Kronologic Paris 1920 | Strategy Game for Teens and Adults | Murder Mystery Game | Ages 10+ | 1 to 4 Players | 30 Minutes

Great family deductive game. Similar vibe to Clue, but better - no rolling dice. Quick turns and everyone learns something every turn. Plenty of cases and neither overstays its welcome.

Kronologic is an excellent game with players and solo. Easy set up. Easy clean up. Easy rule set. You get 15 mysteries to solve. Excellent component quality. Game does not outstay its welcome. The mysteries are complex enough to be challenging but not impossible like some of those Exit and other puzzler room type games which can be very difficult to solve. Was fun both solo and with other players. Game can be filler or played between bigger games. Very enjoyable game that unlike many games today is not a table hog, does not take 25 minutes to set up, you can get it to the table very quickly and solo it or with others. Looking forward to the two additional versions that will come out. Just remember you get 15 mysteries here and then you will be done with the game, so replayability is limited.

This uses a similar system to the Turing Machine boardgame. The game comes with 15 'cases' which doesnt seem like a lot, but i feel that after running through them all, i could easily go back and play them again in the future as it would be difficult to remember the outcomes. The first set are a bit too easy and the later mysteries are quite challenging. Overall this is a way better 'game' than Turing Machine, but the turing machine is perhaps a better long term solo deduction game, due to the pure deduction nature and near endless puzzles

Only complaint was how long it took to get to me. Think shipping took 3-4 weeks.

Have you ever wanted to play Clue when no one else did? I have. This game is the solution. You can play with others OR alone. it is equally challenging both ways. And oh so think-y. A unique system of hints lets you see if you are on the right track without giving away the answer. I actually did not think this could be done successfully. I was wrong. Once you play this you will be hooked. Try it, you'll like it. Seriously.

I love deduction games and this is a really cool unique take on it. Players are all investigating a crime and the process they use to check areas at different times is really cool. You can gain some info from what other players do, but choosing what information you want to get and then trying to fill in the blanks to be more efficient is a fun puzzle. Overall, I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to finishing out the cases. Granted, once you play a case you can't really re-do it without knowing the solution, but getting 15 feels like a good value and then it can be passed on to a friend.

Ooh, this one will test your deductive reasoning, and if you're competitive you'll need to resist the urge to guess if you want to be the first to answer correctly and solve the case. We played through one scenario, through the varying difficulty levels, and it was easy to get the hang of things. For example, one narrative scenario has you trying to retrace an evening at the opera house to figure out who poisoned the detective. You'll need to figure out/deduce which character was alone with the detective, and in which location, and at what time, to solve the mystery. You basically take turns by picking a location card and them pairing it with either a character card or a time card. The pairing of the cards will reveal both a private piece of information just for you and a separate public piece of information to share with the group. It's a good and simple system that makes sure everyone is always given information. You continue taking turns until someone feels they have enough information to solve the mystery. The game design is really pretty solid. We always played as a group but this would make a really good solo game, too. Really no complaints to share but, like a really good streaming series you might marathon watch, I could see folks playing through all the different scenarios if they're having fun and maybe remembering some of the outcomes, if they had crazy good memory. Honestly though, I played through or solved about seven games in one week and if you were to randomly set one up from the ones I finished I'm not sure I could recall the solution. So replayability is pretty good. I should mention that the youngest member of our family is eight and while his excitement and interest for playing was there (this is a kid who loves co-op games like Horrified and in involved games like Zombicide) his brain totally started to melt with this one and he ended up just "teaming up" to finish the game.

Our son is in third grade, but if often feels like he's wise well beyond his years. Lately he's really gotten into logic puzzles, so Kronologic Paris 1920 falls right in his wheelhouse at the moment. (Mom and Dad have ALWAYS loved logic puzzles, so this works well for all of us.)The premise is simple: you collect clues from the Paris Opera, trying to solve a mystery. I won't give anything else away, but suffice to say the answers aren't obvious...until you figure everything out, and then of course hindsight is 20/20.The game itself is really well made. Fun art designs, crisp cuts to the game pieces, and nothing feels flimsy.An added bonus is that this isn't one game. There are five scenarios, and three eras, for quite a number of different combinations, each one a unique mystery. You may eventually get through them all, but there's tons of replayability with this game. It also means the game doesn't get stale, each playthrough is different.Overall, highly recommended. Really nicely made, challenging, and fun for the entire family to play.
