GBDisappointed Am I the only one that was underwhelmed? We got episode one of the Woods.I My family and I got through the first package in one night. When I told my husband what I spent it, he made a disappointing face. The trinkets are cute, but the story is kind of boring and no anywhere near as evil as I was hoping. I won't be getting any more.

CAReally disappointed in The Mountain Really disappointed in The Mountain. We were given a gift subscription to Empty Faces and received The Woods as our first set of boxes. The Woods was great....interesting puzzles/codes, cool effects and a fairly well thought out storyline. We were excited to start The Mountain when it arrived but ended up very disappointed. Someone else said it best...these boxes were tedious..more work than fun! The codes and puzzles were difficult to sort out and when you did figure out the answer it lead to nothing. Lots of cipher and NO interesting effects. We did not even realize we had finished the boxes...there was no conclusion. I later learned that the person who gifted us the boxes only meant send us the first set of boxes, he got caught in the auto subscription renewal rip off. DO NOT PURCHASE THE MOUNTAIN!!!

GBAbsolutely NO customer service Absolutely NO customer service. Website says first episode ships same day as order. NOT TRUE. It's been 7 business days since they charged my card for my order. NO ONE responds to my messages. Beware this company.

GBVery disappointing Very disappointing. They sold it as each box has its own resolution and builds over a season (but you don't need a full season) which is completely untrue. I had no way of knowing if I was done with a box without going online and looking up the answers. You should feel some sort of sense of accomplishment when you're done! Not only was that missing, but the "finale" was a super disappointment as well. It HEAVILY relies on the internet which I was not anticipating/did not like. You can't hypothesize as to what is going on along the way because the story line has no basis in reality. I was looking for something different to do with my husband--something unplugged that required some thinking and teamwork. What we got felt like homework and I ended up hate-playing it with some friends at work to get through it. We all agreed that it was a disappointment and a waste of time. I was also tricked into an auto-renewing situation and tried to cancel and it took two extra boxes (that I was not refunded for) to get it to stop. Beware.

GBI LOVE this game!! I LOVE this game!!! The Woods didn't catch me as well as the one I just started, The Mountain, but I really do enjoy it all. One chapeter gives me hours or days worth of mystery solving goodness and all the trinkets are wonderful and I keep them as keepsakes. I also love the characters, websites used for the episodes, and everything that goes into making these creative games. Everything looks super authentic and beautifully thought out!!! I will be a customer forever if I can!!!
