So much work goes into these boxes!
So much work goes into these boxes ! Both the story and the quality of the items are really impressive. I have completed subscription cases, box sets and premium ones and had a lot of fun with all of them. While this does not fully take you away from screens as you might have to go on websites to find clues, you certainly spend more time with the items in the box than on your laptop. I also feel like I am switching off and really focusing on these stories every time I open a box, thanks to how immersive the experience is. My boyfriend does not really have the patience to do most of these with me and cannot remember anything from previous boxes so subscriptions are not his thing but he does enjoy doing the premium cases with me. I do the others on my own, it's my favorite me-time. Difficulty is varied enough too that there are really options for everyone from no-cipher to cipher heavy.

Wow what a great review Cynthia! Thank you so much for noticing the hard work the writers and game makers have put into the experience. The goal is to give you a fun and immersive time and sounds like that was accomplished. Happy hunting!
We really hesitated on whether or not to try this. I mean, it's $30 a month for a subscription- and often quite a bit more to buy complete kits/sets- and you have no idea what you'll be getting or whether you will like it. Then by a stroke of luck, one of my coworkers told me that she had been getting these for a while and thought it would be something I would enjoy. She lent me her most recent set and from that moment, we were hooked! We ended up buying several different types of (for lack of a better word) games so we could try a variety of difficulty levels and some of the supernatural ones. I completely understand why they cost what they do- the creators are so innovative and thorough- including having real phone numbers from the locations in the set, creating complete websites and fake social media accounts for their victims and suspects, building complete sets for their pictures that seem truly authentic, sending tangible items to use in your sleuthing and devising amazing pieces of evidence that are often more than they seem. So far, we haven't had any that are so easy that we feel they're not worth what we paid for them. If you are on the fence about subscribing, I highly recommend at least buying a box set or premium kit and giving it a shot.

We are glad you are finding your Hunt A killer experience thought provoking! We work hard to bring a balance of fun, challenging and immersive stories!
I love Hunt a Killer! There is a good variety in what can be purchased. Each game, whether a stand-alone or a subscription comes with objects to help create an immersive experience. Some games are hard, some easier. They offer different price points so you can start with a $30 standalone or go straight to a year subscription.

Our team works so hard on bring the best and most authentic experience we can to you our audience, we are so happy we have hit the mark
Hunt a killer is a great experience. it’s well
thought out and challenging but not impossible (at least with a good group of people). the attention to detail is amazing! can’t wait to order my next series.
The only “bad” part was that we went through the boxes super fast so it only took us a few weeks instead of months. still worth it!

Hanging out with friends is always fun, hanging out with friends solving a murder is even better. We are so happy to hear you are loving your Hunt A Killer Experience.
We had a great time solving the Mallory Rock case. We did all 6 episodes in 3 nights. Some of the final clues did not entirely makes sense in that we did not draw the same conclusions that the authors wanted us too. Overall, though it was very fun. We have already bought some more experiences to try!!

Thanks so much for the feedback! Happy hunting detectives!
I have solved 5 beginning with The Class of 98, Moon Summit, Cadence, Just4Fun. My last was Mallory Rock. What a twist! I usually figure out the murderer, however, not this time. I love the cryptograms, pictures, and detailed autopsy photos.

We are so happy to hear you have found an experience that helps you both connect and spend quality time together Emily! We hope you continue to love your Hunt A Killer journey
This is the best thing I have ever done!
My sister and I spent every Friday night doing a case and it was just the best time. So intricate with detailing and really made you feel like you were a detective.

Our vision for Hunt A Killer is to immerse our members in their own unique experience, much like a TV show where you are the lead detective on the case. We are so glad we have accomplished that for you!
This idea seemed great for my wife so I paid a high price 6 months of mysteries. Cone to find out that it is only one mystery to solve and you only get a box every 30 days. With in 2 hours you are finished with your box and then wait for 30 days for the next clue. Very disappointed and such a waste of money.
If you’re a lover of puzzles and true crime Hunt a Killer is for you! The attention to detail in every box is incredible. You’ll be addicted after the first box!

It's really the perfect combination isn't it?!?! Thank you so much for your recommendation Rachel!
I am obsessed with escape rooms and similar activities like mystery solving board games and case solving sets like Hunt a Killer. I have used many others but Hunt a Killer is by far the best in their industry and it isn't close. There is a wide gap between them and the 2nd best mystery box set company. So much fun and so well done. My wife and I love it.

I recently signed up for this game to try and find something fun and different to do with my family, most of which are grown and moved out. Could it be easy, yes. Can you manipulate the information and solve it quickly, yes.
However, we didn't do that. We played it just like the creators said to and my family had an absolute blast with the first box of Mallory Rock. As a matter of fact, we had so much fun that they are constantly asking when I'm going to be home so we can play the next round. I'm an OTR truck driver and so far we love this game.
