Murder Mystery Party Murder Mystery Case Files Black Hawk Live Mission

Bought for a group of teenage girls to complete and although they didn’t manage to complete within the timeframe they were given they really enjoyed it! There is a lot in the pack to go through so would definitely keep you entertained for a while!

Great fun for the whole family. We spread it over two evenings but could easily be spread over an afternoon. Not too complex but definitely had us scratching our brains at points. The evidence was of good quality. There’s lots of reading but that’s to be expected, younger teens may struggle to maintain focus depending on their attention span. If you’re a lover of crime and mystery then this is for you.

The goal was to list the suspects and add 1) motive, 2) means, and 3) opportunity. If I had all three then I would find the killer. And so I read about this Napa Valley wine maker, his brother, his business partner, his secretary, his wife, his foreman and one of his friends. One of them had taken his life and tried to cover it up. To be honest, I had only read the Missing Person File and I already had my eyes set on one of the suspects. So when I read the Murder Investigation File I tried to keep this in mind and see if there were other things that fit and they did. Overall I didn’t find it so difficult to find the identity of the killer, and of the 6 possibilities 3 people fell off my list quite soon already. When you only hear once from them in a witness statement and the others don’t speak of them either, how are they supposed to be real suspects then? I did find the motive was kept very simple and I did miss some extra drama and intrigue between the different characters, like mistresses who had affairs with different men and then tension and jealousy between them… I didn’t feel much ’emotion’ coming off any of the characters and it’s all quite straight-lined, there are no complications. I know, I read too many stories, right? All in all I enjoyed this but I missed some extra game play, you’re done when you’ve read everything (I did take notes too so that I saw the important points in the statements) and you decide on a name. All you have to do then is check the solution on a private site (and there are a few clues too to get there if you need them), where they confirmed my suspicion, my suspect was in fact GUILTY. They also list all the clues (5 or 6) for you to have come to that conclusion.

First off this was the cheapest option, and having never tried something like this before I thought why not try it. It took me and one friend 2 and a half hours to complete (that is including a couple of drinks breaks and a couple of other distractions) the detail in the package is amazing, really gets your mind working without giving too much away. The online ‘hints’ were pretty obvious if you’ve managed to work the case properly but can see they’d be quite helpful if you got a bit stuck. Overall a great way to spend the evening, I think if there was more than 2 of you it might get solved a bit faster but either way we had a great night and will definitely be trying more things like this!

A good mystery game good for those who lost to solve mysteries and lots of information and clues and it’s really good mind game too.. my daughter loved it as her birthday gift.

The presentation of this game is great. All the evidence (and there’s a lot of it) is well presented and looks authentic. However, it’s not all that difficult and having spent so much time looking through and reading all the evidence only a handful are actually relevant and easy enough to get you to the solution. The online hints are also pretty pointless, more cryptic clues than being of any help.

Love this game, entertainment for few hours with friends!

Excellent way to pass an evening with friends. We managed to get the correct answer by paying close attention to all the evidence included.

I loved it!! I had so much fun with my siblings (the youngest is 11) we spent hours solving it we are definitely going to buy more!!

muy bueno me gusto mucho, trae muchas cosas verdaderas para empezar como investigador y crear líneas de investigación.

كانت كويسة لكن صعبة شويتين لانها تتطلب معلومات مو موجودة في الاوراق ولازم تبحث بنفسك عنعا في الانترنت واماكن اخرى المعلومات الموجودة في الورق تعتبر ٢٥٪ فقط من المعلومات اللازمة الباقي تبحث عنه

I like murder mystery investigation games like this so this is the 3rd brand I am giving a shot (the other two being Hunt A Killer and Unsolved Case Files). Although I have yet to give this a play through, I thought I’d give a quick overview feedback - packaging is as good as the other two brands if not better. The material inside feels and looks well made as well. Only thing is I’d hope the creators include an inventory list of all the items that should be in the box so ‘investigators’ can check to make sure there is no missing ‘evidence’. Price wise, this definitely beats the other two brands but I’d need to have played the entire game before I could say if what the other two brands lose in terms of price point they make up in quality.

I love that the game feels like it is running on real time. I loved the team and how you split them between the players so everyone can be in control of one of the operatives. It felt exciting and riveting — loved the chats and the videos. There was some bad info and red herrings that we had to discard and navigate around just like real life would gave. Things were smooth overall, with exception of one clue which was not possible to find. This is the landline for the assistant. It is not available through the phone or by following the clues given at all. But it is a minor thing that I am sure could have been resolved in real life by calling the bank and asking as it is not private info, so we felt OK cheating on that one. Otherwise a great game. Excellent really.
