Likewise, if one player is comfortable using the app (and reading all the flavor text) and doesn't mind not looking inside the box, then you could choose to ignore the app's requests to switch player, and leave it always with the same person.
Do you feel compelled to see everything there is? From a game flow perspective, it might be a good thing to avoid rotating the box too often - players can split the sides among themselves, and rotate the box only when they're stuck. As you make progress in the game (enter the right code, use the right item, and so on), you'll be asked to remove Location cards from the box, making it easier to view some sections and allowing you to "reach" more things when using the app.īefore you start that timer, have a chat with your teammates, and try to figure how best to tackle the box.Note that whenever you make a mistake (enter the wrong code, try to look at something that isn't there, etc.), 20 seconds are removed from your remaining time. The app works in a similar manner for entering codes (you pick coordinates, select "Enter Code", and if a code/password needs to be provided here, you'll be able to input it) and using items (you pick coordinates, select "Use Item" and get a list of the cards you already have).Note that you could possibly be told that the thing you want to look at "cannot properly be reached yet". You might also be asked to draw one of the Object cards. If you select one that is, you'll get a bit of additional info. You select the right coordinates in the app, then you'll get a list of items that may or may not be present on the location card. The app can be used to gather info about whatever you manage to see inside the box.The copy I played had a set of "official" penlights, but any light source can be used. It is suggested to keep the box at eye level, by piling it on top of other game boxes. Once the game begins, players are allowed to look into all the tiny "windows" around the game box, to peek at its contains.The "blue" side of any given card is the "less spoily" one, but ideally players should look at the Location cards as little as they can. During the initial setup, the entire deck must be inserted in the card slits at the top of the box, based on coordinates found on each card side. They're double-sided, fully-illustrated pictures that constitute the gist of the game. Location cards are a lot more interesting.Object cards are numbered cards that are revealed to the group whenever the app says so - a fairly standard system. A scenario is basically two sets of cards.

Aside from the box' contents, the game also requires a free app (available on iOS and Android).Additional scenarios should be sold separately in the future. The game is scenario-based, with two such scenarios included in the game box.There's an outer packaging that contains another box (open, with a plastic base), inside of which you can stow the rest of game material, but that inner box itself is one of the main game components.
While most "escape room in a box" games are just referring to packaging, "Mystery House" is genuinely played inside its box.Our Return & Refund Policy provides detailed information about options and procedures for returning your order.
