GBWaste of Money - serial story a disappointment Our family ordered this for 6 months and, after the first box, wanted to cancel and get a refund. First, we didn't realize this story builds month over month - I seriously thought we'd have a difference mystery each time. Secondly, the puzzles were too easy. When I wrote to ask for a refund and cancellation I got a form email that all sales were final per their policy and they would cancel future renewals but that I'm out the $140 for the six episodes. Not very customer service oriented.

GBHow 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.

GBDon't Purchase We purchased the Hunt a Killer, and we really enjoyed that. We essentially wanted to try empty faces as we really like more puzzle solving rather than crime solving; however, we regretted the decision. Each box was a chore to get through. We did the Mountain and it was tedious rather than fun. Each episode provides 8-10 well crafted and thought out items... but that is about it. There is no overarching goal, there is no linear path in any of the clues, there is no way to tell if the clue you figured out leads anywhere or it just stops. Most fun puzzles have you unlock one thing to move to the other, this literally has you try to solve random puzzles just to solve them. Imagine realizing the numbers in the letter are a code, then you spend the whole time solving that code, and when you solve it you get a phrase like "Higher Power" and then thats it. It doesn't lead to anything, it doesn't help put the story together, it was just there. Or another example, spend time getting a random phrase and think you're done. Then the reveal states something like "if you take the first letter of each phrase and type it into an empty web browser and add .com you get taken to a website".... then the website you go to is just non-sense and doesn't provide anything to the story. In short, this was highly disappointing. It was not fun. I spent so much time trying to work through these then when I went to the reveal I became even more frustrated because there was no context on how to solve half of the clues. Don't waste your time, at least with the mountain, but would still recommend To hunt a killer.

CAWhat 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!

GBThis was poorly put together This was poorly put together, poorly linked, overpriced, etc. I could go on but I’ve already wasted enough of my life on this.
