Description:

Alright, gumshoes, listen up! A case just landed on your desk, and itโ€™s a doozy. Your mission? Assemble a mini detective boardโ€”packed with clues, suspects, and enough red string to make a conspiracy theorist weep.

Your board could include (but is not limited to):

โœ… Mini photos of suspects (real, fictional, or just doodles of your pets looking guilty)

โœ… Newspaper clippings (real headlines or made-up, the juicier, the better)

โœ… Mysterious notes, coded messages, or ransom-style cut-out letters โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฐ

โœ… Red thread (or drawn lines!) connecting all the juicy bits

โœ… ANYTHING that makes it feel like a tiny criminal mastermind is hard at work!

Will your board expose a shocking scandal? A missing sock syndicate? A pigeon spy ring?? Thatโ€™s up to YOU. This is not a profile based swap so go nuts.

๐Ÿ“ SIZE: Keep it small (that's the mini part), it should not be smaller than an ATC (3.5 x 2.5) and not bigger than a normal sheet of copy paper (8.5 x 11). We want it to be able to fit in a standard size 10 envelope.

๐Ÿ“œ STORY: Optional, but if you wanna add a quick backstory to your case, go wild!

โœจ Digital Art Disclaimer: Digital artwork is totally fine as long as itโ€™s printed (so there are no visible screen or ink lines) and itโ€™s your own work, properly licensed, or credited. That said, it is absolutely fine to source your little news and other images from the web, I encourage you to use the tools available to you, but please don't print a picture of a murder board and ship it out.

Grab your magnifying glass, dust for fingerprints, and get ready to mail off your masterpiece! ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ฆ Who knows what secrets your partner will uncoverโ€ฆ

Eligibility

โญ Must have a 4.9 rating or above to join.

๐Ÿ“Œ I screen every profile before assigning partners and throughout the signup period. This is 1 week to sign up and 1 week to send, but since it is not profile based you can start right away, that's why the turnaround time is fast.

๐Ÿ” If you have concerns about a potential swapper, PM me anytime.

Ratings

๐Ÿ“ฌ Please rate your partner upon receivingโ€”no one likes wondering if their mail got lost!

โœ… Rate according to Swap-Bot Official Rules

5๏ธโƒฃ If you receive one (1) mini detective board, based on the size requirements, sent on time. Everyone has different talents and tastes.

I'm not able to participate right now due to some travel but I just want to say what an amazing swap idea I think this idea - super creative! I hope you do another round in the future!

I'm happy to host it again in the future, but I am not a gatekeeper you are welcome to host any swap I post anytime you want, please just use your own description or you can credit me in the description if you would like to use mine - happy swapping!

This is the most original swap I've seen on the site! Very clever. I love the idea but I don't know how I would begin to create it. Also, there's not a lot of turnaround time so I have to hopefully find this another time and sign up.

@BrazenIntrovert - I'm so glad! I have noticed so many swaps that are all just buying things and I would much rather swap handmade weird shit :)
