Worst subscription box ever
Jun 30, 2023
Tabitha P.
Several of the board/card games were not play-tested at all. Like, we received dice that had sides that did not correspond to any rules in the kit, more than once. We received the same board game twice in a 12 month subscription, and it was unplayable both times. This was the worst subscription box service I have ever had and these games weren't even so-bad-its-fun, just, unplayable nonsensical frustrating trash. After a few months we just began sending them directly to the recycling bin.

Just buy a Single BOX at First!

First box was the Australian box. It was so boring that we quit after an hour. We wanted to quit sooner but thought we’d continue to play to give it a fair shake. We ended up donating the box to a local charity despite me wanting to just toss it in the rubbish. Seriously never been so bored in all my life. But I have a 3 box subscription, so let’s hope the next one isn’t as bad. If I were you, I’d buy just one box at first to see if you like it.

This is all terrible. I ordered this box almost a month ago. Shipping FINALLY shows a delivery date…. Of NEXT Wednesday. Terrible terrible. I already don’t care about my box. No subscription takes a month to deliver. This is ridiculous.

Hi Brandy! Thank you so much for sharing your concerns! We completely understand! Since your order was placed after the 15th of the month, your first box was set to ship out the first week of September. Unfortunately, our September theme was delayed due to some unforeseen delays. That is not excuse though, we take 100% responsibility and are so sorry you've had to wait so long for your first box. Please let us know if you need anything further, we are always here to help!

Hi Ed! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We apologize for any miscommunication on our end. All orders placed from the 1st through the 14th are shipped on the 15th of the month. Typical shipping time is 5-10 business days, and we have been seeing longer than normal shipping times dues to COVID and the holidays. It looks like your box was delivered on the 27th. We will be reaching out to make sure there isn't anything further we can do to help! We apologize for your experience but want to do everything we can to ensure our couples are taken care of!

Shipment was delayed. When the envelope from cratejoy came, it was empty. The post office stamped that it was empty when they received it. I have yet to hear from the seller about a refund or receiving my product.

Hi Chelsie! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! That is so peculiar! Shipments from us are not accepted unless they have product inside the shipping container.

Lied about what box you get.
Dec 22, 2021
Mark L.
When I ordered this box there was a big advertisement on the page that said something along the lines of:
Order before December 4th and receive the "Hygge for two" Christmas box.
I'm Danish and my wife loves the Danish "Hygge" and I thought this would be the perfect hyggelig date night for us before Christmas.
I ordered it on November 24th so about a week before the "Deadline" to receive this particular box.
I just received it today on December 22nd (just 2 days before Christmas which is kinda late but okay).
But instead of having a nice "hygge" date night... They sent me a freaking Space invaders-themed box!
Probably the most unromantic and uncozy theme I could think of. (at least for my wife who doesn't like sci-fi at all... Neither do I for that matter)
They just straight up lied about which box you're getting... What a complete waste of time and money.
Verified Purchase
Hi Mark! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We completely understand your frustration! Due to some major supply chain delays, the second run of our Hygge boxes was going to be late. We did take down the "current" box section, but it appears you might have ordered around the time we did that. We completely apologize for the inconvenience! We are doing our best to ensure that couples don't miss a date night while still trying to manage supply delays. We are going to continue to work hard to provide the best experience we can! We will be reaching out to you personally to ensure you are taken care of! Happy holidays and Happy Dating! :)

I bought a subscription for my assistant as a gift last holiday season and she did not receive it until nearly February. Once the box arrived, she told me her and her partner really enjoyed the date night box I assumed that the delays were pandemic related and decided to subscribe for myself. I placed an order and now it has been over 30 days and I once again have yet to receive a package. Contact the seller no response. There is basically no way to contact anyone to get a real answer. I am very disappointed.

Seriously disappointed!!!

The Escape from the Howling Hotel was by far the biggest disappointment we’ve experienced this week by far. We’ve come to enjoy our date night boxes from Cratejoy, even going as far as looking forward to them each month. I have to say, this month was as if it came from an entirely different company. It was boring, poorly thought out, completely different from the usual and had zero relationship building exercises. It was pointless and we can’t get our free time back. We were constantly waiting for it to get better. Seriously, where did this come from?? It ruined our night. Do better next time.
Verified Purchase
Hi Janine! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us! The Escape from the Howling Hotel date night was an escape room box that focused on teamwork and problem solving as its relationship focal point. It was a new and unique concept to the normal boxes we've done in the past. We do always make sure to get as much feedback as we can from each date and we have noticed that this box has been one of our highest rated boxes. That being said, our goal as a brand is to ensure that EVERY one of our couples has a wonderful time on their date. It's feedback like this and experiences like yours that really help us improve...

Hi Julissa! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your feedback! We are sorry to hear that the content was not up to your expectations. With each date night we ship, we try and pack as many games, activities, and items as we can. The most important focal point for us with each box is the games and interactive content to help you and your partner reconnect with each other. Having said that, we always want you to feel like you are receiving the monetary value you are looking for. Thank you so much for your time and please let us know if you ever need anything further. We are always here to help and ultimately just want to make sure...

In what universe is a person going to put a unicorn cone on his or her head so someone else can throw a ring over it? Romantic? No. Fun? If you are five years old. Stupid? Beyond.
This was a waste of money. I threw it in the trash. I would not ask my spouse to even entertain such a stupid set of activities.

Hi Linda!
Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know what you think! With each theme we create, we try to focus on spontaneity and laughter. Yes, our themes can be a little goofy and cheesy at times, but our goal is to help break the ice and allow for some one-on-one connection. With this particular theme, our main challenges focused on creative problem-solving by offering some games to play to help build communication and teamwork (albeit unicorn-themed).
The specific game you are referring to was a part of four additional, bonus games we added to help offer as ways to play as a group or family. We know many families are stuck at home now and we wanted to add a few...
Disappointing

Siobhan W.
The sample date shown online looked cute and fun so I decided to give it a try. The “date” that I received isn’t really cute or fun. I’m not interested in guessing about Australian slang and researching Australian landmarks as a date night. I’m really extremely disappointed that the box’s focus is on “finding And giving support outside your relationship.” I didn’t sign up for a group date box, i thought it was going to just be for me and my partner. All the games are really meant to be done with another couple. No thanks. This box REALLY missed the mark for me. Waste of money. Shipping was good.
Verified Purchase
Hi Siobhan! Thank you so much for your feedback! Each month, we create different themes with different relationship focal points. Most of our dates have activities solely focused on you and your partner. With the Our Australian Adventure theme, we also included ways to turn your activities into a double-date in addition to the normal one-one-one activities. We are so grateful that you took the time to let us know what you think! Please let us know if you need anything, we are always here to help! Happy Dating! :)

NOT A 12 MONTH SUBSCRIPTION

Don't waste your money on a 12 month subscription. We paid for 12 months and only got six different boxes. We got six boxes twice for a 12 month subscription.
