GBI love it! I love it. It is challenging and intriguing. It isn't as easy as one might think. It works to increase rumour problem solving and.critical thinking. You can find support on the official websites and there are other social media groups (unofficial) who will help when you may be stuck. You also. find like minded people who understand the type of what is considered.to be morbid and it is not for the politically correct. The groups become friends and share other parts of their life which brings go cohesiveness to the group.

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.

GBVery 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.

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.

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!!!
