A bit of a disappointment. The one clue was only found in the final envelope which made it a little hard to come to a proper conclusion. I would like to try another again sometime but in two minds to spend the money and maybe get another “dud” like this. Hopefully this is something that can be sorted out so it won’t happen again to other clients.
Also didn’t know that the Internet could be a source. I am aware that there was a link put on the “how to play” sheet but it is a bit misleading with the url containing “answers”.
I don’t understand why this story even had to include the sister… objective 1 was great and we could follow it.. but at the end… the sister… that made no sense at all🙈
We really enjoyed solving the hiker. We have a very competitive family so it took us much quicker than expected. Loved the packaging and case material. Was lots of fun, a bit easier than expected.
This is the fourth case my friend and myself did together and by far the best one yet.
It was very interactive with all the QR codes to the dropbox links, the Instagram page and Magnolias website.
It required much thought and deliberation - much more than the previous cases we have done.
Very good job.
We had so much fun solving this case and getting dressed up.
Definitely keen to try the harder cases now.
Highly recommend this, so we'll put together and thought out.
We got this for Valentine’s Day and had high hopes. We’ve done one of these before (Seaside Homicide) and we absolutely loved it, so of course we hoped for the same with The Hunt. My girlfriend was really excited about this one too, as she grew up on a farm in the Eastern Cape and thought she would relate to this one more.
I see many other reviews of this case also complain about lack of evidence and the result not making much sense. While that’s correct, the part that disappointed me the most was the massive amount of spelling and grammar mistakes. Almost every single page had between one and five mistakes… You guys desperately need an editor or a Grammarly subscription. It’s careless and very unprofessional.
The poorly thought out case, lack of evidence and countless grammatical errors suggest this was rushed. I did not see this coming from the same people who created Seaside Homicide (hands down one of the best couple activities I’ve ever experienced).
All in all, please take your time when creating these products. You clearly know what you’re doing, but my view of your standard of quality has dropped through the floor. I’d love to do another, but am now skeptical in which one I should buy. Are they all great and The Hunt was just rushed? Or are they all poor quality and I got lucky the first time?
I’m doubting becoming a repeat customer.
My husband and I had such fun solving this case. It kept us engaged. We did a sushi and on the case eve. The pack is so well done, everything feels so real. I highly recommend this case.
Did it for Valentines and it was fantastic. We loved it and look forward to getting a new one. Great quality and attention to details. Well done you guys. Such fun.
This was my first time solving a case and I truly enjoyed it!
The file seems very "professional" and it was very exciting.
Other than a few misprints/spelling errors we had all the information we required.
My boyfriend and I love problem solving and digging deep and we ended up solving all the objectives correctly. It worked well as we were able to use my audit knowledge and his engineering thought process to figure out passwords and the motive successfully.
I will definitely do more of these in future.
We really enjoyed solving the case. The quality of the material is fantastic!
The first objective isn't possible to crack without the hint.
The evidence missed crucial detail to lead us detectives to the answer in objective 2.
The final solution was disjointed with no actual evidence leading to the killer and motive. A good story line that could have benefited from being a 4 to 5 objective case without having an ending that is so rushed.
Also we recieved the incorrect solution in the pack which now has ruined it for us buying that case file.
Excellent idea...poor execution
This case was fun to complete but in our opinion the needed evidence was not present. I don't know if we were missing something but others seem to feel the same as us.
Other cases were much better so I would suggest to rather do them if you can only do one.
We enjoyed this case very much. It was much better than the previous case we did and all the evidence that was needed was there.
The way you need to solve this one makes it very submersible.
Wow! Incredibly engaging and fun. The detail and thought that went into preparing the case file is absolutely amazing. We were captured every step of the way and I think the experience is amplified when you see how much effort is put into this (interview sheets, voice recordings, images, etc). I wish I could do it all over again. Next we are tackling Deadly Inheritance. I can’t wait to see how much knowledge and skills from Silent Symphony will make me a better detective for Deadly Inheritance!
Only recommendation: include a sticker for us in the file that says “Solved” so we can paste it on the envelope after solving the case ;)
Bro!! I’m deadass in shock !! Like what the hell!! This case was NOT lit. Like totally didn’t make sense. Take it down as 5/5 and make it -5/5 dawg! Wasn’t impressed. Way too much nonsense going on in this. Y’all just used off cuts of a case that didn’t work
Most of the evidence supplied was not useful or had hardly anything to do with the answer required. There were a lot of typos and dates incorrect which misleads you. Definitely not a 4/5 rating for difficulty, answers are far too obvious.
We did it for a Valentine's date, we solved it very quickly and it kept our attention throughout. The packaging were high quality and the clues link up perfectly. Enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend this one. Can't wait to do the next one.
We bought this mistary for valentine's, and we had so much fun. 😁 We can't wait to get more misterys to solve. Will definitely recommend this to anyone that wants something different to do that's out of the normal.
Thank you On the case for making thinking and solving problems exiting.
Quite frustrating. The answers made no sense and only afterwards when using the answer key we noted that not all clues were shared. This takes away from the experience.
Can someone please tell me what papers needs to go in what envelopes for the initial setup?
Had to reverse engineer the game which kind of defeats the object?
We ordered Hillwood Horror and had an absolute BLAST solving the case! The product is excellently designed and super immersive. The attention to detail is mind blowing and we will most definitely be doing another case soon!!! 5⭐️
My expectations were high based on the high reviews. It took us 30 minutes not 90. Objective 1 was solved without any difficulty and perhaps we had clues missing but there was nothing hinting at the answer to the second objective and we were left with more questions. Maybe the other mysteries are better but I dont feel motivated to find out.
I give it 5 stars but a difficulty rating of two stars, l am a Certified and Registered Private investigator it had me on my edge of my seat but its always one of the 5 Motives of murder but Jealousy is always evident when you look closely the facts never lie
Well done
In objective 4 the bonus objective was listed as the same as the normal objective. Both said “who murdered fulton” this ruined it a bit. Also objective one said you had to use the map to find out where the murder took place but there were so many places it could have happened other than the conductor lounge. I don’t understand how the map was enough to determine this… other than that we really really enjoyed it
