A: Hello, no you do not need the internet to play the game. The website is is for checking your answers and it also provides extra clues.
This game offers an engaging and immersive experience for those who enjoy solving mysteries. It is particularly well-suited for group activities, date nights, and older children.

Misleading Item Description
Disappointed because I received a different unsolved case than what was pictured in the description on the Target website. Wanted the Jamie Babks case and received the Harmony Ashcroft case.

Very good
I loved everything about it. We played this during hurricane Francine. It took us about 9 hours to complete it. It's so much fun when you have a group of ppl that loves to solve mysterie. We even took a lunch break and got coffee because we were gonna pull an all-nighter.

Spoiler alert! One time use and not worth it!
Spoiler Alert ----- I am not sure if this is the correct game, she took it to a friend's and threw it out. Sobbed her eyes out for wasting money on a one time game and the fact that the final answer was a student murdered by her teacher she was having an affair with. So inappropriate! I'll never recommend this.

Poorly designed.
Almost everything. The website was a pain to navigate. The clues wanted you to assume things. The evidence was lacking the actual details they pointed to. We got about half way through and were so annoyed everyone pretty much stopped.

Super fun game night
We absolutely love these games! Takes a while to complete, but overall, it's really fun, and everyone can get involved! You can only play once, but we have now created a community, and we all share them around!

Beig kids game
My kids had a ton of fun solving the case (Spoiler) And I love the story of Jamie, and of what happen with the professor and everything but of two suspects that we’re kissing on the report I would recommend the game for bigger kids

One time use only
My daughter was very disappointed to find out this was a one time use. Wish I read the reviews before she wasted her money. She did enjoy figuring it out but not for the cost

Grt your reading glasses on
I love escape rooms and puzzle games and was hoping this would cure my puzzle solving itch after playing “Box One”. This was boring and a waste of money. It was basically all reading and no puzzles.

TERRIBLE GAME
This game sucks. There is not enough information to confidently answer any of the tasks/prompts. Their answer to the case was a huge stretch and would not hold up in any court. Very frustrating would not recommend to anyone

Wouldn't recommend
Wouldn’t recommend. Not as fun as the Hunt a Killer games and there’s not enough context to be able to confidently identify the killer. Lots of reading, whereas the Hunt a Killer games involve more variety with puzzles and codes.

Fun for the whole family
We weren't sure if this would be a good game or not. A firend of mine played it and said it was fun. So we took the plunge. I am so glad we did. It wasnt easy but it wasn't super hard either. Made you really think. Even my 13 years old liked it. Its not a game you van play over and over but maybe with different people or in a group of people who havent played before. These game are definitely one of our top favorites

A must buy!
Excellent! We took a few hours to complete this game, but it was the perfect way to pass the time. Great clues, quality items, and just enough mystery, plus it wasn’t gruesome like so many of the other mystery games out there. A must buy!

Worked well
This game was entertaining. I gave it to my 12 - year old friend and she loved it. I recommend being a little more aged for this as it takes time to solve. Overall I enjoyed this product.
