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.

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.

Very disappointing Very disappointing. They sold it as each box has its own resolution and builds over a season (but you don't need a full season) which is completely untrue. I had no way of knowing if I was done with a box without going online and looking up the answers. You should feel some sort of sense of accomplishment when you're done! Not only was that missing, but the "finale" was a super disappointment as well. It HEAVILY relies on the internet which I was not anticipating/did not like. You can't hypothesize as to what is going on along the way because the story line has no basis in reality. I was looking for something different to do with my husband--something unplugged that required some thinking and teamwork. What we got felt like homework and I ended up hate-playing it with some friends at work to get through it. We all agreed that it was a disappointment and a waste of time. I was also tricked into an auto-renewing situation and tried to cancel and it took two extra boxes (that I was not refunded for) to get it to stop. Beware.

What 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!

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.
