What is a Matchbox Mystery?

1. An immersive experience. You land on say an unknown island like a fish out of water; you laugh, shout, dance, scream, dream; you emerge dopamine drenched, renewed, transformed; you're now a mastermind, primed, fetching a sachel of pristine goblet-gems ready to live the life you dreamed of living. (An SBL Matchbox Mystery does that!)

2. Have you ever accompanied anyone through a phenomenal escape room, tinkered with a delicious who-done-it or won an exotic cross country treasure hunt? Put those three together, add historical intrigue; you're in the belly of a matchbbox mystery. Don't scratch. It's enriching. It's elevating. Up the euphoria: spring ashore with family, friends and cohorts. It's unforgettable.

3. Exciting puzzles. Games. Obstacles. Clues. Juicy little mysteries coiled into delicious intrigue. No red herrings. What may prove irrelevant to solving one cabacle is sure to be pivotal, seminal or a clue to some other. Hang on to your wits; win new friends. Matchbox mysteries are a treasure trove. Stumped? You'll still be enriched, transported, and primed to run through the maze again. Wiser, though. That's what a matchobx mystery does to ya.

THE GATHERING (Intro)

A riddle: Bitter to the belly, slight to the mouth, sweet going in, stuck on the out; you want me.

Earth is in a crunch. Reasoning is up in smoke. The Divine Council has gathered. The Caiman Rebellion and TenVernGom have forged forces in its relentless push for domination. The battle cry has begun. Chapter 1: Mamasita & The Good Drunk

Secret agencies have a frightful interest in Flight 53149.

Have you solved the opening riddle? Of three air-tight solutions, only one holds the key. Many need it. Do you have that key? Regina claims she learned several lessons. What valuable lessons do you assess she learned?

Chapter 2: Watch Tower - A torrid affair. Royal kindness. A brutal capture. Deadly secrets. "People give up their lives for many things," Flying Water reveals, "Love. Friendship. Ideals. Some get killed for the very reasons. For which of these are you ready to die?"

A chink in the armour: an error in the Flight's manifest bodes grave ill.

Rookie masterminds profer the idea that this mystery is being stitched together from a variety of storyteller accounts. Who are the storytellers? What mght be their collective or individual interest? With which story thread are you aligned? Discussions with cohorts are strongly encouraged. Who is stitching these stories together and why? Hint: the quality of your life depends on knowing.
