Well, I have a tracking number but it’s been stuck in Awaiting Package mode for two days now, so no idea when it will arrive. Notably, the website states that the next mailing (of whatever they’re doing next) is scheduled to ship in “late May”.

Interesting. They are ending C&C but rather than closing out those accounts and asking people to subscribe to the new product they are coming out with...they are automatically transitioning us to whatever comes next and...if we don't want it...it appears that it will be our responsible to go in and cancel the subscription. Not sure yet whether that is going to be a good thing or a bad thing.

A murder mystery. It's an interesting idea, in theory. Of course EVERYone is doing this so there's money to be made. Let's just hope MPC can put their classic spin on it to keep their current subscribers interested. As for the automatic transition, it makes sense (for them). A significant number of people won't cancel but who might not subscribe to something new so at least they'll get them to try it out. Of course a valiant effort of goodwill would be to send the first box to current subscribers gratis to try it out. But, you know, ...

In my opinion MPC already had the most unique Murder Mystery with an immersive story and a secret society. I'm already set on unsubscribing since vol 4 was a huge letdown. I still want to work through the unsolved meta puzzle from 3.4 but that will be the last for me I think.

Hmmm I don't have a tracking number either and I'm Canada. I would agree though - vol 4 has been a let down. Puzzles are pretty simple and with no vault (s) it lacks the satisfaction of a finish. I could do without the curios, particularly since they don't play a part in the puzzles. Just more clutter. I will have to see what the first issue of vol 5 holds but my attention is waning

They are supposedly coming out with something different to replace it, no details yet as to what they is going to be.

Yeah, mine is still labeled "Curios and Conundrums" and says the next ship date is late May. I still haven't received any "official" word. Is there some sort of information in the Oblivion box that says it's morphing into a Murder Mystery? And if so, I wonder if it will be self-contained boxes or a continuing story. So many unknowns!

Thanks. 39days. that doesn't correlate with the "late May" shipping so that must be when the details will be released.

Well, thanks to some assistance from Todd, I was able to determine that my package is expected to be delivered next Friday (to Los Angeles). It's going to make it just before the end of the year.

I’m willing to give it a look-see. We don’t even know what it is yet.
