Description

Scarlet Envelope is a series of Canadian-made mail-in games with an escape room feel. Chapter One includes 13 games (envelopes) full of engaging brainteasers with web & video integrations.

"Newspaper: Introduction to Mysteries" is the first game in the 13 series that gets you familiar with codebreaking and gives you teasers of the storyline-based games ahead of you.

All thirteen can be played separately and in any order but there is one overarching element in the whole series (in each game you search for one hidden letter to collect a password to something in the thirteenth game.)

"Did you know that a Secret Society has been watching you? Now, you’ve been selected for a test. You will receive a Scarlet Envelope full of mysterious items that seem to be from the different worlds...and times. Make sense of all the items and prove yourself worthy of joining this obscure secret society."

“Newspaper: Introduction to Mysteries” envelope includes:
One Cryptic Newspaper
One map
Two posters
Two vintage letters
A mysterious ticket
Videos, audio, and web pages
More than 13 puzzles to solve
