I really enjoyed the mental exercise of solving this case. It was very stimulating for me and it made me really focus on every little detail. I enjoyed solving the crime. I loved how it made me feel like a real detective haha. It came with case files, evidence, interrogations, etc. to really make you feel like you’re a detective working a case. I look forward to buying more games like this.
A Ton of Fun!

This was our first time doing one of these Unsolved Case Files and it definitely won't be our last! My husband and I had a lot of fun solving this case over a couple evenings after our daughter went to bed. Everything was well thought out and we enjoyed feeling like we were real investigators. All the materials were nicely organized and detailed. A great way to spend some time together that is not watching tv!
Easy to solve

MB - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
Very easy to solve and didn’t provide much challenge. Nothing to do but read through the witness and person of interest statements. Compared to other brands, it was kind of boring.
It takes some time, but it's worth it!

I really liked this game! It took about 1-2 hours to solve, but we really enjoyed every minute of it. Now I want to get the Jane Doe case. :)
Fun for groups!

These are fun for groups to work through together. My teens love to do them with friends. I don't like that once they are solved you can't really use the game again but I guess that's the nature of these mystery games.
Could be more robust gameplay

This was too easy to solve and there is no replayability once you complete it. It didn’t feel worth it for the price.
perfect group activity!

My wife loves mystery games. I’ve played a few with her but never liked them much due to mechanics I never appreciated (you have a certain amount of moves, the theming, etc). This one was fantastic. A rich story with plenty of evidence. What makes it great is that you really have to think like a cold case detective - not solving unrealistic puzzles. But it’s rewarding. The game can give you clues so no worries there but I do t know if this is for the casual gamer unless you really like solving mysteries.
Fun

This game is about 2 hours of fun, realistic enough and challenging enough but not impossible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time playing this type of game. I love crime shows so this was right up my alley. I played it with my wife and young adult kids. We all really enjoyed this game and were impressed. It challenged us without overdoing it. It does require some thinking. It's very engaging and keeps you interested. It is a game that once completed then you'll know the outcome but definitely worth getting. It's well packaged in a box. In the box, there's an "evidence" bag. In the bag there's a folder with the evidence separated to solve the murder. Our family loved this game and solving this cold case! You won't be disappointed.
Fun game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I got this a few weeks ago and had not had a chance to play it yet but we finally were able to get a couple of friends over to play and it was a blast. They thought of everything to make it as authentic as possible it even came in a sealed file. This was hours of fun with friends we are now planning game nights with similar games once a month.
So fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Criminology and Forensics has always been so interesting to me. The smallest of details can solve even the most complicated cases. What I really enjoyed about this game is that it has all of the elements that I needed to put myself into this cold case file of Harmony Ashcroft and look at this case from a detectives point of view. This game does take time and critical thinking to solve but is not too hard to the point of frustration. It’s exciting and fun to go through all of the evidence to find the real killer. What I like about this game is that there is a website where you are able to check your progress and also get hints if you get stuck. This murder mystery game can be played alone or with a group and would make a great gift for any crime solver.
Challenging and fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am saving this game for Christmas, to play with my 14 year old Granddaughter. She loves unsolved mysyeries and crime scene investigation programs. I am very impressed at how this is packaged and sealed with the "evidence" inside. Theres even hints you can get online! It can be played by individuals, couples, groups, or at parties! It looks and sounds like alot of fun sorting through the evidence & eliminating suspects. The perfect game for those that like a good challenge and using brain power!
So fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great family game night option for older players. We did a ton of talking and questioning to figure out the answer. It took us around 2 hours with 4 people. We will likely try other cases.
Great party game!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game was super fun! It wasn't to hard or to easy! I played this with my teenaged son and we both enjoyed it immensely! The clues were really great and all the playing pieces were easy to work with. Highly recommend if you enjoy murder mysteries!
