The Shackleton Series is a 6-episode puzzle game that blends escape rooms and board games with historical fiction. In this interactive puzzle adventure you will join Ernest Shackleton's crew to solve your way through the shocking true story of how 28 men were stranded in Antarctica for two years – and all made it home alive.

Although Cousin JJ does make an appearance in this series, it is a separate story from the 12-episode Family Secrets Series.

YOU DON’T NEED TO GO OUT TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE.

EACH ENVELOPE COMES PACKED WITH ALL THE EXCITEMENT, SUSPENSE, ACTION AND MYSTERY OF AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT OUT.

There are a few differences between Shackleton and Family Secrets.

Shackleton is a 6 episode true story. Family Secrets is a 12 episode fictional story.

In Shackleton, digital usage is optional and sparse whereas in Family Secrets an internet connected device is required and used frequently.

Shackleton is our later work, which means overall presentation is more robust. Players say we "levelled up" as creatives haha! Moreover, there is a consistent structure and difficulty level across the episodes.

You can play Escape Mail almost anywhere as an exciting, unexpected and engaging activity for families, friends or couples. The Shackleton Series in particular appeals to those wanting a challenging puzzle to solve set in the context of a true story. Think: family games night or date night for puzzle solvers and history lovers.

Escape Mail is always a family friendly adventure (all content is PG). The difficulty of this series of Escape Mail is suitable for anyone 12 years or older, but playing with an adult is recommended for anyone under the age of 14. As long as you're a strong reader, you can play!

We've included a Flow Card in Episode 1 (and all episodes). Unless you have solved many escape room games before, or you're eager for an intense challenge, we recommend starting with the Flow Card.

You can always access multiple hints on the web app (and/or the solution) with every puzzle along the way.

Everything you need to solve the entire series is included in your envelope, with the exception of a pencil and scrap paper (with optional use of an internet-connected device for hints, answer checker, etc.). Unlike the Family Secrets Series, there is no tape or scissors required.

Escape Mail games are just different. There's no doubt about it. Just ask Nicholas L who said, "I’m not someone who normally would have chosen an escape room style game; but it has been so much fun trying something new with my wife."

What do people love about Escape Mail?

The Running Storyline: You can lose yourself in this true-story adventure as each episode connects to the one before it, including plots twists, clever connections, and a meta puzzle for every episode!

Variety of Puzzles: When you play Escape Mail you realize no two episodes are alike. Every theme is different and every puzzle we approach from a new angle to keep it fresh for you.

Quality Elements: Our games are immersive, tactile & durable. This series in particular we increased the production value both to wow you, as well as to ensure it is replayable by others after you.

Challenging & Satisfying: By the end of an Escape Mail episode, you have a real sense of achievement and accomplishment. The episode concludes with a phrase that makes sense of the voyage up to that point in time. The entire series also culminates in a final puzzle as well, which we call the Epilogue. It is essentially a Meta-Meta puzzle!
