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!!!

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.

Waste 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.

This 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.

Predatory Business Boxes are well crafted, but the company has a horrible auto renewal process. They make it seem like you are ordering just one storyline but Auto renew you when that storyline concludes without warning. When I cancelled the sub, they said the first box of the new story had already processed so they couldn't stop it, and only gave me a partial refund. When I said I would return the unopened box they refused to give me a full refund, stating it was company policy to not take refunds. This policy only exists to squeeze money out of the consumer there is no reason they shouldn't be able to take an unopened box back, or catch the box before it leaves the factory. Beware of their predatory business practices.
