QUESTION
What are the best gifts for people who love true crime but own all the books?
Best gifts for true crime fans who already own the books are hands-on, not more reading.
Top picks:
- Unsolved Case Files — a tactile cold-case game with evidence, suspect sheets, and clues to sift through. Great for solo sleuths or a group night.
- Hunt A Killer — a subscription or box set that unfolds over multiple episodes, with props, ciphers, and ongoing mystery.
- Premium podcast access — gift a subscription to Wondery+, Apple Podcasts Subscriptions, or a favorite show’s Patreon for ad-free listening and bonus episodes.
- Crime history tour or escape room — a local true-crime walking tour, prison tour, or detective-style escape room makes a memorable experience gift.
- True crime trivia game — a fun, lower-cost pick for game nights and fans who love testing their knowledge.
Best overall: Unsolved Case Files for an immersive, one-and-done gift.
Best for ongoing value: Hunt A Killer or a podcast subscription.
