Joint Christmas Gift
My wife and I decided to try this out as a joint Christmas gift. We overall very much enjoyed breaking into each box for Mallory Rock. Here are some of my pros/cons of the experience. Pros - it was something different to do rather than sit around and watch tv - The physical and electronic clues are very well done and enjoyable to research - the story is enjoyable and the characters are fun to research and learn about - the clues ranged from easy to difficult which hooked us. We would go to bed and wake up the next morning talking out how to solve clues Cons - the first several boxes feel front loaded while the last remaining boxes felt short on information - the email exchange disappeared between boxes and even after you’ve sent the message and cleared out. Would like the see the message remain between boxes. - the elimination of characters was a little quick. There are a ton of available characters to choose from and the elimination of excess characters seemed too quick for our taste. Keeping all available characters on the table and allowing the user to eliminate them seems more enjoyable. Even if eliminating multiple people at once would be preferable than the narrator eliminating them for you. - exchange of items received for discount on next box/season or money back. You get a lot of great props for clues with each box, but what do you do with them once the season has been completed? You’re unable to play again because much like a movie or book you know the ending. Returning some of the props for future discount of additional seasons or money back would be great. - iPad/tablet support is greatly needed. It’s awesome to be able to review emails and look at websites on your phone, but it needs to carry over to tablets and iPad. You’re unable to clearly view anything on the iPad and it doesn’t support rotation of the screen in either environment. Think this would be a huge improvement. - final follow up. I’d like to see a final follow up email from Grey Investigations or from the person who hired me, in this case Gwen. I’d like to see an email about if anyone was arrested, how multiple people where involved and what happened to other characters. Overall the experience was great and we purchased another season to enjoy.
