Filigree in Shadow
Built well over a century ago, a quintessential Victorian home would become the chosen abode of many a family. Over the span of several decades the various homeowners would initially experience the jubilation of owning such a tall, stately and regal home. But you never really know what life has in store for you when you take up residence in a house that has its own agenda. Some homes are intent on expelling their human occupants, one way or another...
There are terrifying secrets hiding in the filigree walls of Hampstead Heath. They can sneak up behind your back and engulf you should you dare walk its halls. Be careful: nothing haunts us more than eerie shadows lurking between the walls. Enter at your own risk.
Synopsis
In 1873, renowned architect Henry Griggs set out to build what would eventually become his masterpiece; a palatial home for him and his family. This was a happy time for the Griggs family, a time of hopeful anticipation and most of all a dream come true for Henry. But, shortly after construction began on the home, tragedy befell the family and what began as a dream turned into a nightmare.
From that time forward the house had many owners, all of whom were exposed to otherworldly terrors and all of whom met their fateful end. Now you must sort through the archives of Hamstead Heath and find what is at the core of this haunting mystery.
Wherever you live, whatever corner of the earth you inhabit, Filigree in Shadow will transport you to this forlorn location through photographs, clippings, memos and more. This tale will culminate with an artifact so frightening and a burden so heavy, there will be nowhere to hide.

I enjoyed this experience. The code was fun to decipher and not difficult--I had translated the little notes before the package with the cipher arrived. The story was engaging and the world felt rich. Would love more stories/packages like this!
It took me some time to decide to order a Mysterious Package, because it was not clear what I would receive. On the other hand, knowing what I would receive would ruin the surprise. So one day, I decided to take the plunge and order *Filigree in Shadow* and let me tell you, it's worth every penny.
It's amazing how the people behind the Mysterious Package Company are thorough, creative and thoughtful. The attention to details is impressive. I'm hooked, this will not be my last!
Do it if you dare, you won't be disappointed!
This is a review for all three mailings in this experience.
Every time I dig into one of MPC's experiences I am so impressed with the level of detail in every single piece, but this one took that to a whole other level. Each mailing was just enough to unfold the story a little bit more without revealing too much to quickly, and more than enough to hook me into the narrative. I even did a little side research on the net based on some of the pieces of documentation which made it feel like I was involved in a real investigation. The puzzle aspect is challenging but not in a frustrating way, and the overall narrative is so well written that you will love the ending. Highly recommended if you enjoy the macabre and puzzle solving! Well done again MPC!
Well worth the money. An amazing horror experience - I loved following the story and deciphering all the mysterious artifacts. 10/10
I will say I didn’t enjoy this as much as “The King in Yellow,” but my wife and I like solving puzzles. This one has some elements that invited deciphering, but it wasn’t really necessary to complete the story. We did enjoy the story, and the materials were of the highest quality. We will definitely purchase another experience, and would recommend this one to anyone who likes an engrossing scary story.
Thank you so much for your review. We're always delighted to hear feedback about our experiences and we love that we appeal to a wide range of individual preferences.
