Welcome to Duskmoor, a fictional New England town

Welcome to Duskmoor

You’re the new neighbor.

You've just moved to a quiet New England town. You're excited for a fresh start and Duskmoor is beautiful. Soon a letter arrives from a neighbor offering a friendly welcome and a little local gossip.

Then two teenagers disappear.

As your neighbor keeps writing, you begin to notice the gaps between the town’s official explanations and what people say in private.

Family secrets surface. Old folklore takes on new meaning.

You’ve barely settled in, and already there’s more to this place than anyone mentioned.

Something to
look forward to.

A quiet evening reading a letter

And something
to talk about.

Customer photo review of The Drifter

I appreciate the depth of the mailing. You can look at the archives, read old news stories that may or may not be important later on, and really feel you've moved to a new town.

We are enjoying the Duskmoor mystery. There's so much to engage with! It's early so we have no clues yet, but we are enjoying the process and look forward to the next piece! Checking the mail box is now fun!

Customer photo review of The Archivist

I am only 5 letters in and cannot wait for the next one to come. I am enthralled with this small town mystery. I am an avid book reader with over 2000 books. The “Lore by Letter” is definitely worth your time.

The Archivist

It is a fun store folklore so far, we will see what develops.

The Archivist

Fantastic letters!!

The Drifter

We’re 2 months in and totally hooked. Completely invested! I knew there would be digital layers to this but I wasn’t prepared for how good this is!

The Archivist

It was different than anything I’ve tried before and made the story feel a lot more real than just reading a book. Getting the letters in the mail and following the clues was really fun, and it was something the family could enjoy together too. We all looked forward to seeing what would happen next.

12 Months - The Complete Mystery Experience

I got this for my wife and daughter. They both love to read and I thought this would be fun for them to do together. Turns out, I'm enjoying it just as much as they are! I think I've got it figured out... but they think I'm wrong. Be prepared to spend a few hours on this. It's become an event in our home every two weeks and we talk about it often.
