Jack Wells, Founder and CEO of Mystery Guides

Jack Wells started Mystery Guides from his spare room in 2019 and grew the company to a multi-million-pound, award-winning national brand in less than five years. The secret of his success? – Creating a fun and innovative product and scaling it through the power of e-commerce mastery.  

Jack’s story started when he was a child – exploring the cobbled streets and hidden corners of Old Portsmouth with his father, on the hunt for historical treasures. The excitement of these father-son adventures never left him, and he went on to create escape-room style treasure hunt books, which have now launched in 25 cities and sold more than 100,000 copies nationwide. 

Outside of work Jack spends most of his time with his two young sons, taking them to amazing places and creating adventures that he hopes, they too, will treasure for life.  

Jack Wells can offer particular expertise in:

  • Starting and scaling an e-commerce store
  • Pay-per-click social media advertising 
  • Copywriting – don’t underestimate this!  
  • Business planning and key figures to track
  • Email marketing
