Poor presentation, hope the game is good The game is going to be a Christmas gift, so it hasn't been played yet. It may very well be a great game, but just opening the box was extremely underwhelming. There were packets and things to read, but I get that most of it's online. However, the game didn't come in a box. All of the packets were just in the shipping box, which got kind of beat up in the mail. So now to give the gift, I have to find a box for it. And for some reason, a page of a mommy magazine fell out from among the other papers. The game I got was the treasure hunt one, and the page from the magazine was how to make pirate flags. Ok, good, relevant info, but could you have dressed it up a bit? (I can literally see where the page was torn from the magazine. The little paper bits weren't even trimmed off.) So now if I want my recipient to have this information, I have to trim down the page and glue it on card stock, etc. The total of my order was $53. For that price, this should have all been done for me. I gave three stars because I'm going to assume the game is good anyway. Over all, very unimpressed. Edit: I just went back and reviewed everything that comes with the game. The list does mention ripped magazine pages. It still seems weird though - why a modern magazine for a treasure that's supposed to be ancient? Edit #2: I spoke with a member of the company and she sent me the missing piece of the game. She was also very attentive to my needs as a customer and emailed me back quickly. Much appreciated!!

EU customers beware EU customers beware, the company is not dealing with the importing costs to the EU properly which results in extra handling fees if you would order their products. Update: got in contact with them to solve this, although the extra handling costs to EU aren't resolved, they didn't make any problem to refund the remaining chapters. Therefore I update the score from 2 to 4 stars.

so far so good so far so good. i am absolutely loving the circus puzzle. i will be signing up for a membership!

A Sheer Joy + The satisfaction of opening your package, exhilarating! + Society's gorgeous package is screwing with my perception of reality! + Custom made websites to facilitate your research are a signature for this company, and they've gone even bigger and better. Wow. + What really gained my respect for the content designers was that they really do their due diligence and research. + A sheer joy to experience while staying in, and easily ranks as one of the best at-home games I've played.

Jump In, You Won't Regret It! A huge fan of this adventure and can't wait for the next chapter! My only complaint is that I have to wait 3 months for the next adventure! That said, I appreciate the reasoning for that. Unlike many mass market games that are pumping out new ones left and right, this kind of integrity with story, seamless technology, and engaging and fun puzzles takes time and effort. Thank you to the creators and you have a fan in me :).
