If you're looking for a unique subscription to gift this holiday season, The Hincks Gazette is worth your consideration! This subscription from Bluefish Games is great for anyone who likes logic games and puzzles.
*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.
The Hincks Gazette is currently available in two volumes and is available from Cratejoy (links at the end of the review). Here are their pricing options:
- Monthly: $25 per month
- Three Months: $72 every three months ($24 per month)
- Six Months: $138 every six months ($23 per month)
- 12 Months: $264 every 12 months ($22 per month)
Shipping is $4 to U.S. addresses. Your first box will ship within three days of your purchase and then following boxes on the 7th of each month.
The Hincks Gazette, as the name suggests, is a newspaper puzzler. The "Valued Subscriber" envelopes seen above contain two copies of each puzzle and the blue envelope has an extra gift. The other insert on the far right contains instructions and more information about the box.
I love the creativity of this subscription! The newspapers are two-sided with real text articles and puzzles. They all weave together to create the puzzling experience.
The physical newspaper matches up with the Hincksville website, which is where you'll actually complete the puzzles. Below are screenshots from the first edition, and as you can see, there are plenty of hints available (up to seven for this first question) that you can choose to read with no penalty. You can complete the puzzles at your leisure -- the main point is to just have fun with them!
The final item is unrelated to the puzzles but still matches the theme of the box. There's a postcard with a pencil attached from "Mails by Snails."
Bottom Line: I did a little bit of the first puzzle to get a sense of how it works for this review and I'm looking forward to finishing them all up. The Hincksville Gazette is a fun way to keep yourself entertained and challenge your mind at the same time! I think anyone who enjoys puzzles and mysteries will have a fun time with this subscription.
