It was my first try
It was my first try at something like this. Maybe it was my inexperience but having every file need a password with no clear place to start was frustrating. I was doing this alone and it has taken me longer than 3 hours. Thanks for the reply. I understand the process better and have already ordered another box! 😊

Hi Marsha, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. In your mystery you should have a Start Here instruction sheet that tells you how our mysteries work. Then, you should have a Beginning Brief that provides you with the scenario of the case and then gives you a starting point towards the end for your investigation. Files that are password protected are done so to give you the feeling of progressing through solving the case. Each file that you unlock is like getting a break in the case. We have both hint files and solutions files for each mystery on our website, in addition to a Facebook Hint Group for our members. And 3 hours solo is great! On average based on DMS member feedback, our mysteries take 2.5- 3 hours to solve. Feel free to email us and we will be happy to assist you in any way that we can to make your experience the best that we can.

Extraordinarily fast shipping
Extraordinarily fast shipping! The boxes are also always a delight to discover, but the fact we didn't have to wait more than a week was really the icing on the cake.

Best mystery box company by far
I love the intricate detail in the story lines along with the variety of puzzles. The customer service, and quick response whether there's a problem or someone is just stumped on a puzzle is top notch.

Best of the boxes
My husband and I have been enjoying our ‘Deadbolt Date Nights’ since 2020. Each and every box has been a fabulous mystery- intriguing, challenging, surprising, and fun.

Great Company With Transparent Subscription Model
The games by DMS contain the perfect blend of puzzle solving within a narrative detective framework. The storylines are very engaging and create a narrative thread connecting the puzzles together and provide a realistic motivation to work through the challenges toward a defined goal. The puzzles themselves are well-designed and formulated to be challenging and intriguing within the context of the game, yet not unnecessarily tedious. Additionally, they are very clear about the terms of their subscriptions and make everything abundantly clear. Overall one of the best brands in this genre of game.
