As the player, you receive a mysterious package from a young family that recently moved into the solemn Never House in Halifax, Canada. The riddles in the house are keeping the family captive and they’re asking for your help to free them. But what does this mean for you? Is there even a family locked up in that house or is there something entirely different going on? Can a house even really be ‘alive’? If only you had never opened this box…

As other reviewers have noted, this is a high production value box set and I really like the ability to order a reset pack to ensure that the items that you may have scribbled over or folded (or screwed up and jumped on in frustration) can be reused and the whole kit isn't just a single use object. Puzzles were on the whole well structured and because I personally don't like heavy reliance on website interaction to resolve board game puzzle tasks, I didn't find the interaction too intrusive. 

Not so much creepy as an eerie feel to the story, but nicely atmospheric.  Expensive, but understandably so and a very good feel to the whole package.

The quality of the DarkPark at home games is excellent. Everything you touch has been thought about from the material it is made from to the way it has been presented. Never House is the best of their games so far - but the others are excellent as well.

Wow. We've played all the box games from Dark Park and they're all amazing but this game is the best of them all. Very high production value, an unexpected and clever ending, this game has all you could possibly ask for. Do not think twice, buy it!

We did need one hint and were not able to find that hint in English, but that might have just been us and luckily my Dutch is good enough.
