Utah-based Finders Seekers began when three friends who share a love of mystery and puzzles went to a local mystery escape room. They left thinking “we could do this, and do something better,” said co-founder Cody Dingus.
Their idea for something better was a mystery box subscription service: a carefully designed box sent to subscribers each month with clever puzzles and codes centered on a different location or city as a theme. Solve all the clues, what Dingus and his team term “a Find,” and subscribers are entered into a drawing for cash prizes and rewards.
So far, Dingus’ team has created boxes around locations like Paris, Beijing, Hawaii, San Francisco, Athens, Mexico City, Petra and more.
Finders Seekers mysteries are family-friendly: there is no gore, mayhem or darkness. They are a perfect activity for family nights or date nights.
