Not very intuitive
I'm a HUGE Escape Room, Escape the Crate, and Mystery Box fan. I've found that Deadbolt Mystery Society boxes do not have a very clear direction. The material that is printed is well done and while the boxes are OK, I find myself having to look at the hints because there isn't really a 'flow' to the game. I find after checking the hints, the path to go on is convoluted, and what they've instructed to look at doesn't necessarily tie into the current path. Some of the hints are spot on and I have a 'duh' moment, but other times I have no idea how I was supposed to know to look at 'XXXX'. I've done 4 boxes so far and some are better than others. Would give a 7/10
