Questions
Are envelopes included?
No. Every kit is a digital PDF. It includes printable labels for six envelopes; you stick them on six envelopes of your own. Any standard letter envelope works.

One PDF of 15 to 18 pages: a cover, a How to play page, six envelope labels, five puzzles with How to solve boxes, the final solution, 15 hint cards and a host answer key.
What do I need?
A printer (black and white is fine), US Letter paper (on A4, choose “Fit to page”), six envelopes, scissors, a pencil and about 10 minutes to set up.
How do I download it?
After checkout on Etsy, sign in at etsy.com in a web browser, go to You → Purchases and click Download Files. The Etsy phone app can't download files.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes, for your own household, party or classroom. Please don't resell or share the file.
Can we play from a screen?
The kits are made to be printed: you'll cut out labels and hint cards and write answers on the pages.
What if we get stuck?
Each puzzle has three hint cards, from a nudge to the answer, and the host's answer key explains every step.
