I bought The Box to use with a large group of students. I messaged with the seller multiple times. They were always super helpful and quick to respond. I had to modify it a bit so that I could have multiple teams playing at the same time in competition with each other. It worked great! The kids loved it! I was very impressed with the graphics. Everything was well created, I appreciated the 3D elements that were printed and then crafted together. It made for the perfect hands-on experience! I ordered three more rooms from this company since I was so impressed!

Puzzle #1 we were able to figure out.

Puzzle #1 we were able to figure out. Puzzle #2 though was more difficult for us. Until we understood the position of the cube sides did the solution make sense. All the clues where available for us, we just didn't see it at first. I can see how the game designers put a lot of effort and thought into each puzzle.

Thank you for your feedback, Kat — we’re really glad we could help clarify Puzzle #2 through the video walkthrough we sent you. Once the cube is positioned correctly, the logic behind the puzzle falls into place perfectly.

We always strive to make sure every player fully understands our games and gets the best support possible. Your updated thoughts mean a lot to us — and we’re happy you could see the design and effort that went into The Box.

Challenging but fun!

This is the hardest escape room we have never been through! I really love the last puzzle and how interactive it is using the website more than the printed envelopes compared to other DIY rooms

MysteryLocks has the most amazing rooms by far. The graphics are gorgeous, and the computer interface is delightful. Best of all is the puzzles; they are so creative and clever. Not just boring substitution cyphers, but actual puzzles that require intuition, and result in a joyful "a-ha" moment when you figure it out. I'm a loyal customer who has purchased from this company several times, and I will absolutely keep coming back for more.

Not happy.

It was a lot of work to put together and the code in the end did not work.

Thanks for your feedback, Amy! We're sorry you feel this way about our game. However, there may be some confusion, as the game does not have an end code at all. The Box is an online-guided experience with answer validation and story elements, so there’s no final code required to complete it. If you can start the game, you can play and finish it as designed.

Additionally, all hints and solutions are provided to clarify answers. We couldn't find any contact attempts from you for clarification or assistance, but we're always happy to help—feel free to reach out!

This was very hard 😅 Me and my boyfriend love puzzles but some of these just did not make sense and we ended up having to use hints several times. I’m chalking it up to user error though. Otherwise was fun.

We were only able to actually do about half the puzzles. We even tried to figure the puzzles out with the solution a in hand and just weren’t able to see where they came up with them.

My first-time purchasing an escape room game like this and actually playing interactively online. My family enjoys doing in-person escape rooms and we didn't know what to expect with this game. It turns out to be pretty fun, although I had to turn off the sound effects. Since it is an instant download and printable delivery, the quality of the puzzles depends on your own paper materials, printer, and paper-cutting and gluing skills.
The puzzle started off pretty easy and then it gets a little more complicated. There isn't any time constraints on the game, so we enjoyed the ability to solve the puzzles leisurely. Really like how the last puzzle combined some of the previous clues to solve. It's like a big finale for the game. Enjoyed playing with it and hope to play with another game soon!
