Eh. Skip this one
My husband and I spend 3 hours on this last night. We love these types of games and have played other brands in the past. This specific one was pretty difficult, using a shift cipher - we got that from the hints and honestly would have never come to that conclusion. In the end we ended up relying on the hints to make it through but couldn’t definitely say anyone did it. The final answer was one of my main suspects but I couldn’t definitely pin them. I read the other reviews on this and agree that I feel like there were missing clues. It just didn’t fit together.

Seems incomplete?
I love these kind of games so I was excited for this one. I did this on my own. The set up for the crime was good but after looking through everything, it seemed like the game masters forgot to add some things because there are so may unanswered questions and that bothers me. I wouldn't recommend this because it seems like an incomplete game.

Murder Mystery Game
My daughters loved this murder mystery. I kind of remind me of escape room. It kept them busy for about 3 hours.

Murderer Too Obvious
Don’t get this one. The murderer didn’t make sense. There were unanswered questions and things that didn’t add up in the end. It was also way too obvious. Playing through was fun, but the answer to who did it couldn’t have been more obvious. You don’t even have to figure anything out. Very disappointing ending.

Not a good one
Definitely not enough clues or info on this one. Even when we knew the killer, it still made no sense. Don’t get this one.

Avoid
Big fan of HaK boxes overall but this one has serious problems. Won't get into details because spoilers but narratively bad and mostly unnecessary gameplay. No idea what all the super positive promotional reviews are about but buyer beware. Pick another option.

Fun and not too hard
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first specifically “hunt a killer” mystery game. My husband and I played together and I’d say it took us a couple hours. However, I think since we got it so early the online clues were not live yet so it definitely took us longer than it should have. We were on the right trail though. We’re avid true crime listeners and picked up on the things that were suspicious immediately but we could have confirmed them more quickly with the online clues. I’d love to try a more challenging one now.

One-time fun, but fun nonetheless
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My friends and I had a wine night and played this murder mystery game together and it was a ton of fun! The game was much more interactive than I was expecting, there were lots of things to read but also little props and such to unlock and inspect as evidence. There was even a website that you get directed to that has “security camera footage” for you to use in your investigation (I have some screenshots posted as examples). The main reason I knocked a star off is because I do think it’s a shame that these types of games can only be played once, but it could make for a fun regift or donation!

So exciting!
I haven't played it yet, but I love that Target offers these HAK games and makes it easy to buy them! I probably wouldn't have gotten to try them otherwise!

Fun Game for Mystery Lovers!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a fun game to play with my husband! We both love solving puzzles and mysteries, so this was right up our alley. There were a lot of elements to the game, so it took us longer than the estimated time on the box. Still a great way to spend an evening with loved ones though!

Great game night!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the game. It was engaging and fun with all the different puzzles. I really enjoyed having the different pieces of physical evidence. It made the experience feel more real and you can really immerse yourself into the story. We were able to divide pieces up and solve the various puzzles. The writing for each of the characters was also fantastic. Would highly recommend. We’re actually looking at buying more.

Not bad of a game for a family night.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girls love murder mystery type of games. So when we received this, they were excited. It was good and all but pretty easy to do. They like a challenge. It was well designed, and puzzles were put together well. We enjoyed it, but I just wish it was more challenging.

Good idea but sloppy execution.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest, I thought this was a book or video game but it's a board game and one I've never seen or heard of before... It's a nice concept in theory but how it's executed is probably intresting too but the learning curve is too complicated and unless you have patience, I see this playing better on a console (or Pc) where the learning curve is way different but feels more interactive m

Very enjoyable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an amazing time with my girlfriend delving into the intricate world of Hunt A Killer: Lakeside Slaughter. The suspenseful storyline, challenging puzzles, and immersive experience had us completely engrossed from start to finish. Working together to unravel the mystery and piece together clues was not only thrilling but also a great bonding experience for us. The game provided the perfect mix of excitement and intrigue, creating memories that we will cherish for a long time. We can't wait to embark on more adventures like this in the future.
