Treasure hunt at it's finest We played the game from society of curiosities and it was really good. The riddles and puzzles were fun. I can't wait for the next game. Good job!!!

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!!

High quality and amazing fun Super original and engaging game! Loved how it used various types of puzzles: from physical puzzles, to ones around a song or even ones you needed to search google to find clues. Completely different than anything I've ever tried and I am absolutely hooked.

Tonight I (well Tonight I (well, wifey and I) completed the first adventure from the Society of Curiosities, Captain Madok's Treasure! This is a solid "A" project! For a freshmen adventure, I really enjoyed it! There is a fun mystery to solve, some great use of technology that actually adds to the game (as opposed to some that pull you out of the game), great physical props (this all fit in an envelope, so no trinkets, just good paper-stuff), and some really cool puzzles to solve. This is primarily a puzzle-type game with some deduction and seems to have a mix of puzzles that are mid-level challenging (plus/minus a few degrees), but the hint system is fantastic for when you get stuck or challenged, so you will always be able to continue at your own pace! I highly recommend this product and if you have not already purchased...run out today! It was just....fun!

4 solid hours of puzzling fun, really helps to have a printer. It took us about 4 hours to play through the first mission with 4 people, and everyone had contributed to a breakthrough by the time we were done. We really really liked the elements being spread out between physical objects, text messages, and websites. My one note is that it helps a lot to have a printer to make copies of digital content, in case everyone doesn't have their own phone, or in case no one has anything bigger than a phone available to view content. It would be nice to have more of that content provided in the physical package, locked behind 'envelope 1, 2, 3, etc's until the player 'finds' them in the game. I'm real happy with how this turned out, and I'd love to see what the next installment looks like!
