I'll have to go over everything in greater detail at a later time. I'm pondering what one of the stretch goals was (something about twice the number of components to interact with the artifact). Professor, I believe this is what you're remembering.  Yes, correct. I was on my phone and didn't have access to the saved web page on my PC. |

The only thing I can think of is that it feels a lot like A stereoscope Maybe the fifth mailing will be a bit more than the traditional black envelope? Including an insert and ephemera? I agree. It certainly has that type of feel to it. The recessed area looks like the perfect place to drop in a stereoscope, or at least some sort of lenses.
Ha. It made me think of a View-Master. I'm hoping a fifth mailing brings more toys for the interaction. |

Afraid to unwrap the item that appears to be a (censored). Should I?

There is an inherent problem with doing what needs to be done with one of the items in the box. You cannot determine in advance how large a surface you will need. I'm thanking my lucky stars right now that I saved the cardboard box my new mattress came in, as it's sizeable enough to put together a puzzle of considerable size.Displaying it once completed, though, might be tricky.
I'm wondering if the puzzle might actually, once completed, contain another portion of the cipher. There's no question that it does. |

Fair warning for those solving the cipher on the back of the photo that there are some VERY questionable angles that some of the symbols are written in. It all translates to a coherent (and creepy) message, but it took much longer to translate than I thought it would. |

Maybe I'm missing something, but it's there an in-game reason the blue prints to the house should exist as a jigsaw puzzle? And do you think with the final mailing we'll get the rest of the pieces? |

The crate is absolutely gorgeous! I'd actually spent some time in advance gathering my prying tools in anticipation of having to strong-arm it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I hope this is something they will consider for further experiences. (I'm sitting here right now sorting out straight-edged puzzle pieces). |

No no not at all. It's all perfectly legible read normally. To be honest, I think they likely ran out of room (it's a long message and not much room to write it in) and had to fudge some of the symbols. At first I thought it was a bit tricky like The Chimes page from the previous mailing where you had to hold it at the correct orientation to translate, but while there's a tiny bit of that with this given that the entire message is written at a slight angle, in this case it's more straightforward (pun not really intended) but just has some aggravating moments. |

I will confess that while it is a beautiful box, and much more practical than previous ones, I was a bit saddened that a hammer wasn't needed. |

I have some advanced culinary tools that have dispatched things quite handily. My petite cleaver has definitely proven a fast friend, especially for leverage. |
