Every game is a stand-alone puzzle experience. What all games have in common, is that there’s a mysterious story that you have to unravel by solving a great variety of puzzles. Sometimes the games are based on true stories and sometimes they’re completely fictional.
During renovation works, a time capsule from the early 16th century was discovered. It contains notes and reports on a strange phenomenon that brought the mayor of the city where it took place, close to despair. Out of the blue, hundreds of people started dancing in the streets and for some reason, they seemed unable to stop. The city’s wisest scholars have scribbled their theories of the event on notes, before they fell victim to this mania themselves.
Now, more than 500 years later, the mystery still hasn’t been solved and a local museum is calling for help from the public in discovering what really happened. Will you be one of the volunteers to help decipher the notes and trace back what put in motion the chain of events that lead to the dancing mania?
About 25 years ago, a well-known adventurer named Oghrin was the last known person to set foot on Stymphalia, the most western of the Puffin islands. People say he went looking for an extremely rare and precious artifact, but as with all people traveling to Stymphalia, Oghrin never returned.
As an adventurer in a world called Asnia, you’re always looking for ways to make some coin. It seems to be your lucky day, when you stumble upon an old, handwritten note by Oghrin himself.
The Mystery Story Puzzle Games are designed with a wide audience in mind. The difficulty level can best be described as intermediate, although individual puzzles can sometimes vary from easy to hard. There’s no emphasis on a specific type of puzzle, but a healthy mix of all sorts.
What it looks like
The Mystery Story Puzzle Games are in the format of a magazine (A4). They’re perfect to play at home on a rainy day or to bring along on a long trip in the bus, train or plane.
All pages are full-color and professionally printed on ecological paper made from agricultural waste instead of wood fibers. This paper has a CO2 footprint that's even lower than recycled paper.
Only the cover pages are made of thicker, more durable material so that it's protected from scratches and water.
What others say
“This game holds a nice place in the middle of the pack for toughness, a top spot for portability and offline play, and works as a nice, casual, fun-filled puzzle game!”
“This has so much potential to become a must-have for escape room fans. Almost like becoming a staple like EXIT, Unlock and pocket escape.”
“Nothing is superfluous in this booklet – every page is necessary to solving each of the puzzles. It still leans more on the puzzle aspect than the story, but does a hell of a better job than most other puzzle books.”
★★★★★
Wanted to throw our computers when we discovered the answers to some of the puzzles, but that’s a sign of a good experience to me! Otherwise was so much fun. Can’t wait for the next one!!

A fun game to play with your significant other, friends or even solo! It had a good variety of puzzles with different difficulty levels. We had hours of fun trying to decipher and get good scores on the scoreboard! The storyline was original and immersive. We had a great night playing this.
★★★★★
We loved it so much that we bought the ‘real’ experience and then spent the rest of the night playing that (took around 3 hours).
★★★★★
The quality of the booklet is superb. The cover is what feels like a linen finish, and the pages are thick enough to endure a thorough thumbing. [...] There’s a great mix of creative puzzles here. You can expect a mix of deciphering, pathfinding, deduction, wordplay and searching. What I really liked was some of the finial solves in Chapter I continued into future chapters to enhance the solution further.
★★★★★
Just finish the First Trial. My brother and i was playing together and we actually love it. Never thought my brother would be so good at this XD
★★★★★
I bought and played this in April, it was quite fun! The closest equivalent would be the EXIT games, but this had much more of a story and dialogue. Would definitely recommend!
★★★★
I enjoyed how Wacky Wheels was able to create a distinction between the five experts’ personalities in the short puzzles presented by each. Many of the pages were presented in a style that we come to expect from a document of this era – illuminated letters and woodcut-style images specifically. And I can’t speak highly enough of the sheer size of the book: printed on A4 paper, it’s the most shareable puzzle book I’ve played.

This is THE GAME to play at home with friends, partner or alone! This game gets you immersed with its story and the overall feel. NO stress of any timer or rivalry between players. Together with the character of the game and the players at home, you decide if you complete it in one go or spread it over several days/sessions. Together you will complete the story!

We haven’t done any puzzle game like this before, but it was so much fun doing it! Nice on the couch, with a glass of wine and solving puzzles together. The booklet is of good quality and the online scorecard works very well and simply.
