First mailing of Risen! arrived today. DH looked through the packet and promptly googled "scam Wong Trading." This is what he found about 4 down. I couldn't believe it! All of it even pertains to his experience, Risen! After all of my careful planning, it took him less than 10 minutes to figure out what it was. Of course he immediately came to me after finding the website, and I (with a straight face) read the letters from the packet and then looked at the website. He said, "You sent it, didn't you?" I just kept reading, and he started cackling! Well, at least I made him laugh pretty hard, and he felt pretty clever for figuring it out right away. Dang. I was hoping he'd get to the second mailing before he figured it out. We'll have some fun with it with the kids though, and I told him not to watch the video or read anymore about it so it'll still kind of be a surprise. I wonder if we'll be able to fool the kids with the first mailing. It's the only one I think they'll fall for. It'll still be fun though!

Blast and damnation! Those outlets who would use specific names from the mailings in their review are certainly a pain in the arse! It is not so hard to avoid this - thegenii did it in his! I am so sorry to hear this mystery has been spoilt. I wish you and yours the best ofntimes with the remaining Experience though.

Shame, and kudos to hubby for thinking of googling it with scam, but concentrate on the kids now - maybe rope hubby in on selling the reality of the experience to the kids - mum and dad will look so cool at the end of this.

He'll have so much fun being in on it though! I actually read thegenii's article on this before I even knew who he was. I 've since gone on to read many of his articles... very enjoyable reading, thegenii! I really couldn't believe how many spoilers were in the article my husband found though. I hope he didn't read it all of the way through. He was kind of busy since he'd just gotten home from work and the kids were all home, so hopefully he didn't skim the entire thing.

You're exactly right. He'll have a great time doing this with the kids! Thanks for bringing out the positive points.

Indeed, I find it more than a bit annoying that people post reviews and even unboxing-videos of a service where the main selling point is that it would remain a mystery without taking any precautions at all!

More and more, it seems people are concerned solely with promoting their own YouTube channel or Blog and not with how their actions impact other people. With this Forum, I've hidden the MPC sections of the board from non-registered members to keep it off of webcrawlers. I used to go out and vigorously dislike all spoiler videos of MPC products on YouTube. Unfortunately, I've gotten lax.

Well, here's some good news. We were just talking about it because my black light flashlight that I ordered to use for C&C just arrived, and my husband said, "It's kind of like an escape room that gets mailed to you!" He keeps telling me not to tell him what it's about. I have to admit that it's kind of a relief not to have to keep the secret from him anymore!
Oh, and Volume III that I ordered for myself is supposed to arrive today! Wa-hooo!!! Can't wait. Now I'll just have to find time to actually get to work on it. The holidays are already screwing with my personal fun!

Thanks, alyeska. I used the phrase "The K*i*n*g in Yellow" so it would prevent my article about that experience from showing up on Google too easily.

The Haunted Dollhouse had some stuff though. I'm not sure about C&C, but I'm not taking any chances. I also signed up for Empty Faces (not MPC.) I just want to be ready, just in case.
