Have you ever wanted to go on a real adventure? To see new places, solve riddles, uncover mysteries, and discover something new about the world (and yourself) along the way? That's what
The Enigma Box is all about. At first glance
The Enigma Box looks like a bigger version of the escape room games which have become popular recently, except filled with strange tools, hidden documents, and advanced technology, all to help with an even bigger goal - for you and your companions to find the location of the "Arcanum Arcanorum", the Secret of Secrets, a discovery which will change our understanding of the world and the destiny of humankind.

Sounds a bit much, right? Too good to be true? But...what if it's not? That's the hook, and what a well-crafted hook it is. We see A LOT of Kickstarter campaigns here on Dice Tower News, but I personally have never seen one so intriguing and tempting as this one. The charm of it is in your face from the first description and even the name - "The Enigma Box" - sounds like something cinematic in origin, doesn't it? Like a plot device or a cool prop from a popular film, except it's not a prop - it's a real proposition. See how it's described on it's
campaign page:
"With all the research, enigmas, and new revelations, the team from “The Rhomb” have designed an international challenge and a new form of entertainment which will change the way games are made, revolutionizing and creating a definitive experience never seen before and giving you a chance to discover the "Arcanum Arcanorum", the Secret of Secrets"
While before I had said that it looks like an escape room box, that's not entirely inaccurate although it does fail to describe the scope of the product regardless of it's loftiness.
The Enigma Box not only features 6000 minutes of gameplay but also has "legs" in the form of continued content after it reaches it's initial conclusion . Furthermore, this additional content will still use many of the tools originally available in the box, so the experience isn't as consumable and disposable and it's certainly not as short lived. However, the value of this is far more complicated than I can analyze or describe here, so if you're interested in
