Fantastic mystery
Why did you pick this product vs others?:These are our hands down favorite brand of crime scene mysteries. This is our 2nd favorite; the first being Murder at Merivale Manor. This mystery required deciphering coded messages. Internet is needed for extra evidence. There is a play on words a few times that’s fun. There are hints if one gets stuck, but we live to go back after we finish to see if there was a clue or interpretation we didn’t consider. Always so much fun. Lots of cool evidence and the story eventually all comes together. Few hours of fantastic family fun that really lets everyone participate. Most times there is some sort of decoding to be done which we love. Consistently great mysteries with great stories, great clues that are just challenging enough to put together, and great characters. Very well written and always all the information one needs to solve the mystery. We have 6 who play together, 2 adults & 4 18 year olds.

Love these
I love solving these files. It takes me about two hours to complete them. I love how this one in particular has many forensics stuff from ballistics to fingerprints, blood splatter, coding, and autopsy’s . This was definitely great and priced good too. It is super easy to figure out how it works, i went through after i solved those to see how the hints worked and it pretty much guides you through it without giving the answer straight away. Design of this was amazing and better than other files i have done, yes i am a huge forensic nerd lol. I love these and will be ordering more after i write this!

Fun one!
My partner and I (both in our early 30s) enjoy doing these sorts of murder mystery packages together for date nights, and this was our first "Cryptic Killers" box. We really enjoyed it!The story was fun and I liked the mix of some puzzles with a lot of logical thinking and piecing things together. We talked through a lot of stuff together, which is always fun when you're doing these as a pair/group. We also thought everything was fair -- no wide leaps in logic or any guessing games were needed on our end. Everything made sense when we connected the right clues together. The documents were also well-made overall (some typos here and there, but nothing major) and high-quality.We read through everything and this ended up taking us a few hours over a couple of nights, so it was totally worth the money.The ONLY thing is we would have loved it if it was all on paper with no real online elements -- this game has a few online clues/pieces of evidence and we didn't have a laptop with us when we did it, so we were having to read them on our phones. It wasn't a huge deal, and mostly a personal preference.We'll be getting more of these in the future for sure!

Great one!
I liked this one. I really liked how they split it into 2 parts so it didn’t seem as overwhelming with the evidence all at once. Already have the next one ready to solve!!!

This game is for real puzzle lovers! It was HARD!
The game was a lot of fun! Be aware that it takes several hours to complete! It has lots of twists and turns that cause you to really have to pay attention to all the clues that you are given. You must like puzzles like ciphers, and the logic doesn't always come from how a "detective" would do it. Thank goodness for the hints! They are just enough to keep you on the right path! We eventually came up with the right suspect, but we would have convicted the wrong guy(s) if we hadn't been guided by the hints.

Our family's favorite Mystery Game series!!!!
Our Family has enjoyed escape room, logic puzzles and mystery games for many years. We discovered Cryptic Killers fairly recently and have played 5 of them so far. Each one had been varied in story, clues and characters, so they are always fresh and challenging. It takes us (2 twenty somethings and 2 sixty year-olds ) about 2 to 2.5 hours to get through all the information and puzzles. Some, like this one has two steps with separate packets to be open in succession as the game proceeds. I recommend using a laptop for the online information as it is easier to read than on a phone, but it can be done. The materials are plentiful and of good quality - except the CCTV shots that are always just a little too grainy or dark - Mostly, purposefully, but still a bit too hard to make out, even for the younger two. We thoroughly enjoy these games and look forward to the next challenge!

Great Game!
I LOVE these games, I have bought about 3 now and each time it is a blast to solve. They definitely aren't too easy but aren't too hard either...sometimes. Highly recommend.

Time well spent
Crime Kits can be hit or miss, and you don't always get what you expect. This case was extremely clever, kept us engaged and rewarded our time spent. It had a number of interactive elements, and a manageable collection of clues. We easily got a good return for our entertainment dollar. Highly recommend.
