This game was fun all the way til the end and then the end was absolutely terrible it never gave answers to anything it left gaps in the entire game. Please don’t buy unless you want to waste time and be disappointed.

We love these case file games. They are challenging but not impossible. Each game is unique in the content. They are great for us to do as a couple or to bring to a group.

This game was so fun but I don't think that it was worth the price of it it gets you around 3 hours of fun and we had three people working on it there's different parts of the game but once we got to the last couple parts we breeze through them really quickly and it felt like there wasn't a ton of effort being put into the last part
Not great

Not a coherent story line. So must information and none of it really connects before going online to read the questions. Felt very forced to make the certain person the killer, even if it didn’t make sense that person to be the killer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a great game to play. I held a game night at my home with a group of my friends and we played this game. We had a couple of hours of fun trying to play detective and trying to solve the case. It was entertaining! The game made us put our thinking caps on. We all found it easy to understand and able to follow the direction of how the game is suppose to be played. This game really makes you feel like you’re trying to solve a crime. It’s excellent!

A Captivating Cold Case with Room for Improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Goliath's Unsolved Case Files: Jane Doe dives you headfirst into a thrilling whodunit. The premise - piecing together the identity and cause of death of a mysterious Jane Doe - is intriguing, and the isolated island rehab setting adds a layer of suspense. Sifting through evidence, suspect interviews, and crime scene photos felt like genuine detective work. Here's what I enjoyed: * Engaging Gameplay: The case unfolds in stages, keeping you hooked as you uncover new clues. *Immersive Experience: The included files and photos create a realistic atmosphere. *Replayable: With multiple suspects and solutions, you can revisit the case with a fresh perspective. However, there were a few areas that could be improved: *Limited Replayability Value: While the branching paths are a plus, solving the case multiple times can feel repetitive. *Light on Character Depth: While the suspects provide intrigue, I would have liked to delve deeper into their motivations. Overall, it is a solid game that will have you glued to your seat until the final reveal. With some added character development and replayability tweaks, it could be truly outstanding. For a suspenseful solo or group mystery night, it earns a 4 out of 5 stars from me!

I've done other Unsolved Case Files games before and this one has a really disappointing middle and end, so disappointing that the way the victim is murdered makes no sense. It had a lot of promise but unlike other games this one had no big "aha!" moments.
Fun for the family

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I played this with my husband and my 15yr. It was a great family fun night. It was pretty simple to follow. We got into fun “agreements” on our thoughts. This is a great game for dinner party’s or just hanging out with friends. We can’t wait to play again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this unsolved case file 4 Jane doe case game for free from unsolved case files and influencer in exchange for my honest review. This is a murder mystery game. You play it as you are the cold case detective. You need to figure out who is Jane doe. You need to figure out who killed her. The game is for one or more players. It is challenging, but It was easy to use and figure out. It's a fun game and great for the whole family although it can be difficult to solve, it is fun. The story makes sense, and they put a lot of effort and details into the cases. Very good quality made game and super unique and fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of reading! If you love crime & reading this is for you! There’s sooo many things to pay attention to. I love how realistic this game is; from the photos down to the reports. Everything is sealed like top secret information. After you feel like you’ve solved one part, you can go to the QR code link & NO it doesn’t just gives you the answer. It asks you questions to see if you really paid attention to the details to get your answer. You can also get 3 hints. The game is LONG so play only when you have time, you can come back to it. Overall, great concept.
If you love a mystery, then you'll love this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You will definitely need to have a detective type of mind in order to play this game. Time will be needed and also space. I have yet to find my circle of people to play with just yet, but when I get the time, I want to try to solve it myself. I think it's worth a try. I love a good mystery!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging of the game is really nice, and fun for true crime fans. My 17 and 20 year old daughters enjoyed the game but it was a little lengthy to get through. I think it would make a great gift for other True Crime fans. The materials look authentic and it is engaging.
Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like games where I need to think but this one may be harder. I tried to play with my 14 year old son and after like 30 min or so he literally got up and walked away. I tried to hang on longer but then gave up because it’s no fun alone. Although you likely could do yourself. Thing is that once you’ve completed it you can’t play again. So maybe giving to a friend. Otherwise you bought a game to play once.
