Black Friday board game deals: how to compare offers
For Black Friday board game deals at Puzzling Pursuits, start with our current offers and bundle terms. As of September 14, 2026, we haven’t announced a Black Friday 2026 offer. That page is the place to check what’s available now.
The comparison that matters is the final cost of the games you actually want. A larger bundle can be a useful buy for someone who already enjoys puzzle games. For a first try, a single game may be the better gift even if a bundle saves more per box.
What do our puzzle games cost now?
These are our listed US-dollar prices checked on September 14, 2026, before any qualifying promotion, tax or shipping. Product pages and checkout carry the current prices. These are at-home escape room games: you solve a story through printed pieces, or through a browser in the case of Mission: Elfpossible.
| Game | Listed price | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Down The Rabbit Hole | $29.95 | It’s our introductory Wonderland game for 1–6 players aged 12+. Allow 1.5–3+ hours. |
| Blackbrim: 1876 | $49.95 | A Victorian manhunt suits someone drawn to detective stories. It supports 1–6 players aged 14+ and takes 2–4+ hours across two parts. |
| The Blackbrim Trilogy | $99.95 | All three connected games suit an existing puzzle fan. They provide 10+ hours across six parts for 1–6 players aged 14+. |
| Mission: Elfpossible | $16.95 | A digital Christmas game suits a last-minute gift. It supports 1–6 players aged 14+ and takes 1.5–3+ hours on a laptop or desktop. |
The Blackbrim Trilogy currently has 4.9 stars from 533 customer reviews. Down The Rabbit Hole has 4.9 stars from 82. If this is someone’s first puzzle box, we’d use their interest in the theme and the available time to choose between them.
How do you compare a bundle with a sale?
Use the same games on both sides of the comparison. At the listed prices above, the three Blackbrim games cost $149.85 bought individually and $99.95 as the trilogy. That is a $49.90 difference before any offer on individual boxes. An active promotion can change that comparison, so check the qualifying cart total before deciding.
Also check what an offer excludes. A promotion on individual boxes may have different terms for bundles or digital games. If you only want the first Blackbrim game, spending more to own all three still means buying two additional games.
Should you wait for Black Friday?
If you’re browsing for yourself and have no deadline, you can wait and see whether a Black Friday offer is announced. We can’t promise that a future promotion will beat the deal available today.
If the game is for a particular gathering, work backward from that date. Check the product’s availability and the delivery estimate for your address before ordering. Leave yourself time to wrap it and read any setup instructions. A discount won’t help a boxed gift arrive after the party.
For an experienced player, check what they already own before choosing a trilogy. The Blackbrim set contains Blackbrim: 1876, Reager’s Return, and Origins & Ends. Someone who has finished the first game may prefer to choose the remaining titles individually.
What works when there’s no time for shipping?
Mission: Elfpossible is our digital option. The game arrives by email in minutes, and one purchase supports a group playing together. You’ll need a laptop or desktop; a phone or tablet won’t support the full game.
Its story is about rescuing Santa, and it contains no violence or crime scene. The puzzles are still rated 14+, so it suits adults and older teens who enjoy solving things. It currently has 4.7 stars from 26 customer reviews.
