[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is a lot of fun to play. Everyone in my family had a blast playing it. It reminds me of a different game with the same concept. We will definitely continue to play this game. I highly recommend giving it a try, if you love board games.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This board game is endlessly fun, but be sure to read the rules carefully. An adult will probably have to help younger players get the hang of things as it involves selecting cards and utilizing those as clues to solve the crime through process of elimination. I love that it inspires critical thinking and reasoning, and the game itself is visually appealing and well constructed. Strong points being that the game is different every time, the dry erase boards make for note keeping and simple clean up, and it was appealing to young and older players alike. I feel like the learning curve for extremely young players might require a little assistance at times. Another point being that solving the crime itself doesn’t guarantee a win, and you have to play carefully and strategically. I actually like this factor because I feel that older players might have less of an advantage in this case because the luck of what cards you draw can also influence who wins. This adds an interesting element to game play.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great who-done-it game of deduction. My 7 year old loves it. Kids really have to use their brains to figure out the the case. Everyone tries to solve the case, and whoever uses the least clues wins. A great quality game you can play over and over again. A great game of deduction for kids and adults.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My whole family has a blast playing The Key: Murder at the Oakdale Club. It’s about a 20 min game, that you get to investigate clues to find out who is the murderer. It has been a great addition to our family game night.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed playing it with my kids.it more appropriate for teen kids and adults.it has too many instructions to follow for young kids.it take up to 15-20 minutes to read the instruction and setting it up ready to play and make other know how to play.but it's a fun game.recommended.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I love doing murder mysteries, especially with friends! So when we saw this version for kids, we knew it would be perfect for our kids and theirs to play while we are doing our adult versions! They love to play, and it’s great that it can be played over and over with multiple outcomes. Overall, this is a great game!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On first glance, this looks like a game created in the years passed. The artwork on the box is more subdued in color giving it a vintage vibe, something I associate with those too old to play a game called Clue. Which is exactly a good thing because this is for older kids, it’s more mature in language and rules/goals to win. I will say i liked the cultural and racial diversity it incorporated and while it wasn’t as exciting as something like kings island, it wasn’t dull and it’ll allowed for higher critical thinking than it’s relative board game Clue.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing family-friendly deduction game with quick set-up and simple rules. The use of programming system to make the clue finding takes a time to get use to but it is quite awesome to play with my 8 and 10 year olds. It is a short game that last 20 minutes so it can keep you engaging.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a family who LOVES escape rooms we were so excited to give this at home mystery game a try. It was a huge hit once we got all of the rules down. This took about 5 or so rounds with my 9 year old. She now loves it and wishes we could play it all the time!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a fun game. My daughter is 10 so we needed something a little more challenging, and this was just the ticket. The game is also really well made. The pieces are very nice and high quality.
