I'm in! theresystance.com/YOU ARE IN DANGER We are in danger from unknown forces that conspire against us. The air you breathe, the water you drink, the land beneath you is no longer yours. Perhaps it was never yours. There is no security left in this world. We must band together. Resystance Leaders will be communicating shortly to reveal the danger and train you. History has much to teach. We must fight back, but great danger lies ahead. Be careful. Be safe. Be anonymous. Resyst.

This looks interesting. I'll try one box to see what it's about. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to checking this out. I especially appreciate this excerpt from their About Us page:
Ultimately, we found that the mystery and puzzle subscription boxes that are excellent were a bit pricey for our budget and the more affordable ones seemed to be a bit light when it came to story or challenge level (we played one that had absolutely no puzzles at all. It was a confusing time for us).
In the end, we never found one that was just right to meet all of our requirements for a truly great experience. We couldn’t bear the thought that there were lots of other folks out there having good experiences, but not great ones. So we took our years of saying “We could do this better” and we put our money where our mouths are. We set about creating a great monthly experience with challenging puzzles, interesting storylines, cool people you might not have heard of at a price that makes sense.

Just looking at what's in the box, it is obviously an "escape room" type adventure rather than ARG. At a glance it may be comparable to Dispatch, but definitely not a C&C type experience.

I haven't received anything despite "joining" Apr 23. They ship on the last week of the month but I would have expected something by now. I shot off an email asking for an explanation. I'll give them till Tuesday to answer back after that I'll be demanding a full refund.
Late edit--they got back to me fairly promptly and informed me that the 21st of the month is their cut off hence why I missed Apr. I'll be getting my first box fairly soon.

I never finished box 1 which was the Culper Ring. I got the box like...2 months ago? I just got an email basically saying there was a goof up making the puzzle more or less broken and unsolvable. I'm glad they owned up to their mistake but kinda pissed I worked on a puzzle for a long time and feeling dumb about it. Glad to know I was working with bad information.

Was that the logic puzzle? I ran into a paradox with that fairly early on and put it aside, thinking either I had grossly misunderstood the puzzle or there was an error in it.

It was the logic puzzle, yes. I've been working on Box 2 today and just got irritated by the simple things that could have been done to tighten up the flow/order of the documents to be read, the resolution of the images, etc. I winded up canceling my subscription to this box.
