Mystery Message Forever Stamps

The Mystery Message Forever Stamp invites collectors and mailers alike to put their sleuthing skills to the test. Featuring vibrant colors and bold geometric shapes, the design presents a visual riddle — a hidden message waiting to be discovered.

Each colorful square contains a letter arranged in an intricate, seemingly random pattern. When viewed together, these elements reveal the phrase (spoiler alert!): “More Than Meets the Eye!” The reverse side of the pane provides the key, confirming the playful puzzle’s solution.

Designed by USPS art director Antonio Alcalá, the Mystery Message stamp adds a sense of fun and intrigue to every envelope. Issued as a Forever stamp, it will always hold the value of the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce rate, no matter when it is used.

Perfect for puzzle lovers and philatelists alike, this innovative stamp is a reminder that — just like great design — there’s often more than meets the eye.
