This interactive and thrilling experience will bring his love for mystery solving to life.

4. Detective Board Games: There are numerous board games that revolve around detective work and mystery solving. Games like "Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective" or "Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game" offer immersive detective experiences in which players have to investigate cases and solve intricate mysteries while competing against others. This will provide your dad with hours of engaging fun.

5. Crime Documentary Series or Detective TV Shows: If your dad enjoys watching mysteries unfold, consider gifting him a DVD box set or a subscription to a streaming service that offers crime documentaries or detective TV shows.

6. Personalized Detective Merchandise: Surprise your dad with some personalized detective-themed items, such as a customized detective hat, a magnifying glass engraved with his name, or a detective-themed mug with his favorite detective's logo. These personalized gifts will show that you truly understand and support his interests.

Create a detective-themed scavenger hunt throughout the evening, or consider hosting a murder mystery dinner, where guests play different characters and work together to solve a fictional crime. This unique and interactive experience will undoubtedly be a memorable birthday celebration for your dad.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that reflects your dad's personal interests and passions.
