Mobile Escape: Family Secrets

I where a little disappointed about the difficulty of the, but this was properly due to me expecting it to be really hard, and having done a lot of cyphers recently   also helped.

That said the story and the puzzles are really well thought out and works well with the small size of the content in the envelope.

Would not recommend this for more than 2 players.

Still looking forward to try the next episodes of the small size 12 episode treasure hunt/adventure or what ever it turns out to be.

This is the first episode of a 12-part series; each episode is delivered in a single standard-sized envelope. This format has the great advantage that the game is very reasonably-priced, and doesn't attract hefty P&P or import duty charges when delivered from its native Canada.  It also means that the components are relatively small, and largely paper-based. But the production quality is good, and there is variety in the styles of printed matter - a map, a cut-out compass and coins, some letters etc.
Both the theme ("long forgotten pirate treasure inheritance") and the puzzles themselves were relatively predictable and a bit cipher-heavy for more liking - largely relying on process over any significant "A-ha!" moments. However, it provided around 2 hours entertainment for under £10, which was very good value for money, and I look forward to playing the next instalments in the series.
