Hunt A Killer – Immersive Murder Mystery Game
Plot: When Katie Dunn, an employee at a seaside amusement park, turns up dead inside a popular ride, her boyfriend quickly becomes the prime suspect. The suspect’s mother reaches out to you in hopes of clearing his name, but even she has to admit that the evidence against her son looks bad. Could someone else have had a score to settle with the victim, or is the boyfriend as guilty as he looks? Behind the boardwalk’s picturesque facade lies a criminal underworld where everyone’s got something to hide. [Source: Amazon]
Game Play
To figure out who killed Katie, you must reconstruct her path along the boardwalk on the day she died, and work out what secret she discovered that ultimately led to her death. Uncovering the crimes perpetrated by the other boardwalk employees will lead you to the identity of Katie’s true killer.

Solve an entire investigation in one sitting. This is perfect for family gatherings, to play on the go, or if you want to see what it’s like to Hunt A Killer.
Handcrafted Evidence
This box is packed with evidence that you can actually touch and feel. Everything from the autopsy report to the items found at the crime scene are designed to place you in the role of lead detective in a homicide investigation.
Review
This is a fun mystery-solving experience, great for family game night (the recommended age limit is 14 years old and up). Good value for the amount of challenge and length of game play. With loads of content and evidence to sift through and analyse. All of which is very realistic and allows you to immerse into the mystery. Body on the Boardwalk has a difficulty rating of 2 out of 5, or medium. But I’d say it’s more comparable with a 1 out of 5, easy rating like one of their previous game, see my: Hunt A Killer: Death at The Dive Bar Review. However this means it a good entry-level game if you’ve not played Hunt A Killer games before. As it is still immersive and interesting enough to satisfy fans of puzzles and mysteries!
Overall rating: 4.5/5.0.
