FAQ
Questions before you open the case?
Here are the basics on formats, bundles, shipping, and what makes these puzzle books different.
Are these regular word search books?
They use the word search format you already know, but the puzzles connect to a mystery. The clues build across the book or series.
What is the difference between Case Files and Puzzle Mysteries?
Case Files are grid-forward puzzle books with light case material around the puzzles. Puzzle Mysteries are story-forward whodunits with a word search in every chapter.
Should I start with Volume 1?
Yes. If a series is numbered, start with Volume 1. The later books are designed to reward people following the case in order.
How long do paperbacks take to ship?
Paperbacks are printed to order and usually ship in 2-3 weeks. Tracking is sent when the printer ships your package.
Are signed copies available?
Signed copies are not offered at launch. If that changes, Decode Club subscribers will hear first.
