I loved this game! It is highly customized to each individual person. You become part of the story and your name is included on props. It has some very unique puzzles I have never seen before. The hint system is very good. I highly recommend this to people who like a longer box session, like Root of All Evil, The Messenger, Tale of Ord, Puzzelpost.nl Abigail series, or people who enjoy the 5- 6 box Hunt a Killer series or their Premium boxes. Game comes in 3 mailings at the moment (parts 3-5 are mailed in one box now). The creators are super helpful if you need hints. Lots to investigate here .It took 4 plus evenings to solve. Great value for the money!
This is really a narrative box, not so much a puzzle box. Enjoyable, but don't get it for the puzzles alone.
Playful narrative with a variety of puzzle types, personalized elements, and an easy meta. Great intro narrative box for newbies.
This box has an unparalleled level of customization. It also uses some props I haven't seen used in any other narrative puzzle box (and I've done well over 100 puzzle boxes). Groundbreaking.
Adorably personalized elements and cute presentation. Well-intentioned but significantly flawed puzzle design, with one of the most anticlimactic non-metas I've seen. The puzzle mechanics felt arbitrarily chosen and assigned to story elements, and few presented any real aha. Most disappointingly, the exciting S.O.U.P. theme didn't meaningfully play into any of the puzzles, but was just light narrative icing. Lots of potential here - just could have used more intentional architecture and playtesting.
