## Description

Product description THIS IS THE FAIRLAKE BANK HEIST CASE On Thursday January 27, 2005, a group of three armed perpetrators entered Broadway Savings and Loan to carry out a planned heist. The group managed to steal over 2 million dollars from safety deposit boxes and cash drawers. Original suspects include Austin Woods (the pilot) Neil Turner (the bank manager) Alex Hartman (the hacker) Charles Gibson (the professor) Henry Pratt (the ex-con) All 5 of these original suspects cooperated with investigators and provided statements and fingerprints. Detectives collected evidence and followed all leads at the time. However, there was not enough evidence to confirm any suspect as the mastermind. The case went cold and the suspect responsible for the heist and three murders is still on the loose. A year and a half later detectives got a break in the case when they arrested an infamous criminal who traffics in stolen goods. The notorious smuggler and trafficker of stolen goods Jimmy Hobbs. He was arrested in possession of a gold watch that was listed among the items stolen during the bank heist in 2005. The lead detective, Vicki P., jumped at the chance to follow this important break in case and questioned Jimmy at the prison. While interviewing Jimmy, she was able to gain valuable information about the heist. In addition, she obtained a map and cypher that was used by the mastermind in the planning of the heist. She believes that the new evidence will be key to identifying the mastermind, seeing justice be served, and bringing closure to all those affected.

Review: Perfect Quarantine Night - Recently graduated from college, I'd felt I'd exhausted the things to do in my apartment. I love board games but had never played a game like this. Once the game arrived, I invited the couple of friends I've been seeing over and we played with my roommate. A couple of them were skeptical, but once we pulled the case out of the envelope, everyone was invested. The materials and presentation are really high quality, so you're put in the zone right away. Naturally, everyone made themselves the expert on one type of evidence, and hypotheses and accusations began to fly immediately as to whom everyone thought the culprit was. It felt really gratifying to have everyone have to collaborate and share their knowledge to advance to the next level of the puzzle. It was difficult and involved enough to keep us engaged throughout, but not so much that we were pulling our hair out. Overall it made for a fun and memorable night together, something important in the quarantine age. Highly recommend.
Review: Perfect Game for Quarantine - We had so much fun playing this on game night! The storyline is well thought out with twists and an interesting plot. It took some critical thinking, but with a couple of minds working together, we figured it out. This case really engaged our inner sleuthing detective! It was so engaging, we couldn’t walk away till we had the mystery solved with the evidence lined up, which took ~2.5 hours. Would highly recommend

*by J***E on April 18, 2021*

We really enjoy the cold case type of games. This was was good and had us really thinking. It took 2.5 hours for the 2 of us to do. One part of it was really hard and not sure how you could solve it without using technology to assist. I recommend it! I can’t wait to try the others.
