5 hours of family fun.
You can do it faster if you need the hints. Make sure you review the document list first to make sure you have all documents and to familiarize yourself with what is what. I really enjoyed the collaboration, the brainstorming clues with the family. We will be picking another one to do soon. A great night indoors with family.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 19, 2025Verified PurchaseThis one is really hard. We got lucky and finished it in a few hours, our friends have been stuck on it for days
- Reviewed in Canada on March 11, 2023Verified PurchaseWe spent the whole night laughing on how ridiculous this game was, so we were technically entertained. The true crime was the terrible photoshop. I feel sorry for the stock models. The story was poorly written and had racist undertones.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 3, 2024Verified PurchaseThe story and details put into each of these cases are brilliant. My wife and I spent a whole night cracking down the case. Money well spent and kudos to the creators.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mystery!
Verified PurchaseI loved solving this Unsolved Case File! This one had a bit more critical thinking skills needed than the previous ones, which is a plus in my book. We had loads of fun figuring out the answer to each objective. There are three objectives in total. I love how interactive the whole game is. There is lots of reading involved though but that is part of the fun. This was our third one that we did, since we are going in order of release date. I got the first two games in the series from Target and they were packaged differently than this one because they came in a product game box, while this one just came in the game’s case file envelope. Overall, we had an amazing gaming experience. And I honestly wish that they had these types of games when I was a kid. These games are great for groups or for solving solo. <3

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gute Unterhaltung
Verified PurchaseWir haben uns das Spiel für einen gemeinsamen Urlaub besorgt und waren einen ganzen Abend damit beschäftigt. Die Photoshop-Qualität der Bilder ist nicht überragend (hat bei uns aber für ein paar Lacher gesorgt), aber das schmälert den Spaß an der Cold-Case-Akte nicht. Die Mappe ist mit viel Material gefüllt, wodurch wir fünf Leute für ein paar Stunden beschäftigen konnten. Für uns war es als Alternative zu einem Exit-Spiel gedacht und das hat sich in jedem Fall gelohnt! So mussten wir uns nicht über ein kleines Blatt Papier kauern, sondern jeder hatte eigene Akten und Hinweise vor sich und man konnte zusammen an der Lösung arbeiten. Vollste Empfehlung für alle, die sich auch einen unterhaltsamen Krimi-Abend wünschen!

Verified Purchaseit needs a lot of reading, we used it in my 12 years daughter birthday, it was so much fun, also my friends used it with their friends in a camp and they has a lot of fun....

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything There, Easy to use but not easy to solve!
Verified PurchaseI did this one for date night and it took us 2 hours, was really intriguing having to look through every document for information. There's 3 objectives, to help you actually solve the case. When you think you've finished the first objective, there's a Google link to tell you if you're right or not! But it dosnt just give you the answer, it actually makes you tell them which documents you used to get to that conclusion- it also provides hints if needed. A very well thought out and fun little game!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and good level of difficulty
Verified PurchaseThe effort that has gone into each piece of evidence is great and there’s some clever red flags. Very much enjoyed solving it over a glass of wine! Good quality and the addition of a YouTube was a great touch.
