  • Can you send the letters through email?
    No, our quests are designed to be done off-screen. We believe there is a value in spending time away from our mobile phones and PCs sometimes and therefore we will only send these quests in physical format, through old-fashioned post.
  • Is there a minimum age to participate?
    Our standard quests are designed for people of 16 years or older. Quests for kids are personalized to the age of the child participating.
  • What happens if I get stuck?
    You can always reach out to us through our contact form in case you need support or help with your quest.
  • What is different in this service versus other similar ones?
    While we don't want to talk about other services, we believe Mailbox Quest is unique for a number of reasons: - Our quests are fully personalized. This is no mass production and each letter is written specifically for you. - Most similar services focus purely on crimes. While we have a murder quest available as well (we know everyone loves a good ficticious crime), most of our quests focus on more positive topics. We believe there is mystery to be found everywhere. - We care deeply about the planet and each quest you complete plants a tree. This way we take care of the future of our planet while having fun.
  • What will be in my envelope?
    Each envelope will contain a letter from your contact person. Aside from the letter, the content will be different, depending on each quest and each stage of the story. These could be other letters, documents, photographs, objects etc.
  • What is personalized about the letters?
    Each letter is handwritten and directed to you. You will be able to ask questions that will be answered in your letters. Some puzzles, clues or other documents will be personalized to your likes.
  • Why do you need my home address?
    The letters are actual letters, they will be sent by post to your home so you can work on the documents.
  • Why are you asking personal preferences (color, things I like)?
    All letters are personalized just for you. In this personalization we will take your preferences into consideration. Some puzzles may also be personalized to your tastes. ​
  • What will you do with my address?
    Your address will be stored in our database. It will not be used for any other reasons, nor will it be shared with any third parties.
  • What happens if I move?
    No problem, just give us your new address and any future envelopes will be sent to your new address.
  • What if I'm not home when my letter is delivered?
    All our letters are sent in standard, mailbox sized envelopes so they should fit just fine.
  • Which difficulty level should I select?
    There are three difficulty levels: Relaxed Each letter has many clues and instructions. This is recommended for people who have never done an escape room or similar activities Challenging Each letter has clues but they are not extremely evident Extreme For those of you that are experts in escape rooms and really want to spend time inspecting each letter for clues. Very few hints are available in the letters
  • What if I selected a difficulty level but when completing the quests I notice it's not the right one?
    No problem! Since each letter is prepared especially for you, we can adjust the difficulty level in each letter. When you complete a letter you can indicate whether the difficulty was right or not, and we will adapt accordingly
  • Why do you plant trees?
    We care about sustainability. Our quests are mailed and sent on paper. We compensate for this by planting a tree for each quest you solve. By participating in these quests, you will collaborate to a better future.
  • Can I give this to someone else?
    Yes, we can prepare a gift certificate for the person to choose which quest they would like to do.
