Questions

What do I get when I buy a printable?

A digital PDF download. Nothing is shipped. Each case file and escape room kit comes in two editions: a full-colour edition for tablets and colour printers, and a printer-friendly edition that saves ink.

Is this a subscription?

No. Each printable is a one-time payment of $7.99. Your Forgotten Mystery membership covers the online cases only; the printables are sold separately.

What language are the printables in?

English.

How do the case files work?

You get every document from an old investigation, unsorted. Three sealed envelopes hold the answers: work out question A, open Envelope A to check, then B and C. Print the envelopes as separate files so nobody peeks.

Can I get a refund?

Because the file is delivered instantly, you agree before payment that the download starts immediately and that you lose the right of withdrawal. If a file is broken or does not open, write to support@forgottenmystery.com and we will fix it or refund you.
