Fun, A challenge
I really like these puzzles in an box or puzzle in an envelope challenges. I do not always think the same way that you need to in order to solve these puzzles. I am more of a linguistic learner. So I like it when there is an easy way to get some hints without giving away the whole puzzle answer. This fit that bill.There is a little bit of set up when you open up the envelope and start sorting through everything, there is a cover letter and all the puzzles and papers tie into the theme. You are essentially trying to break into a vault to delete files before a person's life is ruined.What I liked was that there were two sets of everything. This means you can stick one in your purse if you have to leave and work on solving it without worrying about it getting ruined or lost. You can play with a larger group using both sets clues. Or you can write on one set and still have another set to share.You will be able to easily figure out what the puzzles are which is nice because I played one of these and it was difficult to tell what was a red hearing and which was a puzzle.This was not gory or gruesome so you can play it with a younger child, although they may find some of the puzzles difficult.I did this by myself in my spare time. I can not tell you how long it took me because I worked on it off and on over a period of time. I enjoyed the challenge.

Good Production Value
I had fun playing this game with my wife. It took us about an hour to complete. It is worth the money for an evening activity.The game is a series of 9 puzzles. You aren't solving a mystery or anything - but rather trying to decipher clues to get a passcode. I enjoyed having a set objective in the game (vs figuring out who the killer is). There was a nice variety of puzzle types.The production value is amazing on this. Other game manufacturers need to take note. Each clue was on a unique paper type. It didn't feel like they went to Staples and photocopied a few sheets of paper. It was a really enjoyable touch.The plot is a bit thin. You can pretty much ignore the scenario and just focus on solving the puzzles. There is no correlation between the plot and the clues (besides the theme that ties it all together). It's like the plot in porn - it helps you tell the story, but doesn't really matter at all.The game comes with 2 copies of each clue. This would be awesome for large group play so multiple people can look at the same clues. As I was playing it with just my wife, we have a second clue set to share with a friend now that we are done with it. (We wrote on our clue set).The online portion was nice to verify our answers (our math on one of the clues was different from the answer). It also has clues in case you need help or a direction. It was all pretty intuitive to me.Overall it was very enjoyable and a good value.

Great, once.
Pretty fun game! Only problem (not with this game specifically, just the entire genre) is that they're kind of a once-off. Play it through, and than you may as well gift it to a friend. Definitely a fun way to spend an evening with the wife though. Not the greatest escape room game i've played, but definitely solid. I would probably buy it again.

A blast!!
I had a blast with this puzzle. I played with my two cousins (19) and my uncle. The entire process of playing the game took about an hour and fifteen minutes. There are two copies of everything in the envelope so that everyone at the party can participate.The game has many different components to make it enjoyable. There are multiple websites, a developed storylines and even an interactive phone number.At every step of the game, everyone involved was laughing and collaborating. It was a memorable experience and even inspired my cousins to buy a second.We thoroughly enjoyed this game and hope that you do too.

Great for the classroom
I did this with my high school students. We have done a few other escape rooms in the past so they had no problems getting into the swing of things. They had no problem finishing this room in one class period.

So excited to try this mystery!
We did one of these at a girls night and it was so fun! I am taking this one when we head to the beach in a couple of weeks. It comes in a cool secret agenty kind of envelope and the directions are super easy. I'll update my review after we get a chance to play it.

It's okay. Not great.
Look at this image, and put the relevant code into the box.So, we tried. Some of the puzzles made sense, but some... well, no matter how hard we searched, images didn't didn't reveal anything to us. There was no logic to some of the puzzles. Not that they all need logic, but it helps tie everything together. We spent an hour or so trying to get through the puzzles. My girlfriend gave up, so I wandered on alone, but now the pile of papers sits on the counter and I doubt I'll be going back to it.Nice idea, just not very well executed.

Fabulous escape room
Super entertainment for a group of four this evening. Excellent resources and so engaging! Persevere beyond the initial “ Where do we start?” And you will be engrossed .f you need a few clues along the way, these are easily accessible.Good value for money! Excellent entertainment. Will definitely do another.

Another great Puzzle Post item
I love how the items are designed to be like authentic, realistic items. The puzzles are varied and doable but fun and well thought through. I like that the solution is worth the effort. Good job, Puzzle Post!

Great game
Instruction weren't the clearest but once we got into it really enjoyed it. Shame you can’t play it more than once though.
