Society of Curiosities Opiniones 

Great culture of this company. Great games! Thank you!

It's a good product but I had a horrible time with customer service. My order was processed but not mailed and I didn't find out about the error until the day before Christmas. They said they would send it express so I would get it the 26th or 27th but then didn't. It got there the next week after I had already gone home so I wasn't there to see anyone open their present and they didn't figure out whose was whose so it didn't work out the way I wanted it to. Additionally customer service said they'd give me a code for a free online game for my trouble and then gave me the same game that was free with purchase. I didn't think it was unreasonable to question this but at this point they ghosted me.

I love all of the Fairy Tale Files games! It's fun to see what mischief or evil the infamous characters in fairyland are engaged in and then try to solve the "who done It." One of my favorites is Sweet Witch Inferno.

All of the puzzles in Sweet Witch are immersive and engaging. The difficulty level for me was perfect - not too easy but not too hard to leave me frustrated.

The Fairy Tales Chronicle newspaper is delightful with all kinds of stories and nuggets of information to help in solving the mystery. The beautifully designed suspect and crime scene cards are helpful in eliminating suspects.

Kudos to the team at SOC! You are brilliant and I can't wait to play more of your games.

The game is going to be a Christmas gift, so it hasn't been played yet. It may very well be a great game, but just opening the box was extremely underwhelming. There were packets and things to read, but I get that most of it's online. However, the game didn't come in a box. All of the packets were just in the shipping box, which got kind of beat up in the mail. So now to give the gift, I have to find a box for it. And for some reason, a page of a mommy magazine fell out from among the other papers. The game I got was the treasure hunt one, and the page from the magazine was how to make pirate flags. Ok, good, relevant info, but could you have dressed it up a bit? (I can literally see where the page was torn from the magazine. The little paper bits weren't even trimmed off.) So now if I want my recipient to have this information, I have to trim down the page and glue it on card stock, etc. The total of my order was $53. For that price, this should have all been done for me. I gave three stars because I'm going to assume the game is good anyway. Over all, very unimpressed.

Edit: I just went back and reviewed everything that comes with the game. The list does mention ripped magazine pages. It still seems weird though - why a modern magazine for a treasure that's supposed to be ancient?

Edit #2: I spoke with a member of the company and she sent me the missing piece of the game. She was also very attentive to my needs as a customer and emailed me back quickly. Much appreciated!!

EU customers beware, the company is not dealing with the importing costs to the EU properly which results in extra handling fees if you would order their products.

Update: got in contact with them to solve this, although the extra handling costs to EU aren't resolved, they didn't make any problem to refund the remaining chapters. Therefore I update the score from 2 to 4 stars.

so far so good. i am absolutely loving the circus puzzle. i will be signing up for a membership!

+ The satisfaction of opening your package, exhilarating!
+ Society's gorgeous package is screwing with my perception of reality!
+ Custom made websites to facilitate your research are a signature for this company, and they've gone even bigger and better. Wow.
+ What really gained my respect for the content designers was that they really do their due diligence and research.
+ A sheer joy to experience while staying in, and easily ranks as one of the best at-home games I've played.

A huge fan of this adventure and can't wait for the next chapter! My only complaint is that I have to wait 3 months for the next adventure! That said, I appreciate the reasoning for that. Unlike many mass market games that are pumping out new ones left and right, this kind of integrity with story, seamless technology, and engaging and fun puzzles takes time and effort. Thank you to the creators and you have a fan in me :).

I purchased The Search For Edus Madok’s Treasure to have something fun to do while staying at home and to support a great local business. What I received was hours of fun. The storyline was interesting. The mystery was challenging and I loved the variety of puzzles it included. I’m glad I bought a subscription. Future “adventures” will help pass the time between new escape room themes, once Kauai Escape Room opens.

Tonight I (well, wifey and I) completed the first adventure from the Society of Curiosities, Captain Madok's Treasure! This is a solid "A" project! For a freshmen adventure, I really enjoyed it! There is a fun mystery to solve, some great use of technology that actually adds to the game (as opposed to some that pull you out of the game), great physical props (this all fit in an envelope, so no trinkets, just good paper-stuff), and some really cool puzzles to solve. This is primarily a puzzle-type game with some deduction and seems to have a mix of puzzles that are mid-level challenging (plus/minus a few degrees), but the hint system is fantastic for when you get stuck or challenged, so you will always be able to continue at your own pace!
I highly recommend this product and if you have not already purchased...run out today! It was just....fun!

It took us about 4 hours to play through the first mission with 4 people, and everyone had contributed to a breakthrough by the time we were done. We really really liked the elements being spread out between physical objects, text messages, and websites.

My one note is that it helps a lot to have a printer to make copies of digital content, in case everyone doesn't have their own phone, or in case no one has anything bigger than a phone available to view content. It would be nice to have more of that content provided in the physical package, locked behind 'envelope 1, 2, 3, etc's until the player 'finds' them in the game.

I'm real happy with how this turned out, and I'd love to see what the next installment looks like!

This was fantastic! They are not just game designers but excellent story tellers! You get to ride through puzzles and challenges while exploring and learning about a world you did not know was out there. Really immersive, fun and just though enough to last hours. I enjoyed it with my partner, but this is the a game you can play with friends or enjoy solo!

Really enjoyed this immersive home-adventure ! The quality of the intrigue and the tools they give you really makes you doubt what is fiction and what is real, and therefore, you are hooked for 2hrs +. This game is quite intricate, a lot of links to make between clues and attention to details is crucial, so if you are beginners, be prepare for quite a challenge.

Excellent work S of C, looking forward for futur launches !

Super original and engaging game! Loved how it used various types of puzzles: from physical puzzles, to ones around a song or even ones you needed to search google to find clues. Completely different than anything I've ever tried and I am absolutely hooked.

It challenged our research skills and attention to detail in an immersive and unique puzzle game you can play from the comfort of your home. They really figured out how to bring the excitement of an escape room right to your home. It’s a great way to spend an evening doing something fun with the family. I can’t wait to play more of their games in the future.

This puzzle is fun and engaging. After playing their brick and mortar escape room, we were so excited to be able to try one of their puzzles in the comfort of our home. The storyline is well thought out and in depth, pulling you in and keeping you interested. The star of this game are the puzzles, which vary in type, complexity and require differing skill sets to solve. We loved it and can’t wait for the next one!

I like escape rooms and puzzles... and this whole pandemic affair is really getting in the way... I thought I was just going to have to wait. Me and my wife played the Society of Curiosities game sitting in our kitchen, after the kids went to bed, and: WOW! It was as intense, and rewarding, and fun as the best escape rooms I have gone to. The puzzles were challenging, creative, aesthetically pleasing. The narrative story arc was compelling and the use of all sorts of different real world mediums was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves into the game. Well done, Curiosities, we'll be back for more. I am hooked.

So much fun! Feel like playing an escape room around the world without mooving from my home!
Excellent puzzles, good rythm, well thought!

We played the game from society of curiosities and it was really good. The riddles and puzzles were fun. I can't wait for the next game. Good job!!!
