mention, the many twists and turns that will have you questioning your instinct and the truth.

Our digital portal will also allow you to investigate in a more organised fashion by guiding you through your main objectives.
