This Shopify ecommerce brand sells immersive, physical detective and mystery game kits designed to give players the experience of running an actual investigation, positioned as screen-free social entertainment for couples, friend groups, and families.
The business grew faster than the founders anticipated, and the scale it reached requires a level of operational focus and capital commitment that exceeds what they can responsibly provide while managing other full-time ventures. The need to sell before the Q4 seasonality is the primary reason the acquisition price reflects an opportunity rather than a premium, and it is the kind of problem that a US-based operator with stable fulfillment infrastructure resolves by simply running the business correctly.
The operational footprint is lean. The business runs on 1 to 2 hours per week in the off-season, with all fulfillment automated through the 3PL. The game design freelancer responsible for the full catalog transfers with the sale, with full IP ownership retained by the business. All vendor relationships, platform accounts, social media channels, and the 100,000-subscriber email list transfer to the new owner. Existing US warehouse inventory covers operations through approximately September 2026, providing a new owner immediate runway into the next holiday season.
The business has been prequalified with funding options, but does not qualify for SBA since there are no US-based tax returns. Further information is provided with the rest of the business information.
