GBTonight 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!

GBloved It! This puzzle is fun and engaging. After playing their brick and mortar escape room, we were so excited to be able to try one of their puzzles in the comfort of our home. The storyline is well thought out and in depth, pulling you in and keeping you interested. The star of this game are the puzzles, which vary in type, complexity and require differing skill sets to solve. We loved it and can’t wait for the next one!

GBPoor 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!!

CAAn AMAZING evening of adventure, right in my home! I like escape rooms and puzzles... and this whole pandemic affair is really getting in the way... I thought I was just going to have to wait. Me and my wife played the Society of Curiosities game sitting in our kitchen, after the kids went to bed, and: WOW! It was as intense, and rewarding, and fun as the best escape rooms I have gone to. The puzzles were challenging, creative, aesthetically pleasing. The narrative story arc was compelling and the use of all sorts of different real world mediums was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves into the game. Well done, Curiosities, we'll be back for more. I am hooked.
