Dispatch: On the Run Review - Box 5

Breakout Games is one of the leading escape room companies in the U.S., and they have a fun subscription box called Dispatch for mystery fans to solve at home! The first series is the "On the Run" storyline.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


The On the Run series has 10 boxes total and is the first story you'll receive when you subscribe. Boxes are $24.99 per month with free shipping. I live in New York and $2 was added for tax.


Box Five in this series takes us to Tanzania. Each month you'll receive a box full of interactive clues, including things like handwritten notes, newspaper clippings, and other physical items. All of the clues are really well made and help immerse you in the story.


So far, Dispatch: On the Run has taken us to countries like Australia and Japan. You're following the disappearance of your best friend James, who is sending you these boxes to help clear his name in the murder of his fiancee.


Aside from the paper clues, the Tanzania box features a bag of stones and a mancala board game. As you can see in the photo above, the board has letters scrambled on it. What I really love about the Dispatch boxes is that all the clues are so well thought out and there's always a ton of detail to pay attention to.




There are always a lot of letters, receipts, and other types of paper clues to dig through. This box is great for a rainy day (or any day you just feel like relaxing at home), because it does take some time to dig in to everything. If you're into mysteries and analytical puzzles, you'll love going through the clues each month!
Bottom Line: The Dispatch boxes are so much fun to comb through. They really make you feel like you're the center of this mystery, and I love searching through the clues each month.
