Worth every penny
My 19 year old son and his girlfriend love playing these, they have been home for summer break and we decided to get a selection and play them. This one was really good, great case file full of intriguing evidence to keep family entertained for hours. Quality within the case file is great and includes online evidence to extend and enhance the gameplay. This was at the top end of the difficulty scale and it was definitely a thought provoking one, we made loads of additional notes to help us crack the case. In my option Cryptic killers are the only ones to play as they are the best value for money, great quality content and gives you hours of playability

Really loved this anniversary gift :)
We thoroughly enjoyed this murder mystery case file. Although it was rather tricky in bits and we were often uncertain as to where to turn, our inner detective's never gave up and we soon found the killer. A super awesome, case file filled with lots of information, fun catches and ciphers that you need to work out. Highly recommend and cannot wait for our next one, murder at the movie theatre.

So much would definitely buying another!
It was great fun, bought it for a hang out with my college mates we started doing it at 11pm and then gave up at around 1am cause we got confused spent 3 days trying to figure out what we were doing wrong to realise we were reading too deeply into thing (tbh tho some things that you get told from some of the information is IRRELEVANT or doesn't mean anything) we got stuck for so long and then we looked at the hints get 5 in total 5th one tells you the answer and we went through all 5 to be completely confused because we already had all the info the hints gave us so we usued the fith one snd only read the first sentence to realise we had the answer all along just kept skipping over it and then the part two that you get in the pack we did significantly quicker however you gotta look at things for part one when doing part two others you're going to miss so many things but we managed to solve it we all had fun was a little annoying that it took us so long for very simple things but all in all for our first time doing one it was good. It came with all the information even if you were missing things you can find the missing pieces from a link they give you, all of the things we were given we're very good things like cards and photos were made very well i highly recommend this if you're looking for something to do it's definitely worth the money and it's easy to set up with a group of people or yourself :)

Murder of a Marine Biologist - such great fun
Really enjoyed solving this mystery Murder of a Marine Biologist with my partner. I am a true crime enthusiast so was right up my street. Not at all obvious and you had to read all the pieces of evidence very carefully to see all the clues and not miss anything. Really rewarding when we managed to crack the case!

Great evening activity with a group of friends.
Absolutely really enjoyed the case! We love the elimination cold cases as you need to do your due diligence in going through the evidence. Thanks for putting this together and we look forward to purchasing your other packages!

Dissapointing game for what it promises
If you ever played game of this sort you will be heavily dissapointed. The case file consists only of 2 folders with paper hints, nothing much else. The riddle is written very poorly, and the main difficulty is not in solving it but undertanding what the creator had in mind. I agree with other people being dissapointed in the clues not leading you in an organised way to a conclusion - after all you have only 2 tasks. Only will give one extra star for the print quality, as it wasnt bad at all, but its only because it wasnt terrible. Will definitely not buy any more games from this author as its very dissapointing - 'detective for a day' stories are much much better.

Our family's favorite Mystery Game series!!!!
Our Family has enjoyed escape room, logic puzzles and mystery games for many years. We discovered Cryptic Killers fairly recently and have played 5 of them so far. Each one had been varied in story, clues and characters, so they are always fresh and challenging. It takes us (2 twenty somethings and 2 sixty year-olds ) about 2 to 2.5 hours to get through all the information and puzzles. Some, like this one has two steps with separate packets to be open in succession as the game proceeds. I recommend using a laptop for the online information as it is easier to read than on a phone, but it can be done. The materials are plentiful and of good quality - except the CCTV shots that are always just a little too grainy or dark - Mostly, purposefully, but still a bit too hard to make out, even for the younger two. We thoroughly enjoy these games and look forward to the next challenge!
