Mystery Letters are interactive stories delivered by email. Each story is based on a tale, folklore element, or historical event from Nova Scotia. Beyond having fun solving the puzzles, the goal of these Mystery Letters is to learn while playing. All stories are inspired by real facts or tales from Nova Scotia's local folklore. Thus, these games help foster attachment to the local territory and create beautiful memories connected to iconic places in Nova Scotia. Each game comes with a guide that provides additional information about real elements of the story. It is therefore recommended to conclude the game on this educational note.
The puzzles in the Mystery Letters vary in difficulty and can suit children of different ages. Recommended ages are indicated on the game pages. The puzzles are designed to challenge players or allow children to play together or with adult assistance (who can read the Solutions book that comes with the game). These games also serve as an invitation to enjoy simple family time together around a game.
