  • Unfortunately we can’t specify the day on which Post will arrive.

    However, if you are ordering a personalised game, we can add a sticker on the outside of the envelope saying ‘please don’t open me until [insert date]’. If you need this, please add this when completing your purchase.

    Unfortunately we cannot do this for non-personalised games.

    If you’re unsure when your order was dispatched you can contact us here.

  • No, all Post will fit through a standard letterbox, and won’t need to be signed for on delivery.

    In case you need to check, the adult puzzle is sent in an envelope 7 x 10 inches, and the children’s in an envelope 6.5 x 9 inches.

  • If you were unreachable, Royal Mail might have left your delivery with neighbours, in your safe location or at the Royal Mail delivery office, so we would recommend checking these locations first. If you have no luck, contact us here and we’ll be happy to help.
