Give children your presence, not simply more presents.

Lifted Lantern Adventures stories and Advent-Ture kits were created from a simple desire: to give children, and the entire family, something more lasting than another present to open. We design each Christmas Advent calendar mystery and full-length family mystery book to bring screen-free fun, faith, and connection back into the holiday season.

Christmas can become crowded with gifts, schedules, and distractions. These mystery Advent-Ture kits and Stories are designed to slow the season down and make space for something better — shared anticipation, imagination, conversation, laughter, and time with the people who love them. Rooted in wholesome, Christian-themed storytelling, every Advent Kit turns the days before Christmas into a hands-on family tradition the whole household can solve together.

Our hope is to help families give children their presence, not simply more presents, while building traditions they will remember. Lifted Lantern Adventures is a family-owned business creating Advent calendar alternatives and mystery adventure books for families who want to reclaim some of what Christmastime should be about.
