    • All ages will enjoy! Even grand ma & grandpa
Our 9 year old granddaughter had this game and brought it to our house for a sleepover. Wanting to engage with her my husband and I sat down at the table and let her explain the game to us. Which, I might say, she did an outstanding job. It was complicated and a little difficult, but challenging and kept our interest. We all loved it! and a day or two later I ordered the game so that I could have it here and she could come over and play with us anytime ... show more

    • JR detective
My kids LOVE this game. It's similar to clue but easier for kids. They love using the tools to read the clues. My kids are 8 and 10 but I think younger kids would also enjoy this if they can read and use basic deductive reasoning. (One of the clues is that one person is LYING)

    • So Glad I Bought It!
This is the cutest game! I bought it for my just turn 6 year old son. We have had a lot of fun each time we play this game. It takes just the right amount of time to play a case and doesn’t bore my antsy child. It has an added twist with the librarian lady that keeps you on your toes.

    • Guess Who meets Clue
It's a bit of Guess Who meets Clue. It's repetitive but each case is different, so younger ones can get it but older ones GET it.

Love this game. The instructions are easy to understand as you can see in the picture, but you should watch a video if you do not understand it. This is our 2nd time playing it with our family. It is perfect for birthdays or just for fun. The instructions book has 11 pages. It is perfect for all ages.. It takes maybe about 20 to 30 minutes. But you should keep everything organized so you can play it. Without many items you can’t really play. I really recommend it to anyone who wants to pay a good brod game. ... show more

    • We love this game!
Cross between Guess Who and Clue. Bought for my 11 yr old but my teens like it too. It is very well made...did not have any card problems as another reviewer mentioned. Now, we did modify the rules to make it last longer -- 1) You cannot use a bicycle to land directly on "the" token, 2) you must get an exact roll to land on the token, and the best: 3) once everyone is racing for the token, you must deliberately try to land on a sleuth card as much as possible. By doing #3 "the" token gets moved all over the board, your pawn might get moved away from token, and you can block your opponents. It is fun without modifying as well, but we wanted more of a challenge. If your fam likes mysteries and guessing then this game is for you. Oh and one more note...the answer IS given to you as you go around the board because you collect clues, and then it's a race to be the first to guess. There's no deduction in this game. It's just process of elimination. Hope this helps if you are on the fence. ... show more
