It was very good, with a lot of information. It was immersive, we spent 5hours (over a dinner party) on it! The four of us enjoyed ourselves, I think four is ideal. It was a little hard to sort out b... See more

Ordered package of 3 cases. In Europe it should arrive within 1-2 weeks but no information about that. Company is olnot answering any e-mails. Seems more like a scam.

I ordered a case more than a month ago and it never arrived. I tried to contact them via email twice already but i only got automatic answers saying they usually answer in 1-2 days.

I purchased a kit in december 2024 and I played it with my boyfriend not long ago. The game was high quality, however the answer was already inside envelope A. So you can imagine it was quite disappoi... See more

Well put together mystery, the hints were helpful to ensure we stayed on the right track. We liked how the weblinks were an active part of the experience. Will totally buy more!

Except from the brilliant idea this company has been based on, what makes the whole experience even better is the customer service. Whether the issue is a delay or just a simple question, you will alw... See more
