That was fast! Got a box today that's about the size of a shoebox. It's got that homemade feel that I love. Check out the contents in the spoiler: The box contains two smaller locked cardboard boxes, which themselves are duct taped into the main box. One is the treasure chest, the main objecting of the box. The other is the "three skulls" box. There is a map duct taped to the inside lid of the box, along with a warning not to remove it. My puzzling sixth sense detects a note hidden behind the map...we will see. The rest of the contents are here, and are made up of a rules letter, a sheet of contents, two locked zipper bags, a message in a bottle (bottle is plastic, not glass, sadly), an envelope with an Atari-style skull that is not to be opened yet, and a starting envelope with some goodies in it. Looks good so far! I'll see if I can solve this before Wilson Wolfe arrives, and report back with some news.

Found this on ETSY and finished it this past weekend. For a homemade escape room game it's very good. Expensive but with all of the locks and other props it was well worth it. The puzzles were inventive and some were difficult but with the included hint booklet we were never stuck for very long. We liked that it was ready to play out of the box-no setup was required.

We also purchased and played Oak Island this week. We really enjoyed this one. We're big fans of the EXIT and Unlock series, but Oak Island is quite different with physical props and locks, making it more similar to the "Escape Room in a Box: The Werewolf Experiment" game. However, the quality of the puzzles in Oak Island is much better. The puzzles were very fair, and appropriate for 2-3 players for probably 1.5-2 hours. Although the game definitely looks and feels homemade, we felt the price tag was worthwhile due to the high quality of the puzzles and reasonably immersive theme. The $77 cost is also a nice intermediate spot between the cheaper games and the way more expensive boxes that go for $150 or more.
Finally, although not advertised as such, the game is easily reset for future players. I'm told a 2nd game is on the way and we're definitely looking forward to trying it out when it's available.

5 out of 5 stars So much fun! Well put together game that was not all linear. We had 6 people participating and different groups worked on different parts of the game reducing the time of individuals waiting while a few looked a 1 clue. I would definitely purchase another game from this seller. for perspective, we regularly go to escape rooms and felt this game was challenging and fun.

5 out of 5 stars Shipped quickly and great communication from the fantastic seller. Due to health issues, we haven't been able to actually complete the escape room, but it all looks fantastic.
