Has anyone in the US or Canada gotten their 3 game bundle or even a tracking number? 😞. This is almost ADC level incompetence.

Well, amazingly a tracking number from the mystery agency and transglobal showed up in my email this morning. Coincidence?

Got my trio of boxes today. Very pleased with the quality, considering it was only 100 pounds sterling for all three. With board games and stage magic being two of my main hobbies, I'm excited to get to work on these. I can't yet say what sort of hobby "Balthazar Stones" fall into.

Update: while the presentation is certainly still fantastic, I've been disappointed by a few of the puzzles. My advice would be to approach this with more of a "game" mentality, where you shouldn't question where the answers come from. Not every solution is going to make perfect sense. For example, there's a lock on a police evidence container. The combination is found in an advertisement for a casino. Why? Has someone in the marketing department of the casino infiltrated the evidence room of the police department, and is leaking combinations to the public in the newspaper? Nope...that's just how you solve that puzzle. *shrugging emoji* Don't get me wrong, the boxes are still a treat, just not the 10/10 I was originally hoping for.

Ooooo, dude point me at the clue for unlocking the Balthazar Stone box. I’ve tried all the numbers that seem suitable with no luck.

Did you do the very first thing the inside of the box lid tells you to? To visit the website and open the envelope there?

Yes, the first step of every box requires using the website (as a way to ensure that you visit the website).

craigrj and tetravus I came within a second of throwing the boxes away. I had them all packed in the original shipping box ( games safely stored elsewhere), and ready to go out with the rest of the garbage. I just don’t have room for storing boxes filled with air. But, I decided to wait a bit, so with your help I rescued them and took pictures of the appropriate messages. And now I’m afraid to throw the boxes away. 😞

I may have overstated the importance of the boxes. All they do is link you to themysteryagency.com - once you've noted down the password from the inside of the lid, you can safely recycle all three of them.

Nah, the fear of throwing them away is entirely of my own making. I’m thinking of turning them into storage. 😜
