I purchased the all-in-one experience and I think I'm at the end. I have Determined the paths on the grids, and Found the matching symbols on the site map, and Noticed that the positions describe the Eye of Horus with the room marked x13 in the center.
I presume this indicates the location of the tomb entrance. Is there something I can do to confirm that and receive some sort of final epilogue, or is this just where I pat myself on the back and pack it all up again?

I’m not going to click your spoilers because we’ve not yet ordered this experience, but it is showing as a single mailing (all in one) on their website now. Did yours come as multiple mailings?

No, It did all come in one mailing. That wasn't really part of my question. Except that when it came in multiple shipments, it might have been more clear as to the sequence of how the puzzles fit together rather than just having everything dumped on you at once.
There's no real indication that I can see that says "yes, you've solved it correctly" and wraps up the story. There was an "Open this Last" envelope that I assumed would take me to a website where the solution was described, but it just turned out to be a promotional code for 10% off the next purchase.

There’s no epilogue other than a (rather disturbing) newspaper article (if I remember correctly; there’s a chance it’s a journal entry). There’s certainly no special reward you get for solving the main puzzle in this (that’s true for all of the Experiences except with Rise of the Cult and Weeping Book since both of them involve decoding messages, so you get extra content as a result).

Oh, I see. Sorry, I do see your mention of the all in one now and missed that earlier!
We’ve only done one Mysterious Package Co experience so far and it had a clear ‘fill this out when you’re done and then open to see if you’re right’ piece.
Since we’re considering this one next, I’ll keep an eye on how others who’ve completed this experience respond to your query. It is good to know that it is less clear about how to complete.

OK, thanks. There is a declassified military report that is what I think you mean. A little disappointing, but I enjoyed the puzzle and the physical items are of very good quality. What was mainly throwing me was that the, let's call it "hidden", object kind of eliminates the need to actually solve the puzzle. I kept thinking there must be another layer, another puzzle to solve, in order to find the right spot, because they wouldn't just give the solution to you like that. But if that came in the last mailing, as a way of saying "if you give up, here's where it is" then that makes some kind of sense, they just could have made that more clear. Thanks again!

Yes, I've done the Taako's Correspondence School one and that one had an interactive component that confirmed each solution as you went. Thoroughly enjoyed that, except for one puzzle that was a bit of a slog.

I purchased this experience as an all in one. My daughter and I have eagerly looked over everything and are loving the production value and setting. However, we are a bit overwhelmed with where to start. Since it wasn't split up into different mailings it's a bit confusing about what's a clue, what's a solution, etc. When we did John Augur, at least we could narrow down the relevant materials because of the order we received them! Would anyone by chance have a list of materials that were in the first mailing?

This is exactly where I got stuck with it, and one of the things that frustrated me about this one. I just did all this work and I could have just not done all that? It would make more sense as confirmation of what you've already discovered. And this is supposed to be the ending too, but I don't feel rewarded for figuring this out, I just have a location on the map, it's surprising how anticlimactic the ending is.

I think, for me, I wished it would have been a multi-shipment experience as it was in the past. The whole hidden part reminded mes of John Augur with its scrimshaw and such. If the package had been broken into separate sections it would have made better sense.

You mean I could simply smash to scarab to get the smaller scarab And therefor not not have to do the grids and endless dice turning and mapping?
