Customer Review

“The story is compelling and the mystery is great. The puzzles are challenging, but not impossible.The “evidence” items are fabulous. One box even had a massive blanket stuffed into it. They tie into the story and they are awesome. Customer service is amazing. I needed a document from a box emailed and she hooked me up at 9:00 at night so we could keep going. I’m thrilled with this subscription.” –Ivy R.

Customer Review

“My S.O. loved these! I got this for him for his birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed looking forward to a new delivery each month. The jerky was really good, exceptionally fresh! Even his least favorite jerky's, the sugar free ones, were pretty good. They just need some kin of sweetness to balance out the flavor. All in all this was a wonderful experience and will be my first stop for future gifts!” -Donna H.
