All online orders are processed from our dedicated warehouse. We take great care to ensure your ordered items are securely packed before shipment. Whenever possible, we reuse cardboard boxes from our suppliers, though we also utilise new boxes and wrapping materials when necessary.

For orders placed before 1:30 PM, Monday through Friday, we aim to dispatch them on the same day. If this isn’t feasible, they will be sent out on the next working day. Orders placed outside of our office hours (Monday to Friday) will be dispatched the following working day.

We offer free delivery on orders totaling £65 or more. For orders under £65, delivery charges are as follows:

• £4.50 for Royal Mail Tracked 48 (delivery within 2-3 business days)

• £6.00 for Royal Mail Tracked 24 (delivery within 1-2 business days)


Please note that shipping times are estimates and not guaranteed. Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances beyond our control may cause postal delays. In such cases, we cannot accept responsibility and will not issue refunds for shipping fees.

At this time, we do not offer shipping outside the UK.

At checkout, you will have the option to collect your order from our cafés in either Oxford or Bath, allowing you to avoid the shipping charge. We will notify you by email once your order is ready for collection. Please allow up to 3 days for orders to be available at the Oxford location and up to 7 days for the Bath location.

Important Notes: 

1.   Meeple Stars can be earned on retail merchandise purchased through both our webstore and café shop.

2.   Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT
portion of the price. For example, if you buy a game for £50, you’ll earn Meeple Stars on the net amount of £41.67 (the remaining £8.33 goes to HMRC), which would give you 125 Meeple Stars.

3.   Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.

4.   Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.

5.   Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.

A great competitive deduction game

In "The Key" games, players try to be the most efficient detectives, solving a mystery as fast but with as few clues as possible. The game is played in real time, with no turns. All potential clues are in a heap in the middle of the table. Once the game starts, every player can start picking up clues, one by one. Each clue has a value between 2 and 4 that tells how useful the clue is, and also a couple of visible icons that tell what is the clue about. Once everyone thinks they have solved it, solutions are checked, and among everyone with the right solution, whoever has the smallest total of clue points wins, with the caveat that the first one to have solved the mystery can ignore one of their lowest-value clues when adding them.

In "Theft in Cliffrock Villa", the mystery being solved pertains a series of thefts. Three items have been stolen, by three different suspects, at three different times. Afterwards, the suspects have escaped the villa in three different ways. To solve the case, you need to match time, suspect, item, and escape method for the three robberies. To help interpreting the clues, you get mugshots of the suspects, their fingerprints, and what they had on themselves when captured. Some of the clues might need you to crossreference some of that information to be able to eliminate a suspect, or a escape method, etc.

This is a fast game. It will take less than 15 minutes all in all. But it is quite intense, as only real time games get to be in many cases. The game includes 9 different cases, but it wouldn't be hard to reuse an already played case later on if you do not have perfect memory, as the only differences are the right combination in the end,

The game also includes a solo mode, where you try to solve the game with as few clues as possible.

We found this a very enjoyable game, and are looking forward to try the harder games in the same series.
