Review: Game - Worth the price, it’s a fun game and a great way of learning
Review: Great fun for a neighborhood event! Best evening ever! - This was a neighborhood event. Everyone dressed as their favorite detective from TV, Film or books. Everyone became immersed in solving the case, examining clues and looking for hidden details. A cold case murder mystery was recently unraveled on somewhere in Florida! The hosts served as lead investigators to guide nearly 20 top neighborhood detectives brought together to solve the murder of Harold Green. Guests assumed the alter egos of such famous investigators as Jack Web, Columbo, Dick Tracey, Kojak, Cagney, and Lacey to name a few. Dressed accordingly, each introduced themselves and was assigned to one of 3 investigative teams. Teams were briefed on the murder and then the cold case files were distributed! The detectives needed to answer the usual questions about the murder: who, what, when, where and how. This included examining all sorts of reports and clues to identify the guilty person out of the 6 main suspects. The case file contained witness statements, crime scene photos, newspaper articles and other seemingly unrelated evidence (but was it?). Everything that was needed to sort out the clues and activities of the prime suspects including times, locations and motive was provided. Instructions were given and the detective work began! Who could be eliminated and who was guilty? After all, the honor of “Best Detective Team” was at stake!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Puzzle Lovers Who Don’t Mind Reading
*by A***R on January 22, 2026*

There is way too much reading for my taste. My partner and I are big fans of escape rooms and puzzles, and we bought this to try something different. It’s not really “fun” in a playful way—it’s more about thinking and analyzing. We’re usually very good at these kinds of games, but in this case we couldn’t fully solve it. It asks three questions, and we got 2 out of 3 right. Since we’re usually good at this, I assume it’s either difficult or maybe our reading comprehension wasn’t great, haha. Overall, it’s good for passing the time, but if you don’t like a lot of reading, I wouldn’t recommend it.
