Letters from Another World!

Mystery Mail Box Global Edition is a puzzle solving game that requires you to roam around the Tokyo Mystery Circus building looking for clues, in order to figure out the code that will open one of the many mail boxes located on the second floor. At the start you will be given a game kit (1,000 yen) in the form of a mysterious envelope. The answers to the puzzles contained within will lead you to the next step. Keep solving the various puzzles until you are in possession of the final code that will unlock the mail box!

Mystery Mail Box is played indoors, so it's a good option for those hot summer days of Tokyo! It's estimated to take around 60 to 90 minutes.
