About Empty Faces

A GREAT EVIL HAS FOUND YOU. From the creators of Hunt A Killer - the fastest growing thriller subscription box ever - comes 'Empty Faces.' Empty Faces is a horror subscription box where an "evil force" sends you mysterious objects, letters, and items relating to a horror mystery story. Each month, you get to use the objects in the package to piece together the mystery.

If you are considering buying, beware the bait and switch If you are considering buying, a few things to know. The "2 bottles of free wine" that is supposed to be part of the package, is actually another website you have to go to and register and then order-yadda, yadda. And when I went to the Empty Faces site it said it had a 25% discount applied at check out. I ordered the $140 package and got a $7.50 discount. I'm not so great at math, but that was clearly not the $28 I was promised. And after getting all the way through the process it turns out that this is a subscription, not a 5-month package--so 5 months from now I have to remember to turn it off. I had been looking at this as a gift for a few weeks and it's my bad that I didn't try to place the order sooner and learn all this 2 weeks ago. I sure hope the game makes my sister happy enough to make up for all the ridiculous bait and switch. Bad news.

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.

Don'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.

Beware of companies un-subscription… Beware of companies un-subscription process! I was not a big fan of this type of game once I received it, but I was not going to give a bad review since I thought this was well put together for those interested in this type of game. But I am now forced to give a review to cancel this subscription which is unacceptable. For those on edge on getting this game, you should be aware that you are unable to cancel through their website and need to email Walter at emptyfaces That was a slight annoyance, but the real issue here is Romnique.rivera at hunterkiller.com from emptyfaces will not cancel my subscription until I explain why I want to cancel. I also started the process before the start of the next shipment closes which is most likely why they are not canceling it right away in hopes to charge me again. So that is my review, and hopefully they will cancel my subscription now before I'm charged for another boring month.

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.
