    Default mystery type games/toys ?

    DD loves things like escape rooms, trivia, decoding clues, scavenger hunts, etc. She prefers to do these kind of things alone or with just 1 other person. I'm looking for a couple fun small presents for the stocking or under the tree as the big gift is done (thanks BBB!)

    These Melissa and Doug Spy, Secrets, & Mystery activity pads are what gave me the idea, they would be great for a younger set, but DD is a teen:

    We have the escape room board game Costco had last year already along with trivial pursuit.

    Any fabulous ideas? TIA!

    We also have some of these type cards if anyone else is looking. DD enjoys:

    How old is she? I just bought two of the Box of Lies game (the Jimmy Fallon one) on Amazon...it's a DOTD at nearly 50% off. I'm keeping one and will gift the other

    My kids love Mail Order Mystery. It’s a subscription so a bit more than I would pay for a stocking stuffer but may be great as a grandparent gift or for the future

    The Mail order mystery spies, lies and bad guys looks great! Reading the description that some adults had trouble with it makes me feel better about it being the right difficulty.

    Box of lies- hysterical, she'll love this. Harder that it will require others to play with, but maybe great for her and DH to play. They will laugh their rears off.

    Thanks!

    Thanks to the loot/crate box subscription thread and the rec from lkarp, I stumbled across these mystery subscriptions:
