Dispatch by Breakout Review February 2018
Dispatch is a monthly subscription-based mystery that tests your detective skills each month with a new delivery of clues. Imagine a new kind of escape, one you can experience in the comfort of your own home – introducing Dispatch by Breakout. It’s a step apart from everyday entertainment—better than a book, more engaging than television—think of it as an immersive mystery where you wear the detective hat. They kindly sent us this box for review.
Dispatch is a unique subscription experience. I appreciate the idea behind this box and the fact that they have created a niche market for themselves. I am all about creativity and this box is definitely creative.

Dispatch by Breakout Review February 2018 – Final Thoughts
I think I have said this in every review but I am absolutely blown away by the attention to detail and the passion that goes in to every box. This would not be an easy subscription to curate. My head hurts just thinking about the time and organizational skills required to pull this off. This really is a unique box, one that could be enjoyed individually or by a group. Get together with some friends and purchase a subscription. It would be really inexpensive when purchased as a group and it’s a really great way to make sure you get together at least once a month. I’m a fan.
