Publisher summary
Solve a murder mystery using the items inside a mysterious package delivered to your door. Each new murder mystery package is filled with items and clues that you will use to conduct your investigation and catch the killer. Each monthly mystery is designed to be enjoyed and solved without any knowledge of our prior mysteries. However, all of our murder mysteries are set in the same fictional town with recurring characters, locations and storylines that connect all of our mysteries together. The longer you continue with us a member, the more you will learn about the dark secrets and history of Port St. James (or Forrest City) and its curious cast of characters.[1]

- DID YOU KNOW? All of the evidence bags and evidence collection materials in The Raven mystery package were actual, "real-life" crime scene materials. They were obtained by The Mystery Experiences Company from a law enforcement supply company that supplies police departments around the United States. Actual law enforcement items are more costly than facsimiles, but we wanted to provide our subscribers with as real an experience as possible. Stay tuned for future mysteries that will involve additional "real-life" forensic materials.
- DID YOU KNOW? The autopsy report for The Raven mystery package was written by a real-life coroner.
- When did the premium experience version come out?
- There were at least four veiled references to the Archon Genomics mystery in The Raven mystery. Which ones did you spot?
