Fun game for show fans! Like with any new game, once you get the hang of the instructions/flow of the game, it’s a blast. Brought out the competitive side of our group for sure. We had all 24+ somethings playing, so not sure how younger participants would do with it, but a fun game overall!

My friend recommended this game for me and I highly recommend it to others. It’s a lot of fun and the game was easy to learn! By the end of the first game we all had a pretty good understanding of it. Also, the game has a good balance between the unsubs and the agents making it hard to determine who is who.

I love the show Criminal Minds so when this opportunity came about I immediately jumped by on it! At first it was a little difficult for all of us to get the hang of how to play it, but once we did we played a few games. Definitely recommend this game to lovers of the show, and those who enjoy true crime.
A Great New Take on a Social Deduction Game!

We played this game with our friends and had a blast! If you like social deduction games then you will love Criminal Minds Unknown Suspect. It is similar to other social deduction games like One Night Werewolf, Fakin' It, and Chameleon but the background for this game is very unique from the others in that you are trying to figure out who the sneaky suspect(s) are before they wrap up their exit strategy or conduct 3 more murders to make the BAU team look like a bunch of clowns. If you've got a good poker face or are very convincing when trying to blend in then you'll do well at this game. A great party game for older kids/adults but you have to have a minimum of 5 people and up to a maximum of 8 to play. We played with 8 players, 4 adults and 4 teenagers, and everyone was able to enjoy the game. A few questions came up on card play/use when we played that we didn't find in the instructions but we were still able to enjoy this game immensely despite that fact. If you are into social deduction games then I highly recommend you give Criminal Minds Unknown Suspect a try. My family and friends definitely had fun playing it and plan on adding it to our regular rotation of party games!

We were really excited to play this game! My family and I are obsessed with the Criminal Minds show. We did feel like it was easy to guess who the unsub was. Although this didn't take away from the fun. We will be sharing this with our friends.
Familiar Concept, Unfamiliar Rules
3 out of 5 stars

A game with a familiar concept of hunting a secret killer amongst your friends, but with a criminology twist. It attempts to complicate the simple objective with card tracks and your characters being "kidnapped" by the killer. But, these rule additions add unnecessary confusion to the game and not much in the way of complexity or depth. This is not to say the game is without potential. We enjoyed our play through, but felt that an overhaul of the rules, making them easier to learn and adding nuance and complexity to the killer and detective strategies, would make it super fun to play over a glass of wine and your favorite film noir soundtrack.

Criminal Minds UNknown SUBject This is a social deduction, interactive party game. It has characters from the show Criminal Minds and is quite fun. Players can choose their favorite FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit agents and build a profile and catch the Unsub, or play as an Unsub and hide their crimes and escape the authorities. I had so much fun trying to find the unsub. I got bamboozled so hard I was confused for 3 days. One time I was the unsub and it felt so good to be a little mischievous teehee teehee. Usually I’m an honest person to my friends but I lied to them so hard that they don’t trust me in normal situations anymore. This game has sharpened my lying skills so much that I’ve become a little dishonest but oh well. Breed distrust and lies between family and friends. To catch a criminal, you have to think like one. You have to know how to read people and be able to tell when someone is lying to you. Have fun!
Criminal Minds is the best!

We played Criminal Minds Unknown Subject for a family game night and everyone loved it. The instructions are easy to follow, and the game is easy to set up. All the pieces are nice quality and the game is fun even for those who have never watched the show. I love that this game can be replayed with different results each time. We will definitely be playing it again very soon.
Where's my other Unsub?...

We had a really good time with this game, with friends and family. We tried it with 5, 6, and 8 players. Play was quick and we got in 5 games in one afternoon. Reading the rules the night before I wasn't quite sure how it would all come together, especially how table talk would work, but in the end it was a great social time - everyone had fun. I look forward to the next opportunity to play. The Unsubs revealing themselves to one another makes me smile. And the play went well. Nice game mechanics.
A fun way to solve a mystery

Everybody who played is a Criminal Minds fan. You do not have to be a fan though to enjoy this game. It is a fun mystery game which takes at least 5 people to play. It does take a little while to get a complete understanding of how to play, but once you do the game in on! We had an assorted group of age with the oldest player of almost 70 years old. She said that she could not remember the last time she had so much fun. I like the way you interact with each other and the game itself. I highly recommend it.
Fun game for families with teens

A fun game to play with teenage family members or with adults. A fun game where you have a chance to play various members of the Criminal minds team including the lead detective, as well as the unknown subject of an investigation. Players add clues and information to the game board to help narrow down potential subjects and deflect information from themselves if they are the unsub. We kept the instructions close, but after a few games we had the hang of the game. Lots of fun and laughter had by all players

Very fun family game. It took a couple of games for us to get the hang of everything but it's definitely worth it. You can easily play for hours. It's recommended for ages 14+ and I feel this is accurate. My children are 9 and 11. Even though my children struggled a little bit they had fun. I am taking this game to my next family game night.
What an exciting game!
