But all of those materials mean the puzzles are many and varied. But those looking for more in-depth puzzle solving or more complex storytelling are likely to be a bit disappointed at the end. As with Escape the Crate or Hunt A Killer, a good portion of the experience requires an internet connection. But instead of siloing the player inside a walled internet garden, as those games do, the challenges in this box prompt the player to explore the endless, unmanicured wilds of the internet, which Society of Curiosities has seeded with its own real-seeming yet puzzle-related websites.
It puts the player in charge of a recovery team tasked with retrieving the hoard. This disparity makes it a little too obvious where the relevant clues are, which in turn limits the immersion that the game strives to build.
For instance, the box I played while testing featured posters from 10 different US national parks with puzzles on the back of each one, plus factoids about the history or makeup of the park in question. What you get in this box is pretty similar to what you find in Escape the Crate—an abundance of paper materials with a few smaller physical props thrown in. The posters in my box featuring illustrations of each national park corresponded to a note from an eccentric billionaire who had planned to leave his fortune to the parks but passed away before he told anyone where he had hidden the cash.
I was tasked with solving clues on the note, which corresponded with puzzles on each poster, in order to find the fortune and get it to the Park Service. They were simple to complete; in the few instances when I got stuck, I consulted the note, which provided a list of hints all printed backward so the only way to read it was by looking at it in a mirror.
If all else fails during your puzzle solving, you can turn to an active Facebook group full of other solvers for help. The Finders Seekers experience is simpler than that of some other boxes I tried, and its cases also take less time to solve. And if you subscribe to a monthly delivery schedule, the price gets even lower. At the back of each case book is a list of questions that you must answer.
There are four different editions at this point, each with 10 cases the most recent edition was written by Dave Neale, whom we interviewed while researching for this guide , but all have a history of being out of stock or otherwise hard to get ahold of—a common issue with popular tabletop games.
Afterwards, you can get going in about 30 seconds. Entertainment time: minutes at a time. Energy Expended: Mental only. Then, scavenge around for a few everyday items of varying shape and texture — say, a button, some cold noodles, and a handful of marshmallows. These must remain hidden from the players. Next, gather your players and blindfold them. You could, of course, tell them to close their eyes tightly, but blindfolds add to the fun.
Explain to them the history of the magic box, how it was presented to you by a stranger, found deep in an attic, or fell from the sky after a storm. Place one of the items you found in the box and have your blindfolded participants, in second increments, take turns reaching in and feeling the objects.
They cannot remove the item from the box or scrape it along the sides. The game is produced by Nintendo and thanks to their creative minds, there is a character for everyone. Whether you are a hard core gamer looking for a thrill, you have characters like Starfox and Samus.
