CAReally 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!!!

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.

GBEmpty Faces is an amazingly fun… Empty Faces is an amazingly fun experience, great for people that love being able to dive into a world and experience it on your own terms. It leaves it up to you to find out what there is to learn, and so many hooks have started me working on so many theories only two episodes in! Its not the type of thing you'll figure out in a few hours, but rather something that leaves you wondering about throughout the day, eager to jump back in whenever you can.
