Greetings all, my name is Angus. I help take care of many small, medium, and large tasks at The Mysterious Package Company, including helping out at Member Services when required. Many of us wanted someone from the company to visit the forums and pass on some news before you sleuth it out yourselves.
It is with a heavy heart, I must inform you that Volume Four will be the final release of Curios & Conundrums. Please understand that this decision was not made lightly, especially in consideration of the passionate community that loves this unusual periodical and its strange puzzles.
We want to thank each and every subscriber. We thank you for your enthusiasm and feedback on this journey. We thank the community for supporting new puzzlers on the forums, both official and not. Without you (yes, YOU!), we would not have made it to Volume Two, let alone Volume Four.
Current subscribers will find a not-so-subtle hint in the final issue of Volume Four: Countdown to Oblivion, that we have a new project on the horizon. There is little more to say here as the details are in still in development.
Warmest of regards,
~ Angus

Time for something new. Better than to continue it like this.

Perhaps not the greatest shock, but truly sad news. Thankfully, there are many other subscription boxes with puzzles out there now, and we can now promote them here even more than before.

Angus, please tell the powers that be at the MPC that I said “great job taking something awesome, ruining it, and then quitting”. I’m disgusted.

Go back The Wilson Wolfe Affair! Only 5 days left! I want to! I was hoping to squeeze it until the first, but I'll just have to do some deficit spending. Lol

I suspect we will soon find some yin for this yang. People within this community have recognized the void.

Allow me to be one who says, "Welcome to the forum Angus!" I mean that truly. I hope you will join our future conversations and add your insight into the industry. Please do not take our reaction to your news as a reaction to The Messenger.
