Review
This is a non-murdering mystery-solving experience that you can play in one sitting. I think this is a well-designed game with an intriguing mystery story. Great for young detectives (the recommended age is 14 years old and up). There’s plenty of immersive investigation game play in this mystery game kit. And an appropriate difficulty rating of 2 out of 5 (medium), given the level of logic and deductive reasoning required to solve this poisoning case. With plenty of evidence to sort through including testimonials. Which you’ll use to create timelines and confirm alibis to crack the case. And if you get stuck you can find handy hints, recaps and answers online on Hunt a Killer’s website. Finally, this is a great game to play with Nancy Drew fans, young sleuths and mystery puzzle fans! My rating: 5/5!
