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.

GBGot a 5 month subscription did the… Got a 5 month subscription did the woods wasnt bad but not worth a second run. They renewed anyway against my choice as a forced subscription. They did this at 2am local time so we wouldn't see it to the following morning. Its gets worse the phone number listed in the email doesnt work, the terms and services link also is a dead link. They conveniently leave you just the email choice in which they state they dont check daily giving them enough time to force this on you. The website text assistant vaguely states a day as a standard response time. A day to text is beyond poor business practice. Given zero information or way to properly cancel a subscription I didnt accept is fraud. Do not order from them.

GBVery 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.
