The Mystery Experiences Company Reviews (%countItem)

I subscribed and paid and order was never delivered. I have emailed multiple times and they are dismissing me with no refund or product sent.
I purchased this murder mystery box for my father for Christmas in December. I accidentally put my street address with his ZIP Code. I contacted the company multiple times to let them know about this earth and they continue to dismiss me and tell me that because I gave him the wrong address it was delivered to the wrong place. The address doesn't exist so I know that they received the box back. I've asked him multiple times to either refund my money or send the box to the correct address. And they stop responding and except to tell me that this case has been closed. This is horrible business I want my money back and I want to make sure that the review was posted against his company

Desired Outcome

I would like my money refunded or the product delivered to the correct address immediately of *** XXXXX

We do not accept responsibility for shipping errors caused by the customer providing an incorrect shipping address. This policy is communicated to all customers in our terms of service. We will not be taking any further action in response to this issue.

I ordered a 3 month subscription for my spouse as a gift at the beginning of August, 2018. The understanding made to me by the company was that I would receive a box for September, October, and November. I did receive the box for September, which was shipped at the end of August. I did not receive a box for October, which should have been shipped at the end of September. I sent multiple emails and received a response that I would get a box in November. No big deal. The company skipped a month and sent me my 2nd box at the end of October and I received it for November. I then did not receive a box in December, which should have been shipped at the end of November. I emailed the company several times. The only response was that they would ship my next box at the end of December. Well.... that box has not been shipped. It is now January 8, 2020. I again have emailed the company several times. There is no way to call them. There is no way to contact them on social media. I have no where else to turn except to file a complaint about the company since they are unresponsive.

Horrible customer service and terms of service. Rude. They can raise prices at any time for any Reason. Revdex.com should be doing something about them.
They charged me more for my 2nd subscription then my first and when I emailed them about it they were very dismissive and rude. As a paying customer I expect to be treated better. They were not helpful in dealing with this issue - Giving me one line emails like "you agreed to our terms" " we charged you correctly" come to find out they can raise prices at any time for any reason. My bad for agreeing to that but what a horrible business. I expressed how disappointed I was and they responded with "someone needs a hug" and " we work with 21 century fox so we'll be okay without your business ". I have all the email threads. Now reading all of the horrible reviews against them - even under the name Murder Mystery Box - having F and D rates on Revdex.com this company doesn't care about its paying customers. He actually said to me that they've been in business 4 years and made 8.5 million. Wallace is One of the rudest people ever. I think Revdex.com needs to do something than just collecting reviews

Desired Outcome

apology from Wallace and owner and acknowledgement of rudeness. Wallace should be reprimanded and fired from customer service. Customer service training

This complaint is not valid. We will not be taking any action in response to it.

I did not get what I paid for. Clues did not work. Couldn't complete my mystery box.
Unfortunately, one of the clues did not work for anyone in my group. There was a phone number that, according to the solution website, was supposed to have a voice recording to help us solve the murder. There was no voice recording. It was sad that we had to go to the solutions page instead of solving it for ourselves. The next day I sent an email regarding the issues of the phone number. I was told I was mistaken and that the number was working. I tried it on multiple different phones. No voice message. The customer service person that was emailing with me (Wallace B) was everything but respectful. He was rude and talked down to me. I then called the number with my screen recording on (with audio) to show him it absolutely wasn't working. The response I got after I emailed the recording was - "how about add a 1 to the number". Tried that. Of course it did not work and I recorded that as well. This man is lying to me about the number working. How is it that it doesn't work for me and my friends only and I'm being told it worked for 20,000 other people? I feel ripped off and I feel like I was treated very poorly when I brought it to their attention. In now way did I expect to be talked down to about an issue they needed to resolve. I will tell everyone not to use this company.

Desired Outcome

All I wanted was to try this again and see if a different box with a different mystery could work. I didn't ask for my money back, I just wanted a new one free of charge because I didn't get what I paid for.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response • Nov 26, 2019

We stand by our products. Unfortunately, the problems described were the result of user error and not the result of any defect in our products. We will not be taking any action in response to this complaint.

company will not cancel my subscription even after three emails.
I ordered a 3 month subscription in February 2019. I was billed in May, July and September for an additional 3 months each time. I sent emails in May and July cancelling this with no response. This is ridiculous.

Desired Outcome

I want the company to cancel the subscription and refund all monies charged since February 2019.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response • Nov 26, 2019

It is very easy to cancel a subscription renewal in the member's user account and this customer was advised on how to do so multiple times. Unfortunately, she chose not to follow the instructions so her subscription renewed pursuant to the terms that she agreed to. We will not be taking any further action in response to this complaint.

I would leave zero stars but this is not an option. This business has a terrible product and the worst customer service EVER. They will take your money as long as they can figure out how. There is no one month purchase. Even if it says month-to-month, it's a subscription. They have an excuse for everything, and most of it is just ridiculous. Their customer support answers in real time and s/he is obnoxious, ridiculous, and so out of line for a business. She may answer here, and you can see there will be excuses and zero help.

I tried to use my debit card to purchase a box, it got declined, so I used my credit card, which was accepted. Both were charged
I have a new debit card, (expires 5/22), my old one expires 5/19. It would not go through using either one with either cvc or expiration date, so I used my credit card. My credit card went through it was accepted. However both were charged. When I emailed them regarding the matter I got a response saying the the charging process is automated and that duplicated transactions will be looked into. It however won't be a duplicate transaction with it being to different cards. I told them I would take care of it and contacted my bank and credit card company, they responded with they will contact the authorities and the attorney general will be in touch with me.

Desired Outcome

I want a full refund to both cards. This is terrible customer service on both ends.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response • Nov 26, 2019

This complaint is fabricated. The customer's account doe not reflect any of the claims described. WE will take no action on a false complaint.

They have a serious error in the clue book. When I contacted them they ignored it and proceeded to tell me I dont know how to play the game. I was refused to talk tonsoneone else. Once I canceled my subscription I talked with 2 other people because they just tell me I can only talk to the one assigned to me originally.
This is a horrible company. They dont talk with you they just say their product is perfect and you dont know how to play. Then they suggest you cancel the subscription. I suspect this is one person who plays the role of several people. They all used the same tone and same language.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response • Nov 20, 2018

Unfortunately, a very small number of customers have difficulty solving our mysteries and become frustrated. Although we tried to explain to this customer where he had gone astray, he insisted that there must be an error in the mystery since he couldn't figure it out. This is simply not true. We create mysteries in partnership with some of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. We are always happy to answer questions from our customers, but this man became abusive and profane in his communications with several members of our staff. We do not allow our staff to be treated this way.

Customer Response • Nov 20, 2018

Its nothing to with understanding the game.
I am not sure why it is so hard for them to understand the game book give one name as a person killed and identified hin as Steve Artusi then on the website where they explain each charaters envolvment in the murder they identified the person killed as SHAWN ARTUSI. Shawn is rhe person who was actually killed. The game misprints a name and leads to a search for a charater who does not exist. That is my problem with them. Its a clear mistake and they want to say something completely differently. All I wanted to do was notify them so they could correct it. Instead they want to go off and say I dont understand the game. However that led to learning how rude they are and got mad because they want to take it to another explanation and invent a charater instead of just say whoops we are sorry we will fix that.

Unable to cancel even after an email from a team member that my subsciption was cancelled on 1/8/18. Still being billed.
Could not find the section on my account info to cancel. After researching for quite some time, as in hours, found you have to go to an entirely different website to log into to find the "as simple as a mouse click away" section to cancel. It is "mysteryexperiences.cratejoy.com. the only email on their website is "***@mysteryexperiences.com. there is no way to cancel when logging in. I sent an email on 1/7/18 and an email reply from one of their team members, Allen, stated, I have cancelled your membership at your request. I was then billed for the 1/2018 membership package, which was not received. I called my cc company, Capital One, to file a dispute. On 2/15/18 I received an email from "***@mysteryexperiences.com that my dispute was invalid and memberships cannot be cancelled via email. I received another email tonight that membership was cancelled today. However, the 2/2018 membership has already been billed. So now there will be charges for 1/2018 and 2/2018 that should not have been billed.

Desired Outcome

Please ask Mystery Experiences to honor the 1/8/18 acknowledgement by one of their team members and to refund the 1/18 and 2/18 billings of $34.98 each. Also ask them to write that cancellations can only be done at a different website, mysteryexperiences.cratejoy.com. Thank you.

This person has confused us with another company. She was dealing with the Mysterious Package Company (based in Canada). We are the Mystery Experiences Company (based in Florida). We have tried to advise this individual of her error but she does not seem to understand.

Customer Response • Mar 03, 2018

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Dear Revdex.com, There is no mistake or failure to understand on my part. Within 3 minutes of finally figuring out how to cancel membership, which is daunting task, I received a confirmation email that my subscription was canceled. Soon after I received another email from the same person that had signed the first saying I was mistaken and I had confused them with a different company. I have an email from Mystery Package company that verifies I have never had n account with them. The charges are not from that company. I am forwarding their email to you. I will do my best to email those emails to you.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
This website states how easy it is to cancel. Wrong, it took me at least an hour to dig through their posts to find out it is a different website you have to go to in order to cancel your membership. I have e charged again on my credit card for something I do not want and have tried and printed out their confirmation of them canceling my membership. Honestly this is one of the worst experiences I have e had with on line ordering. I have and have given you the Revdex.com the proof. This is absolutely ridiculous. I am now being charged for product never received. Please help.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response • Apr 09, 2018

We are not the correct company. This person is confused. Her complaint relates to The Mysterious Package Company. That is not us. We are The Mystery Experiences Company based in Florida. The other company is based in Canada.

I bought this for my wife for Mothers day this year. She loves Mysteries and it seemed like a solid gift. Because she is pregnant she hasn't been able to do them because of lack of energy. I was extremely surprised when I saw a $200 charge on my credit card this week for auto renewal of the service. Number one I didn't know it was a service. It was just 6 boxes I paid for. Number 2 when did you sneak in this subscription? When I contacted and asked for a refund the women who runs the slap dash company was quick to say she doesn't refund anything. I told her I didn't know it was a subscription and as I hadn't revived any of the boxes that I didn't know why I could't be refunded. I have contacted American Express to hopefully have my back on this product I haven't received and hopefully they will be able to refund me. But her attitude of "you need to keep your commitments you agreed to" is off the charts rude at best. I told her I didn't know there was a subscription I didn't need 6 more and you haven't sent them yet anyway. Just give me the money for services you haven't done.

All you need to know is if her product was worth anything she wouldn't need to lock people into subscriptions and refuse to refund mistaken fake hidden renewals. Stay clear away from this "company." you will not like the experience.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response

Orders with our company are not refundable. We require that our customers honor their financial commitments to us just as we do to them. We provide a high quality, made-to-order product and for that reason do not offer refunds.

Not what they pretend to be selling
I purchased a "mystery experience" that was nothing more than five minutes of "clues" that were for children and a phone number to send me to a movie website. This was a marketing box, and I paid for it. I'm not interested in receiving the "premium" service I paid for because I did not realize what a scam this company was running. I am going to take to social media unless this order pending is cancelled and refunded and my "mystery experience" of marketing collateral for a movie is refunded. I have a decent platform and I am happy to make sure everyone knows what a scam this is, taking photos and posting them online to share.

Desired Outcome

I want the Bedlam box cancelled and refunded, as well as this Orient Express box cancelled. I would also like to removed from the mailing list as I will never give you another penny.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response

We produce high quality mystery experiences for many thousands of happy subscribers. Our mysteries typically take between 2-3 hours to solve and are designed by a Mensa member and best selling author. It is not uncommon for us to receive feedback that a mystery was a little too hard for a customer and that they had to get a little help or it took them longer to solve than expected. The experience described by this customer simply does not comport with the reality of our products or experiences. We are proud of the quality of our mystery experiences and wouldn't change a thing about them. Since our products are limited edition products and are essentially "made-to-order," they are not refundable. We will not be refunding the orders in question.

Customer Response

I'm happy to send photographs so you can see how challenging the supposed mystery was. This is a scam and I've already been sharing in several mystery fan groups, discovering lots of people have issues with this company. I'll be contacting whomever I need to so that I'm refunded. I do not want the box supposedly arriving this month. Cancel and refund that at least, as I'm sure one of the thousands of Mensa members this company has would enjoy it. I'm not one of them, and they're a blatant scam taking advantage of people. It took literally under ten minutes and a child could've done it. This is nothing but marketing collateral for a movie.

Customer Response

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I've had a conversation with several people on social media and this is a recurring issue with this company. I will not be accepting delivery of this box. If they want to steal my money, that's on them, and I can pursue whatever path is needed from there. I did not ask for a refund on the box delivered, but I do not want any future contact from this company and they should have the common sense to refund this box and send it to someone who will want it.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response

Our products are not refundable.

Blocked from both of their Facebook groups and was ignored on every attempt to contact them.
This is a company that sends out mystery boxes each month to solve. After completeing the first month and loving it I was blocked the following month from their Facebook. This wouldn't have been a big deal but all the clues, the solutions and the discussion groups are on Facebook. You cannot solve this box without the Facebook page. They have. K telephone number that I could find so I contacted them through email three times and no response. I waited a few weeks then wrote a message on their other Facebook page. I was then blocked from that Facebook page again with no warning or explanation. I have never written anything rude, offfensive or really much of anything at all that would warrant a block. So they took my money but refused to let me into the group that would have helped me solve the mystery. There really is no point in this subscription without the Facebook group. That is stealing. Taking my money and not delivering on their promises. I wrote an angry letter expressing my frustration at being ignored and asked to cancel. They responded in minutes. I then wrote right back and asked for the solution, again they wrote back within minutes. I wrote back asking why I was blocked and why I hadn't received any responses to my previous emails. Nothing. I waited a few days and wrote two more emails and never got a response. They are being vindictive for no reason against me and they took my money without giving me the full experience without any explanation. I cannot for the life of me understand why they picked on me. If someone else logs into Facebook the pages are still up, it's only when I try the pages that it says I have no access. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but realized they are trying to block me and ignore me. And again, with no provocation on my part. I actually loved this subscription and was so excited to keep going at it. Whoever is doing the customer service and website upkeep is taking out their anger or frustration against their customers. I don't see how they will succeed if they continue with these practices.

Desired Outcome

I would just like a response and a reason as to why I was blocked. The most frustrating part is the lack of understanding and I am very sad to not be a costumer any longer. I want a refund for my last months box since I wasn't given the tools needed to solve the case. I spent money on them for an incomplete experience.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response

This customer made repeated improper comments in our online discussion group that were in violation of the terms of the group and contrary to the positive, fun environment we strive to maintain. Unfortunately, we had to remove her as a member of the group. We responded to the customer promptly, but she has continued to send repetitive emails that are not productive. We provided this customer with a quality product and delivered everything promised, but she will no longer be allowed to participate.

Customer Response

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I was not responded to when I asked why I was blocked. I never said anything disrespectful or rude. I just said I found a mistake once that left it hard to figure out the solution. I wasn't warned or told of anything. Please tell me exactly what I said that was so offensive? From what I remember I said, I loved solving the mystery and had a great time, the only thing I Is that I was frustrated with was an inaccuracy that left it impossible to narrow the killer down between two people. I emailed letting the company to let them know about the inaccuracy just so they could correct it or at least know about it. You cannot block a person and still take their money. I had no idea I was blocked and didn't found out until I had to figure it out on my own since no one would respond to me. They responded twice to get rid of me but never once when I asked for help as to why the website was down or why I was blocked or why no one would email me. On their website they say the respond to every email, which is untrue. If what I said was so awful that they would block me please show me it and give me either a warning or explanation. I even wrote the innacuracy in the comments and let people know that there was a spoiler. I only said why I found because another commenter asked me what it was. It seems to me they made a mistake and when I just told them about it I was kicked out. Every other mystery package company I have worked with has sent out apologies when an accident happens. It's no big deal. When you are doing such a huge undertaking it's unavoidable to have inaccuracies sometimes, I just figured I could let the company know politely so they could let others know who have had the same issues. Instead they took my money and kicked me out with no way of getting in touch or receiving an answer.

Customer Response

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
You haven't answered any questions. Literally not one answer or provided any proof of any misconduct on my part. I have already cancelled my membership. I just want to keep a record of your behavior as a company.

The Mystery Experiences Company Response

We have provided answers to these questions and will not be responding further. You have been terminated as a member.
