One more lit window on your bookshelf.

An old-fashioned etched glass door, a green lamp on the desk, stacks of case files and pipe smoke that hasn't cleared yet. Enigma Agency sets between two books the storefront of an investigator who has only just stepped out.

A mystery you can build in one evening

One hundred forty pieces, three to five hours: a Beginner-level kit despite its busy look—the density comes from the printed details, not the build. Its 13.5 cm depth gives it real perspective: you look through the glass of the door, and the office stretches back toward the far end of the room.

Who is it for? Fans of crime fiction and noir novels. A gift for someone who reads Simenon or loves detective series. A mood piece for a desk.

Assembled dimensions: 21 × 13.5 × 17 cm

Your questions about the Enigma Agency book nook

Your questions about this kit

Is it really beginner level?
Yes. 140 pieces, with no mechanism and no delicate assembly: the busy look comes from the printed details.

How does the lighting turn on?
With a touch switch: one tap of your finger is all it takes.

How deep is it?
13.5 cm, deeper than average: that's what creates the perspective effect through the glass door.

More book nooks to build

This is the storefront; the Detective's Office is the interior. The two echo each other on the same shelf, one behind its glass, the other at the corner of the desk. And to linger in the shadows, Darkroom is the lab next door.

An office to build. A green lamp to switch back on.

Find it in our book nook kits, bookstore and workshop book nooks and 3D wooden puzzles.
