A great challenge !

This was incredible! I’ve done 50+ escape rooms and I felt the same feelings of anxiety, excitement and fun that I would’ve felt in an escape experience. The puzzles were well thought out, the attention to detail was so cool.. I’m seriously floored.
When my girlfriend bought this for me, I will be honest, I was not enthusiastic and very skeptical. I will be buying more of these. Wow. So cool. Thanks guys.
Sue G.
This one was as fun as the others!
Luke D.
Such a blast, and much more difficult than one would think. My girlfriend turned out to be a much better codebreaker than me! This was much easier playing with another person, I couldn't imagine doing it alone. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys puzzles, deciphering challenging codes, and working as a team to solve a great mystery! Fantastic job to the folks at Puzzling Pursuits, looking forward to our next adventure!

It seems hard these days to get people/family to spend quality time together. This turned out to be a great team/family building experience that was fun for everyone !
Michael B.
Fantastic puzzle game! Challenging and fun, will be offering other sets!!!
Gary M.
This puzzle gave us 3 days of enjoyment each evening! Hard but not too hard. Complex but not too complex. Great story line. Ingenious clues. Wonderful creativity. Overall, well done. We are hooked.
Colin B.
very well made, excellent puzzles and challenges!
Andy G.
Wow oh wow! I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this game! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I have blackbrim and two games from the takedown and cannot wait to play them. Great production quality and thought put into this and I applaud you all! Thank you!

I enjoy puzzle games like 5th column, especially when the historical topic is of interest to me

Challenging and fun puzzles
Additionally, I needed a special format to be able to see some of the puzzles, due to a disability, and they sent PDFs of the relevant clues reprinted so I could read them. Wonderful company!

I even dressed up in 40's type clothing, including leather-soled shoes, listening to faint 40's music through a speaker that looks like a radio from that era. Really helped to build the atmosphere, and it was a lot of fun 'acting' this game out. Hope you make more like this!!
David
I had to lean on the clues quite a bit. Maybe next game I will try with a few people instead of by myself. It was very difficult, but fun! Congrats to anyone who figured all this out on their own!
Bogdan T.
Great game night!
Chris
This was so much fun! Each step was different and engaging, the kids were able to get involved, and it flowed very well. Fantastic product, we will be buying more!
Brad M.
My wife and I had an incredible time with these puzzles. The level of thought that goes into all of these games is amazing!
Dylan P.
We really enjoyed the experience. The puzzles were extremely challenging but they never felt unfair.
Wayne B.
I got this as a present for my wife’s birthday. The whole family enjoyed it. We liked tha fact that there were different kinds of puzzles, so if one of us got stuck, someone else might have a better chance of solving it. We also liked the fact that we could go online and get hints if we all got stuck (which did happen a few times!). All in all, it was a great experience!
Mary B.
Loved the challenge and historical theme.
Jane B.
After a long hiatus my sister and I got back to solving. As usual,
It was great! When’s the next one coming out?
Catie
We loved this box!! It was challenging, but doable.
Tony
This is my favorite puzzle game company. I just wish they would make more. The game has more puzzles than other murder/room escape games. For example hunt a killer is a lot of reading then guessing at who the killer was. Puzzling pursuits have several layers of puzzles with a story background. So if you like solving puzzles, this is the company to get games from.
Dietra N.
A great game with just the right amount of difficulty without any leaps that you couldn’t make. As an avid player of such games, this is a real winner!!! More PLEASE!
Bob G.
As usual an incredible ride. Stumped us in places for a while but not for long. I love how interactive these mysteries and adventures are and have now completed all seven of them. Can’t wait for more.
Felipe L.
Challenging puzzles, great story. Had a fun time. Would definitely recommend.
Michael
Loved it but challenging
Alexandre
A bit complicated but that's what I paid for. Glad the website is here to help give hints and verify solutions along the way!
Kelly H.
Great time. Great puzzle. Would like more puzzles on this storyline!
Donna D.
This was a fun game. Challenging and clever.
Annette C.
As a solo detective, this took me a little bit longer than what a team want to take to do this. However, I had a lot of fun. I do these types of games for both the fun and for the brain teasers. It’s important to me that I keep exercising my mind as I get older, and these games are perfect for the job. I can’t wait to see the second box is going to entail. At least, I hope there will be a box two!!!
Annette C.
I played the La Famiglia series a while ago and I loved it. When I saw the Fifth Column being advertised, combined with my love everything from that time period, and I’m not in love with the war just the history of the time. Anyway, I had to have this game. I’m about halfway through almost finished with part one and I absolutely love it. The puzzles have stumped me, and it makes me trying and work through the history to find the answer I’m looking for. Basically I love the game! Given your history with the other two game series you have I’m hoping that there’s going to be a second box to this! I know I’ll be the first in line to purchase it.
Timothy P.
My wife and I really enjoyed this one. The codes were fun to try to break. I felt the difficulty was hard enough to make it challenging but not so impossible that we had no clue where to start. Overall it was really fun.
Patrick
Phenomenal game, great detail and quite challenging!!!
Caroline M.
The hardest one yet, but appreciate the historical detail that went into this! So much fun to play!
Nathan
Excellent game. Good level of complexity. This will be a Xmas tradition for us
Susan S.
We enjoyed playing the game and the exercising of our brains. We are not cypher experts and don’t think we could have moved forward in any part of the game without the hints. It would have been more fulfilling if it was a bit more intuitive (yes, I know the real world doesn’t work that way) so we could figure out the next steps.
Naomi B.
It was tough but worth the fight!! The product design is incredible. Thank you for continuing to produce beautiful and unique games. Excited for the next one
Anthony
Great fun. Got sucked in quickly, and have now bought every game they make. Can’t recommend highly enough without spoiling! Be sure to check out the webpage for suggestions on music, cocktails, food and dress to complete the experience.
GPR
We enjoyed it! We did it over two evenings. The ration stamps part was too hard for us as we tired, but the clues were helpful. Thanks for making a family fun night possible.
Craig A.
Challenging, yet fun.
Brittany R.
An absolute blast of a time! We have done all the puzzles from PP so far and can’t wait for more! This was probably our favorite one because of all the different parts to it. Part 2 was especially fun with the flashlights! No spoilers other than it blew out minds! Would HIGHLY recommend!
Mary S.
The game was great!! We’ve played all your other games and this one didn’t disappoint! We had a blast playing!
Darral G.
We had a great time. The Rosie the Riveter was the toughest to figure out.
Brian M.
It was so much fun something to lift spirits after our beloved father died in a mysterious car crash.
Karla
Lots of fun for our group of 6!
Christopher H.
Love the WWII theme! Well designed and fun to play! More challenging than I thought it would be, which is good!
Heather S.
Slightly easier than La Famiglia/Blackbrim, but that might just be us getting better at detective work after playing all the others (including Mission Elfpossible!)! We enjoyed the history aspect, the high-stakes setting, and the (sketchy but fun) tool use in Part II!
The only drawback is the lack of a souvenir at the end! We've loved collecting those from the previous series and it would have been fun to have one for this one-shot story!
Looking forward to the next game/trilogy by Puzzling Pursuits!
Ian
Great customer service, product looks like a lot of fun.
Cheyenne D.
This is my second puzzle from Puzzling Pursuits. This one was a little easier than the Blackbrim one, it was a little more intuitive. Definitely still a challenge, just didn't need as many hints! I love it! Going to order another one for a game night with friends!
Jan S.
Fun game. Nice thematic puzzles.
Anthony S.
So much fun! Great with a group. Love that they have suggestions to make a whole theme night. Just wish I knew of the website that had that stuff sooner. Good news is I’ve ordered everything they make, so will have plenty of opportunities to go deep!
Mary B.
Challenging as my sister and I love to match wits with each other to solve the puzzles. So excited to finally get Fifth Column. It was a long 6 months without a puzzle.
Ryan W.
We have only completed Part 1 but are loving it so far! Hoping this will be another trilogy!
Sarah M.
Please make more boxes asap!
Elisabeth W.
Compared to your other series I gave it 4 stars. Compared to other boxes we've done it's still far above . We loved the black brim series the most!!
Louise
This is for a Christmas game so we haven’t opened it yet.
However, ordering and shipping were so efficient! I ordered the game on Saturday afternoon and it arrived on Sunday!!!
Frances C.
My friend and I love your puzzles. We have only completed half of the puzzle. We choose to chat and puzzle and drag the experience out! Your puzzles are just the right level for us. Not too hard, but not too easy. We love to read the hints after we solve a puzzle. Sometimes we go about it differently than the hint. We are always amazed at the ingenuity of your puzzle writers.
Jan S.
It's become a family holiday event for us. This one was our 5th box and the entire family lives them.
Matt K.
Good, Really Good!
George F.
The Fifth Column was SO GOOD. I particularly enjoyed a unique component in this game... Without adding any spoilers, I encourage people who enjoy solving puzzles to get it!!
Joshua L.
Such a fun experience and fantastic game!
Albert W.
Loved it. The only negative part of the experience was when it was over! Highly recommend.
Jessie X.
So much fun!! This puzzling pursuits game was perhaps my favorite yet. I loved the variety of puzzles and the historical context for this game.
