Really 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!!!

Give it a shot! To be fair, this review is not 5 stars for two reasons, one is the poor tracking and shipment information, and the other is because I was a little disappointed with the second box. Once the third box arrived I was invested again. I'm not sure why I wasn't as engaged with box 2, but I'm glad I stuck it out and moved forward with box 3. Give it a shot! It's a super engaging immersive story. I can't wait to get to the end.

How to cancel this is the real mystery While I enjoyed the puzzles and games the subscription provided, canceling this subscription has proved to be a complete nightmare. I've sent multiple emails to "walter" since the only way you can cancel is via email but have received no response. Very disappointing.

What an experience! What an experience! After finally deciding to give Empty Faces a go, we are having a fantastic time! The experience of decoding and putting together all of the clues has been thrilling. With so many "a-ha" moments, it is hard to stop thinking about the case! I only wish we got on board sooner! We can't wait for our next package!

Very fun game, would recommend to anyone who loves a good mystery. Pretty awesome experience! Your first package pulls you right into the story with your first batch of evidence and a letter telling you the basics of what you're trying to figure out. The story really pulls you in from the get-go. My first box had plenty of material to keep me occupied for a few hours investigating and theorizing. When you figure everything out, you will have as many new questions as you do answers, which made me satisfied with my progress, yet still eager for my next box to come in the mail with more evidence and clues.
