Challenging Fun for all This is a great subscription box. The cases draw you in and make you feel like you are really a part of the environment. The goals for each box are balanced well enough to offer a challenge to all players, but yet also allow all players to feel comfortable playing. Something else I like about it is, I do these boxes with my 13yr old and it is teaching him to slow down, pay attention to all of the details and make educated decisions once the facts are laid out in front of him.

Perfectly Challenging Such a fun way to engage actively in something for those that want to "do something" and feel accomplished, but don't necessarily want to get out of the house. Just the right level of challenging to keep you interested, and feel satisfied when you solve something! Found ourselves really getting into the story and the various characters, thanks to the vivid details picked up along the way through various pieces of evidence and trinkets!

An engaging, community building journey An incredible community building experience! We anticipated the arrival of every episode and our family cleared their schedule to participate. The best part is everybody was engaged and contributed! The interface was very intuitive and lightening fast responsive. The story drew us in. Each box took us about 2-3 hours working together to unravel. And, as we solved our first case our family ask, what’s our next case?

A great gift! I received the Mallory Rock season as a gift, and I really enjoyed it. I tried to play with my partner but he refused to download the app to look at the digital evidence, so I continued as a solo endeavor — which I preferred. The cyphers are really fun. I love how you can expedite your next installment if you finish a box early in the month. I plan on playing more seasons in the future, so it would be really cool if HAK had an option to return/recycle some of the physical clues after solving to restock their inventory and avoid becoming clutter in your house. (If they did offer that, I’d probably still want to keep some of the cooler evidence items.)

Customer service is nonexistent I purchased a gift card-granted it got lost in our house, so it was a long time ago. But, when I tried to redeem it on the website, it wouldn't work, so I emailed asking if there was anything I could do, or if it wasn't valid any longer. That was on September 13th, and the only response I've gotten was an automated message saying they're 'a few days behind'. It's October 11th. I would have completely understood if they said it had been too long and the care was no longer redeemable, but the complete refusal to provide customer service is an interesting choice.
