Description

From the makers of Hunt A Killer, comes another thrilling murder investigation that can be played in just one sitting. This all-in-one board game for adults contains a murder mystery party in a box. The Hunt a Killer team of true-crime masterminds have meticulously created a living, breathing world where players become part of the story. With this authentic investigation kit, you’ll feel like you’re solving a real-life, high-stakes fatal crime. In Hunt a Killer: Dead Below Deck, one morning in the middle of a luxury Caribbean cruise, the charter, William Bonnys, wakes up hungover and heads to the sauna. There, he finds the body of Rachel Veinson, the yacht's stewardess. Captain Javier Rackhams attends to the scene and initially declares the incident an accident. Nevertheless, he still diverts course to Nassau, where the official authorities look over the scene, coming to the same conclusion. But was it truly an accident or were darker forces at play? Tap into your inner Sherlock Holmes and use forensic evidence to complete a timeline of the crime and eliminate suspects based on means, motive, and opportunity. Each suspect has a backstory, distinct handwriting, and other unique details that will help eliminate them from your list until only one remains. Discover the code to a locked tin, translate Morse code, interpret walkie-talkie messages, decipher a cryptic glyph language, and review maps of the ocean and the yacht itself. Realistic evidence and documents guide players through a challenging and immersive experience filled with unexpected twists and turns.

Immersive and fun
Style: Dead Below Deck
This is a very fun and interesting idea for a game night. One thing I like about these games is that they are focused on the investigation, puzzle-solving part. I mean, it's called Hunt a Killer, so whether or not you'd consider something like this "family-friendly" or "age-appropriate" is really a matter of opinion. While you have to remember you are trying to solve a murder, it doesn't focus on that. It's more about figuring out who had motive, opportunity, etc. The immersive style of the games is very fun. There's much more to it than rolling dice and moving pieces around a board. You have tangible items as "evidence" to examine and even a link to websites to get audio clues, and more. This does take a while, so it's great for game nights with multiple people. But you could also do the entire thing yourself if you wanted to. The only downside of a game like this is that it has a single ending so once you figure it out, playing it again would be like watching a movie or tv episode you've already seen. You may still enjoy it but you aren't going to be surprised by the end. But still for the experience and the amount of time it takes to play these, I'd still recommend these to any thriller/crime/drama fans. ... show more

Fun Mystery with nice quality evidence
Style: Dead Below Deck
My sister and I regularly tackle mysteries from Hunt A Killer, and this one was especially fun. The evidence included in this set was high quality and truly enhanced the overall experience. We especially enjoyed working through the materials together and piecing everything together as a team. Although we did need to go online to track down some additional evidence, we were able to quickly find what we needed to identify the killer. This mystery featured several coded messages that took us longer than usual to solve, but that only made it more engaging and satisfying. In the end, it turned into a fun afternoon adventure that we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves immersive, hands-on mysteries! ... show more

Detective skills
Style: Dead Below Deck
Love the hunt a killers, this one wasn’t my favorite and was a bit easier then some of the others but it was fun either way! Takes about an hour or two to finish depending on how good your group is at being a detective and how much wine has been consumed. Great to regift to friends since you can really only do it once! ... show more

Fun, but even more so when all the parts are there.
Style: Dead Below Deck
Bought Dead on Deck as a gift for a friend who likes these games. She said they did enjoy it, but something called out in the hints or instructions (not sure, never played it) was not in the box - hence the 4 stars.

Best Hunt a Killer game out there
Style: Dead Below Deck
Fun murder mystery game. Lots of puzzles and clues to sift through and they are all relevant to the murder. If you can connect the clues you’ll make a wild discovery! This one is the best hunt a killer game I’ve done, much much better than Death at the Dive Bar and Murder at the Motel.

Did NOT clearly mention the necessity of online resources
Style: Dead Below Deck
The instructions did not make it clear that you needed to go online for additional resources to solve the history. This was our second Hunt a Killer game, our first game we played had everything included in the box. It was really disappointing to get stuck after a couple hours of trying to solve the mystery, just to find out that we had to go online to access additional material which was not made it clear in the instructions. We thankfully were able to guess the answer without having to go online, but we were not able to use some of the main materials (like the map, or the bracelet) without being online. We bought a board game to play board game, not to go online. Would NOT recommend this one. ... show more

Lock Didn't Work
Style: Dead Below Deck
It was fun going through all the documents and online information to find out who the killer was, but we spent SOOOOO much time trying to unlock the tin inside because the correct code didn't work. The locks 3rd number was incorrect and caused quite a bit of frustration. And, not that it's a huge deal, but the main character's name was spelled wrong for the text. Overall ot was decent, but the frustration of the lock being programmed with the wrong code soured my opinion of this game. ... show more
