Best "cold case" type game I've played
The folks behind Unsolved Case Files really have their games down to a science. I'm a mystery fanatic and an escape room aficionado, so when I started seeing the "cold case files" type of games pop up I knew I wanted to check them out. The ones from this brand are, by far, the best ones I've played. Firstly, I love the linear formatting. You can't proceed to objective b until you have completed objective a, which is beneficial if you're the kind of person who likes to see your progress as you play. There's a very clear beginning, middle, and end. Secondly, I appreciate that the stories actually make sense. This may sound like a weird compliment, but some companies putting out these kinds of games do not put a whole lot of care into them. I've never experienced that playing Unsolved Case Files. This is either my third or fourth purchase from them, so I've gotten used to their style. The stories always tie together very coherently and the conclusions are satisfying. Lastly, I appreciate that these games don't excessively rely on ciphers and codes. Don't get me wrong, I love a good cipher. Brain puzzles are the best. However, ciphers can sometimes become absurd and even take away from the overall experience when they're overused and/or unnecessary. These games stand on their own. They don't throw a bunch of random crap in just to fill space and time. The evidence provided is useful and engaging. Overall, I really enjoy buying from this company. They do a great job putting their stories together and they always provide a good experience. Our weekend game nights are always awesome when we play these!

Buy these, but not this one in particular
Stop, don’t let this be the first Unsolved Case Files that you buy. My family and friends have enjoyed doing this so much during quarantine. If we can’t be together in person we simply meet via zoom or Google meet and soLve the case. (It’s more fun in person, but...Pandemic. In the past we started with the Harmony Ashcroft mystery and that was great! So much fun and solvable! Next I purchased the Buddy Edmonds case and again it was a lot of fun. This one, however was more frustrating. It’s not that it was a tougher case to crack but I agree with other reviewers that the Cursive writing on a chalkboard is very hard to read even with a good quality magnifying glass. My partner and I both decided that we wouldn’t have purchased any of the other cases if this has been the first one we played so please order one of the other case files and have fun solving those! This one just wasn’t as well done. The story was a bit lame and the clues not as good. But I highly encourage you to buy these because they are so much fun to do. I’ve enjoyed them with my daughter ans son in law, and with friends. I’m just concerned that if someone buys this case first they won’t do any of the others because they’ll be turned off. So do purchase unsolved case files but purchase a different one. This one is weak at best.

Great fun for the Whole Family!
We're definitely going to do this again! Our family spent about 3.5 hrs on this and I was surprised how highly engaged everyone was! My parents (in their 70’s), my sons (both in their 20’s), my husband & I were all reading and searching for clues. Next time, we've decided that we'll open the file & then pass around the documents & let everyone have time to read everything before discussing. We needed note paper, a whiteboard or poster board, and post it notes to list people & clues. When you get stuck or want to submit your answer, there is a QR code or website to go to. Instead of one person on their cell phone, we should have projected it on the TV screen so we could all see it. We’re looking forward to the next one!

So much fun!
My family absolutely LOVES working on these "cases" together. Very fun!! This case had a few more red herrings and a clue we may never have found without internet help. But, still a good time.
