Soon to be your favorite sleuth! 13 year old Bella is a big hit with kids.

On a journey to solve 50 mini-mysteries, kids jump into the intrigue and flex brainpower to arrive at their own solutions. Every bit as fun as the stories, kids love to read the solutions with an enclosed decoder mirror!

With the same appeal as “Encyclopedia Brown” books, Bella invites kids into her life experiences to narrow down suspects, to decode secret messages, to investigate the details surrounding a crime, and to think broadly about motives and implications of foul play.

Fun illustrations, fascinating characters (including Bella’s trusty Black Lab, Noche) keep kids engaged. Clever and captivating scenarios cause kids to apply their powers of deduction and comprehension without realizing it! Bella’s Mystery Deck develops proficiency in logical thinking, skills of synthesis & analysis, and concentration.

Some of the puzzles can be solved with clues internal to the story, while others require some knowledge of natural history, science, geography and culture.

  • Mini-Mysteries Intriguing to Kids

    Solving mysteries like Nancy Drew was my intent. My 10 year old enjoys reading the cards, solving the mystery and then checking if she was right. Great gift for this age.

    Information about Bella's Mystery Deck
    Posted 1/3/2012 by Cindy Perry

    Based on the initial playing of the game, it's more of a reading product than a game. There isn't a board game or a way to keep score, it is a mechanism to provoke logical thinking, which is a good thing. It's not quite what we expected. Even though this review isn't the highest possible, it's a worthwhile investment in that it does create thinking. It's just not what we expected.

    Purchased this item for my 7 year old daughter to play with on an airplane flight/trip. I had to work with her on the first "mystery" to show her how to use the mirror to find the answer, and to read through the story to find clues. After that, she read a few more on her own, and thought they were fun. It was a great choice to pack, because it is small, they are short "bites" of reading and problem solving (rather than tackling a long book), and she can do it by herself or with me.
