So disappointed with this. I bought 2 and now feel that they were a waste of money and they were not cheap :-( Bought for Christmas but due to sickness and then everyone's busy calendars we have only just got round to playing. Arranged a special night with our regular games night group. We all quiz twice a week, do escape rooms, mystery walking tours and the like and thought we would smash this. How wrong we were! It was not really clear what we had to do. We all seemed to be going round in circles. The structure of the game was very discombobulated. After an hour we were all so bored that we gave up. It was not at all like we were expecting and as I said these games are not cheap! I was quite embarrassed as we did not get the fun Murder Mystery Night I had envisioned. The two I bought were A Christmas to Die For and Killer Christmas Party.
Didn't enjoy it at all very boring and tedious and don't think it was worth the money at all because it's just bits of paper. Was hoping to make G in our Alphabet dating a fun one but both were unimpressed by the end of it.
Killing in cold blood Played with friends - very disappointing end as there’s no factual evidence to substantiate what the game says happened (the murder..) vs what actually happened. Key evidence that is then ‘amended’ is a poor/lazy attempt to spice up the game. Also - some other key points just don’t make sense (timeline…) or are left unanswered… Not as good as the other title we played - Killer Christmas Party
My other half loves these. She has encouraged myself to do these as a couple hobbie. Yes we both have other hobbies. But we also share some of our hobbies. So the one called killing me softly. Sadly the evidice pack could have been the killer. Death by a 1000 paper cuts. Due to the overwhelming amount of paper. The evidence structer was misleading not overly engaging and blarong mistakes or even a misprint. Tryong tonsend red herring after re d herring. For someone whos dislexic this amount of print is not engaging, where other murder misteries have used other mediums to give clues as such as videos photes and so on. Once the final pack was open only one fibal pack. Thebkiller was easily revielednin such dissapoijtway. It made mu headache feel somewhat worse. We sat for abwhile discussing and conparing other prodicts of the same type made by other conpanies and we came to the realisation that yes we do have another one of these but if it has more paper then war and peace we will avoid it. And gone with something a lot more engaging then trying to prononce tolkeens written elvish in lord of the rings, which this murder mystery was. Or you pull your own teeth out. All agonizingly bad. It was ok. Was it worth the headache induced reading .. nope
Overall a well made set, a large amount of information and clues provided. However hate the use of ai images throughout the kit and websites created for the game. There were also a few pieces of evidence that were very difficult to locate and explain. We may have been missing some sheets of information as even when reading the confidential envelope a lot of the evidence wasn't clear.
