We're Puzzle Post – A small (but mighty!) team based in London that makes Puzzle Games Designed to be shared and bring people together. Whether you’re solving clues around the dinner table, racing to unlock a secret message, or trying to outwit your most competitive friend, our games are built for moments that get people talking (and thinking, and laughing- sometimes all at once)! We don’t do boring. We do stories with secrets, clues hidden in menus, and online vaults that won’t open unless you crack the code. Think: escape room meets dinner party meets “wait, what just happened?”. From writing storylines and designing puzzles to testing every clue and sending your game- we do it all ourselves, with a lot of care (and usually a lot of snacks). We’re big on surprises, obsessed with storytelling, and perfectionists about paper stock. Oh, and everything we make is 100% plastic-free and recyclable! You’ll find no plastic, no filler, and no boring bits- just original, immersive games made to surprise, challenge and delight. From birthday gifts, dinner parties, marriage proposals to Christmas morning chaos- we’ve got something for everyone!

Bought the Taskmaster advent calendar…
Bought the Taskmaster advent calendar for my husband. What a blast, we had so much fun trying to work out the clues. Some we managed quite quickly, some took a little longer.
Will definitely be getting another one for next year.

Taskmaster Advent Calendar - winner!
The Taskmaster Advent Calendar is outstanding. (No spoilers.)!I can highly recommend this to fans of the show. Splendid puzzles. Inventive “out of the box” ideas and even interactive tasks! If there is a 2026 edition, I am definitely getting it. It was great fun working out the puzzles with the family. It was rarely just one person solving. Usually a team effort. Great fun.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed completing the Advent Calendar with your family. The team put a lot of time and care into it, so they're so pleased that it translated so well.
Watch this space for volume 2 👀

Very disappointing game
Very disappointing game. Very difficult to follow and once you have worked out the code the endgame is ridiculously underwhelming I would absolutely not recommend!

Poor game.
Poor.
Each number you must find is not in order.
The clues are as useless as the original instructions.
Would not recommend, may just be a bad one of the available as the concept is good.

Each of our games contains an 'order puzzle' which reveals the order in which the answers to the other puzzles should be entered into The Vault.

Got the secret set for christmas, love doing puzzles and escape room type stuff, puzzles are generally good however absolutely full of AI art. it ruins the experience knowing they couldn't be bothered to pay any artists. AI slop

Hi Tom.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the use of AI in The Secret Set.
We have a brilliant in-house product team with backgrounds in graphic design, game design and illustration, who produce lots of original artwork, visuals and designs for our Escape Room Games and other products. We're very proud of the creativity and care that goes into everything they produce.
We do use AI to generate some images and to assist with writing some of the copy within our games. Using AI in these ways helps us to enhance the experience of our games, often allowing us to create a puzzle we otherwise wouldn't be able to, but it doesn't replace the need for original work by our product team and high-quality stock imagery.
All of the gameplay and puzzle design is done without the use of AI and comes from our team's experience and a whole heap of play testing that each game goes through. We don't use AI to create puzzles or design how our products play. We appreciate that there are differing views on the use of AI across all industries - our approach is to use it sparingly to supplement our creative teams' work and to enhance the experience of our games.
I hope this helps to give a bit more context on the ways we do and don't use AI for the creation of our games. If you have any questions, do let me know.
All the best,
Tom
Confession: fantastic Christmas puzzle experience!
We did this as a post Christmas game for family, so much fun! It was five adults; I think it would have been too difficult for children, but it was the right level for us - some parts easier and one part in particular that we had to use the very helpful clues! We enjoyed the story, and were rooting for the characters, but really it was the quality of the puzzle - what a range of ways to discover series of numbers and letters! It took us the first part of an evening and we finished it off the next morning. Will definitely recommend and are already planning on getting another one for the next family get together.

Good product, but needs refining.
Played The Secret Set with my family, was an enjoyable experience and good value for money. Would recommend additional props/puzzles (for more more than 3 players), would also like to have the order of the puzzle on them (e.g. p1.p2 etc) for the code so we are doing it in the correct order order.

Oddly complicated for 2 people
We did the festive confession mystery at home after we have enjoyed a home murder mystery from another brand. We found this one weirdly complicated in odd ways, managed about half of it without clues. Then the clues kinda undid what we did, which made it frustrating and we didn't complete it because it was no longer fun. We're relatively educated folk and enjoyed ones with other brands. But the things inside were presented nicely. Probably better suited to a bigger group, we were just us 2.

What an incomprehensible waste of time
What an incomprehensible waste of time. Everyone decided to give up after 30 minutes so compared to the 90 minutes solution time we at least got an hour of our lives back.

disappointing and no fun
We have bought a few of these puzzles over the years and enjoyed them however our most recent purchase of The Confession was not a good one. The clues are obscure , not enough /good direction to get you going , one clue required sending an email and the email did not work so we could not get the answer .
Also the clues on the Christmas hat were a complete design flaw . All in all a very disappointing experiencing and we will not be wasting money on these puzzles again. It was not a fun experience

Hi Debbie,
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy The Confession and found it difficult to get going with the puzzles. I'm not aware of any issues with the email - it's possible it may have ended up in your spam folder. I'm also not aware of any design issue with the Christmas Hat, so I'm keen to hear any more information you can share about that.

Solid Puzzles, Disappointing AI
Received ‘The Confession’ for Christmas. Big escape room and puzzle fan.
A good mix of easy and difficult puzzles with a nice range of solve styles. Most hint sufficiently at how to find the solutions so if you get them wrong you can easily understand what you’ve missed, but a couple of them really could have multiple answers in the end, which left the group a bit dissatisfied.
The main issue was the really embarrassing use of AI in places, especially for a game where the plot is based around a pantomime. It immediately undermined the puzzles knowing the team were willing to cut corners like that, meaning we went in assuming the worst. Though the puzzles were then better considered than we had worried, it’s still just insulting, especially when it’s not disclosed on the packaging at all.

Really disappointed…
Really disappointed with the crackers we bought which were £25. On the box it said 30 questions inside, but the crackers all had the same questions inside so we were unable to play the game properly and only had 5 questions. On the box it showed different coloured party hats and different questions but this wasn’t the case. Very disappointing especially on Christmas Day.

Hi Laura,
I'm really sorry that you only had one set of questions. Each box of crackers is packed by hand, so occasionally mistakes do occur - although almost never to this extreme. I completely understand the disappointment this would cause on Christmas Day, so I do apologise.
Please do reach out to theteam@puzzlepost.uk so I can do my best to make up for this.
