This was such fun to work on with my family and all the materials are beautifully produced. Highly recommend to anyone who likes puzzles and detective novels.
Really enjoyed this game - took me about 1.5-2 hours to complete and I use a couple of hints. Puzzles were clever and well thought-out. I liked that you had to use deduction and dot-connecting to work out the motives rather than a puzzle giving you the answer.
Hints page is good as it nudges you in a direction rather than spelling out the answer straight away.
Quality is good and I won’t hesitate to buy another game from this company again.
Our family did this together at Christmas time and we spent a few delightful hours unraveling the mystery. We also did one of their easier ones the night before. Really well made! Better than I expected. Thank you!
We really enjoyed the game with friends at the weekend. The story was really well thought through and the clues/evidence very well put together. 😊
This is the third time I’ve ordered Murder Mystery gifts from this seller, twice for myself and this time as a gift. We always receive prompt delivery. The item is of exceptional quality and lots of fun to play. I hope my brother and his family enjoy his as much as my family does.
