If you're a fan of the game system, the Lovecraft Mythos, or just an interesting way to spend two hours with friends, this game is for you! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun *by E***J on January 17, 2026* Fun! ### ⭐⭐⭐ First Two Cases were Awesome, then it Kind of Falls Apaet *by A***R on June 7, 2025* Man, I really wish they would have stuck with the format of the first two missions. Them trying all the experimental stuff (especially case 5) was just a bit off-putting. You have this wonderful, rich map and you only use each side once? Seems like a waste. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bureau of Investigation: Investigations in Arkham & Elsewhere Board Game, Cooperative Mystery Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 1-8 Players, 120-240 Minute Playtime, Made by Space Cowboys - Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective - Carlton House & Queen's Park Board Game - Captivating Mystery Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 1-8 Players, 90 Min Playtime, Made by Space Cowboys - Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective - The Thames Murders & Other Cases Board Game - Captivating Mystery Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 1-8 Players, 90 Min Playtime, Made by Space Cowboys --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/442406155-bureau-of-investigation-investigations-on-arkham-and-elsewhere](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/442406155-bureau-of-investigation-investigations-on-arkham-and-elsewhere) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
