The popular carol "12 Days of Christmas" is a collection of gifts that sound pretty terrible to be on the receiving end of. Who even knows what the heck four calling birds are? Sounds like a bunch of off-brand parrots if you ask me. Still, there's nothing like building up anticipation over almost two weeks of chaotic gifts which is why we're happy to present Reviewed's 12 Days of Giftmas, an almost two-week-long event of the best Christmas gift ideas available this year.

For two more days, we'll be taking a much more simple approach to gift-giving, with recommendations that comprise our favorite holiday gifts of the year. Yesterday, we recommended the Ooni Koda 12 Gas Pizza Oven which is a pizza lover's dream. Before that, we suggested the Magna-Tiles 84-piece Storage Bin Bundle which helps kids of all ages stretch their imagination muscles. Today, we're recommending an immersive game inspired by grisly true crime cases.

Reviewed's Christmas Gift of the Day: Hunt a Killer

From popular podcasts to documentaries and even a few dramatic series, true crime is having a bit of a moment right now. In recent years, the Golden State Killer was finally apprehended after decades of sleuthing by law enforcement, authors and even dedicated amateurs. What if there was a way to capture the rush of cracking a cold case from the comfort of your own home? Hunt a Killer is a unique subscription box that turns you and your friends and loved ones into full-blown gumshoes.

Each month, a new mystery is sent to your door in an attractive box containing police files, clues and even objects found at the "scene of the crime." Solving each case takes anywhere from 90 minutes to three hours depending on how clever you and your team of sleuths are. It's such an engrossing experience that our reviewers believe it's perfect for cozy at-home date nights. Of course, it's also fantastic for holiday gatherings, parties or anytime true crime-obsessed friends gather. These mystery boxes are available to buy a la carte for $30 or you can subscribe from $20 per month.

From $20 per month at Hunt a Killer
