The Mysterious Package Company is a Canadian company founded in 2013 that produces mystery, adventure, and horror-themed tabletop-puzzle games and mailed artifacts.[2][3]
History
Colin Bolton, Misha Schneider, and Tim Sullivan co-founded The Mysterious Package Company in 2013, as a company producing narrative-driven games delivered through the postal service. In 2014, Jason Kapalka, a Vancouver-based entrepreneur, joined the company as a primary investor.
Between 2015 and 2019, The Mysterious Package Company launched a series of Kickstarter campaigns. In 2015, they launched The Century Beast, which raised over $300,000 USD and was backed by 1,291 pledges.[2] In 2016, the company launched a campaign for a Victorian horror experience, Filigree in Shadow.[2]
In 2021, the company worked with Toronto-based puzzle company Curious Correspondence to produce Doomensions: Mystery Manor, which became one of the five highest-grossing tabletop-puzzle campaigns on Kickstarter. In 2023, the company formally acquired Curious Correspondence.
In 2024, the company published No Escape: Dead Man's Tale on Kickstarter. The following year, in 2025, they released Innsmouth Rising, a new crate-based narrative experience that also met its crowdfunding goal.
