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.

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.

GBGive 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.

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.
