Mystery Detective Volume 1: Classic Cases- Cooperative Party Game to Unleash Your Brainstorming Skills

I purchased this game with low expectations but unexpectedly, it became a BIG hit for the family. We literally played for 3 days during Thanksgiving weekend gathering. No set up needed. We played it even while making Thanksgiving dinner and asking questions away.Disclaimer: ** Lots of self-exit and un-alive cases** - some petty crimes, some mysterious, some riddle like cases.

This card game is great! I saw it advertised on TikTok, and as a lover of true crime, fictional crime, and mysteries, I knew I had to try it out, and I wasn’t disappointed.The actual cards themselves are high quality. The box they come in is durable and keeps the cards securely contained. The illustrations are quirky but work with the game. They’re easily portable and are well crafted.The game itself is simple: you have to solve a mystery with very little information, solely by asking yes/no questions to the one person with the answer. The situations are ambiguous, so the better your questions, the faster you’ll get to the solution. If you’re someone who is highly analytical and who needs a wealth of information from which to form an analysis, then this game isn’t for you. If you’re more into the Sherlock Holmes style of detective work where the mysteries are varied and odd and information isn’t always plentiful, you’ll like this game. The biggest downside to this is replayability as people with good memories likely can’t play it more than once or for a long time after their first run through. But it looks like more volumes are to come, which is exciting!This game is a great time, and I would definitely recommend it!

my dad loves it! i wish it had more cards.

I bought this game at a local shop, but I lost it. I found it again on Amazon and ordered it right away! It's a really fun, casual game to play with a small group of friends and family who aren't really interested in playing strategic games. The cards are very entertaining and visually appealing. I highly recommend adding this game to your game collection.

I have brought it out with friends a few times and is such a great game for a bigger group. We can spend so much time going through these things.

An interesting guessing game, but not for kids.Volume 1 has a lot of cases that are duds, but the the good ones make it worthwhile.Volume 2 is clearly not written by the original author and is complete junk.

Last year for Christmas, we got volume one of this game for my mystery loving daughter. We all loved it and played it all the time. This fall we moved, and we have yet to find it. I came in here to replace it, and was pleasantly surprised to find there was a Volume 2! We bought it for my daughter for Christmas again, and she was very excited. We have been playing it every night nice.

Deductive reasoning skills needed! Hahaha! The hints are so off the wall that we got so frustrated asking questions. We got through the first card and it was satisfying that we solved the mystery. By the third card, we tapped out and moved on to the next game.
