First locate the player.prf, player_backup.prf & player_backup2.prf files in something like:

C:\Users\YourID\AppData\Local\Packages\828B5831.TheSecretSociety-HiddenMystery_ytsefhwckbdv6\LocalState

Save those files elsewhere  + the Friends_List.xml from the Social folder, then try deleting the entire contents of the Social folder & try starting. If successful your FL should just be downloaded from the master copy kept on the servers.

If that doesn't work, uninstall and re-install the game but don't start it until you've put back the original player.prf (delete the fresh "level 0" .prfs first and don't put back the backup & backup2 files...they'll be recreated from just the player.prf). Before starting, again delete the contents of the Social folder. If the game continues to hang now there maybe a problem with the player.prf, so try renaming the player_backup2.prf that you saved to player.prf and trying the procedure again with this file.
