Curiously, the new experiences don't seem to be showing up on the Experiences page in mobile view. They do show up on the home page, though. I'm checking them out from the Experience page on my phone just fine

I'm on my iPad (which hates me) and I can only see them on the homepage. They do not yet seem to be on the Experiences page. But I also saw someone buying "preorders" earlier this afternoon. Maybe some of us are more equal than others?

Wow, I just noticed that they're marketing Hunt for the Forgotten Tomb towards as young as ten year olds. I'm sure it'll be great, but that's significantly younger than they've gone before.

These look awesome, and I’d like to get them, but it’s not in the cards right now.
I will, however, offer to buy each of the challenge coins, if anyone is interested!

John Augur is listed as 7+, and Curse of the Were-Jaguar is listed as 6+. Those may not have been the original age recommendations, but that's what on the site now.

I remember them more as being marketed towards teens (especially John Augur), but maybe I'm wrong. Seven years old for John Augur seems like it would have to be a very precocious seven year old, but I guess the idea would be to have parents work through the puzzles with the kid.

Oh woe is my wallet! All three experiences now up: Rise of the Cult $249 Cold Signal $249 Hunt for the Forgotten Tomb $249 All three are available at a $20 discount of $229 and with a free Challenge Coin with the reveal if ordered now. I just finished sending an email to the Concierge about the discounted prices. I didn't see the $249 price listed anywhere, and thought that $229 was the regular price, and that they had not provided the discount. I imagine I will get an email back explaining that they are all priced at the Demon Jar level. I'm considering requesting that one of them be delayed so that I'm not receiving two experiences simultaneously. I anticipated this, but oh, my wallet ...

I think the work involved in solving the position of the necessary on the map in John Augur, which I was able to see on a Reddit thread to which someone had helpfully posted photos, would be far too challenging for a 10-year-old.
professor: when I first joined MPC I ordered all three (four?) experiences available at that time, and all were unfolding almost simultaneously. I enjoyed that a lot because there was something fun in the mailbox every week for quite a while. That made the long wait between the mailings in The Century Beast seem even longer.

I don't doubt your memory, as I too seem to recall that they were originally marketed for an older age. Weren't they both originally listed as suitable for 12+? They were both listed as suitable for families though.

If I was that kid's parent, the poor boy would be SOL.

I'm considering requesting that one of them be delayed so that I'm not receiving two experiences simultaneously. When I decided to go all-in with the MPC during the Dread Holidays last year, I actually got many Experiences sent to me at once (I think it may have been three or four at the same time). I had a lengthy email dialogue with them about this, and at first they discouraged it, but after some back and forth, they decided that as long as I could keep things relatively organized on my end, it wouldn't be a big deal. It turned out to be incredibly fun, and I almost never got multiple mailings on the same day, so it all worked out well. The Experiences were also different enough that it was obvious which mailing belonged with which Experience.

It's not so much a matter of being able to keep track of them, and more a matter of spreading the experiences out so that I minimize the dearth of mailings.

Alas, professor, even the simplest puzzle is beyond me. It's like a blank wall appears in front of me through which neither my thoughts nor sight can penetrate.
