Hidden Games Crime Scene - Case No. 1 - THE CASE OF LITTLE GOMERSAL - British UK - Murder Mystery Game, exciting detective game

Product Information

This is a massive yes from me. It’s not a very cheap game at €30, especially for the uninitiated when it comes to “board games”. But the production quality of the game is incredible. By the end of solving our mystery, and we did successfully solve it all, we could absolutely see how the price is justified.

Hidden Games Crime Scene - Case No. 1 - THE CASE OF LITTLE

When playing Case One of the Hidden Games Crime Scene games the players work together to answer four questions. How did the suspect die? Who sent you the envelope? Who sent you the torn letter? Who committed the crime? To solve the case the players are presented with a plethora of information both in the form of physical clues in different formats as well as digital breadcrumbs leading the player online and to their phones. In particular, The Maplebrooke Case has you solving the murder of Max Glover who died at the county fair in Maplebrooke B.C.Alongside all the various shreds of paper evidence is access to a (fake) police database for the case with interviews and other information on the case. It’s not quite as epic as the Detectives The Board Game one, but it does what it needs to do. You should allow approx. 1.5-3 hours for the murder mystery game. However, you can also put it aside one evening and continue the next day. As for playing the game, it was a lot of fun. The sheer amount of information you are provided with is both impressive and overwhelming in a good way. I loved the variety of clue types, including plenty of things that made you feel clever when you figured them out. Many of the clues required deductive reasoning and there was even a math puzzle as part of the game.

Join the Police of Grimsborough to solve a series of murder cases in this captivating hidden object, adventure game. Investigate crime scenes for clues, bring the suspects in for questioning and analyze evidence to catch the killers. Are you ready to prove your detective skills? While great for immersion this does lead to the biggest problem with this game. To play this game requires more than what’s in the box and it requires things that not every gamer may have. While cell phones are pretty ubiquitous, not everyone has one, and not everyone that has a phone has a Facebook account. The one bit of advise I have for people is to try and keep your notes separate. Use post-it notes and don’t write or draw on the evidence. We did which means we couldn’t pass the game onto anyone else. It’s a single play game so, once you don’t draw on it, you can easily pass it onto friends and family to try out. Overall we had a great time playing through Hidden Games Crime Scene: The Maplebrooke Case. We played with three players, myself, my wife and my mother-in-law, and we all felt that it was the perfect difficulty level and length. The clues were just difficult enough to make you feel smart when you figured them out and we all loved how there was lots of corroborating evidence to help confirm our theories as we went through this case. We ended the game feeling good about how we did.The BEST crime-solving game is calling players for duty! Are you ready to prove your detective skills and step into a riveting world of danger, betrayal … and murder? Homicide Squad® is a heart-pounding hidden object and match-3 adventure game filled with rousing gameplay and perplexing murder mysteries! As a team, you will need to analyse letters, interpret the police interviews of various suspects, make telephone calls and even do some research on the Internet. Your approach to finding a solution is guaranteed to be multidimensional. Study the fingerprints, collect all the information on your large poster, discuss the alibis and motives. For your research during the investigation, you will need internet access and a phone with which you can receive text messages. It is also helpful (but not absolutely necessary) if you have a laptop or tablet at hand. Mobile phones are also allowed! Now I will admit none of these issues were actually a problem for us. When we were playing through this case we had a tablet and two cellphones at the table, which worked out great for being able to access online information and to make a phone call, but I want to make sure that people are aware of these potential issues.
