Hidden Games Crime Scene – The New Haven Case – Realistic Crime Scene Game – Murder Mystery and Detective Experience – USA Version

My fam and I like escape rooms and problem solving so when I saw this I thought we would enjoy it. The game did not disappoint. 8 of us played (6, 15, 17, 21 and older adults) the game is very involved and at first a little overwhelming but once we found our groove it was great! We liked that the documents were so detailed, pictures, texts, voicemails. We enjoyed all of it. Even the 6 yr old who was playing dolls by herself but listening to us, remembered a clue that helped us. Fun for the entire family. We would definitely recommend! and will be looking for more to order.

Me and my 13 year old daughter completed this and it was very fun. We figured it out within an hour but it was fun. It did not have anything to graphic and if you get stuck they provider help with a QR code.

I played this with a few friends of mine over dinner and we had a pretty great time playing it.

This game was a ton of fun. It made great use of the internet, including social media. The props were realistic and some were helpful in solving the case. However, the storyline and the reason the murder was committed fell short. Because the reason for the murder was so farfetched, all the efforts in cracking the case felt like a waste of time.

We have done a good handful of these types of games and I will say that this was the best one we have ever done. We really liked the components. It had a lot of interactions, we loved the bulletin "board" that you hang up to see all the suspects. It was just all around a great one. We finished in about an hour with 3 of us. We actually got the answer incorrect, but that was ok, because the true answer totally made sense and wasn't totally off base like some other games where there would be no way to come to that conclusion without some really odd assumptions. So well done! I just ordered the 2nd one and am already bummed that that is it, no more. Hope you produce more soon!

Pleasantly surprised by the detail in this game! This was a easy and fun way to theme a dinner party.

The puzzle was not as straightforward as other murder mystery case files that I have gone over. It was difficult to keep track of all the suspects. I would have preferred to have witness statements and suspect interrogations in the file.Given all that, it was fun to go over this file. I am glad to add it to my collection.

I am very experienced at these at home mystery/detective/escape games and I usually play solo. This one is new on the scene and I gave it a try and really enjoyed it! I did not need any hints and was able to solve with the materials included. It took me about 3 hours total over two days. I really like how this was organized with a poster of characters, a calendar timeline and a suspect/motive/alibi sheet. If you like Unsolved Case Files, Cold Case Crackers, Murder Mystery in a Box, etc. you will like this one. I am looking forward to the next case they are developing!!
