Murder at the Movie Theater
Really enjoyed this. Took us a while to organise ourselves but once we started to make links and cross reference information we got into the swing of it. Liked how there was extra information password protected on the detectives account too. The resources are great. Makes you feel like it is a proper case to be solved. Good quality, fun, great value for money, completed it with my 14year old son who was really enthusiastic about the activity. Nice to get him off devices for once!

A Very Entertaining Few Hours
I liked the idea, but in reality it is better than imagined! The standard of info and printing is excellent, and the digital evidence including voice clips and a video was great and unexpected. It is a good brain work out, a good story, a chance to play detective and a good group activity. If you or your loved one ever fancied being Morse or Agatha Raisin these are well worth a punt. If you like enigmagrams these are a great alternative. Will be buying another for the next special occasion!

Perfect date night at home game
Love the setup of the game, when you think you know who did it, you don't. My wife and I had so much fun cracking the case. It sparked a lot discussion and picking up hints about alibis. It's a perfect who dun it game, really recommend

Fun mystery, great for beginners
My partner and I are new to this sort of mystery game. We took this one on holiday and found it to be a great activity and a fun way to spend an evening. The writing and production quality are good, it felt like we got something that's had care and attention put into its creation, so pretty good value for money there. A couple of the points used to eliminate suspects were a little more of a leap than I'd like which is the only minor criticism I'd throw at it, but we were able to check we weren't missing a trick on the hints website before we submitted our answer. The hints site itself does a good job of giving several hints per investigation thread, from vague pointers through to detailed instructions so will likely do a good job of keeping players on track without immediately spoiling a whole thread.This worked well for two people, I can see it also being good for solo play or up to maybe four players; any more than that and you may want to look for something a little more structured as there's no concrete division of labour with this style of game in which you simply pick up any piece of evidence and take whatever approach you see fit to connect the dots. They mark this one as 3/5 difficulty and I'd say that's about right, you can expect it to take somewhere in the 2-4 hour range to complete. This mystery isn't replayable but one thing I like about this package is that there's no destruction or modification of the materials required; they provide suspect note sheets but so long as you have pens and scrap paper for taking your own notes you can complete the entire thing without leaving a mark, meaning you can sell it on or pass it to a friend for them to enjoy.If you're curious about this style of game then I'd say it's a good one to start with, so long as you're playing in a small group, have space to spread out a bunch of evidence, and have at least one phone or computer you can use to access some internet resources which are a necessary part of the solution.

Lovely time to work through with a friend
A really fun time with a well-put together game. There was a great collection of clues hidden in different media types, plenty of "mistakes" from the detectives, and lots of red herrings.It made for a great afternoon for two people having a weekend jolly. We solved it without needing hints, after we used a hint for the initial passcode. Well worth it, we'll be getting more!

Date night Detective
Fun way to spend an evening rather than watching TV. It took us about 3 hours at a leisurely pace with a few glasses of wine. Lots of speculation and some nice hidden details. Was challenging but not too hard. Price is reasonable for amount of evidence.

A game everyone will enjoy
Such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. The quality of the "evidence" is wonderful, even the "police website" that you log in to is so well created. We really enjoyed this and will absolutely be ordering another.
