My Daughter was surprised

I ordered this for my daughter to have something to look forward to.
She wanted to include us.
We turned off the movie and had a fun night while she read the intro letter to us! Thank you! You brought fun back to us!

ScareMail has me hooked

I just got my first ScareMail letter the other day. It was so much fun. I could hardly wait to open it and start reading. I loved how there were different components saying Read Me First, Read Me Last. The story already has captured my attention. Now I have to be patient and wait for letter #2.

Well Worth It

I purchased the yearly subscription to Scare.Me and also the Scare.Me box to hold all of the items.

The story is well written and engaging! The items included to make it more immersive do the job well and k can't wait for the next part.

The Scare.Me collectibles box is also really nice! I wasn't expecting it to be made so sturdy and it's now a decoration on the top of my bookshelf.

Overall I'm happy with the quality of both the story, and the quality of the collectable box.

10/10 recommend it if you enjoy thrillers/horror.

My general suggestion is 14+ but each child is different. Scaremail contains disturbing themes, imagery and descriptions. There is no abuse of any kind, child, animal or sexual. There is mild swearing. Minor drug and alcohol references.
