That was so much fun! I really enjoyed that there were so many puzzles to solve in just one box. The quality of the included items was great. Those who are new to this should know that it requires an Internet connection to get some of the online clues and to progress through the mystery. Time flew by so fast playing this game. I loved that there was an educational component to it, too. The kids (and even the adults) get to learn about other countries and time periods. This is the perfect family night activity. I can't wait for next month!

Each box brings new codes to crack, riddles to solve, and puzzles to decipher as you solve historical mysteries with friends and family. Most games tend to last an hour, and boxes are shipped bi-monthly. While games are typically designed for one to four people, up to six players can participate.
Just finished playing a box at a friend's place and all I can say is WOW! It was just like an actual escape room. There were a lot of puzzles to do, which was a good thing and I liked how we could stop playing for a bit and come back in later. There also were buttons to push for the computer to read things aloud as we played, which was good because it was hard to hear some people reading too quickly. I just signed up myself for the next one!
