We have done many of these cases. We felt the Traveler was far too easy and predictable especially as it’s 5/5 and the most expensive. Would not recommend getting this case but would recommend their other cases.
We got to the end with a completely different solution of motive. However, this was our mistake. Pay close attention and open online resources when given a clue to do so. Otherwise a great experience, highly recommend!
We played this game together with another family. It was a great way to socialise and do something different on a raining afternoon. We enjoyed how the game was set out and it was the right level for the mix of teens and adults in our group. The ordering and delivery were really easy and quick, however we were missing 1 piece of evidence in our pack, thankfully it didn't prevent us from playing. I have been trying to contact the company via phone, WhatsApp, email and social media to get the missing piece of evidence and I am having no luck getting any feedback from them. Their after sales service could do with some improvement.
I played this one with my family and we all thought it was loads of fun. I would highly recommend it as your first case :)
Definitely would not rate it 5/5 difficulty, specially compared to The Traveller which is also 5/5. The Deady Inheritance was fun but different, would.make it a 3/5 rating.
I like the twist the game maker did with this one, more. Interactive clues.
1000% waste of money. The end result was completely something that didn’t make sense from the notes that was given.
This was a family Easter Weekend project. Enjoyed it very much. Not too easy or too difficult. Highly recommended
This was a lot of fun and checked every box. The story was interesting, the plot line felt realistic and the tasks were challenging. I will definitely be ordering again and keeping my eye open for new mysteries
I found this one so intriguing. Lots of great clues...just follow the clues...and make sure you read everything. Well done to the team who put this together. A great night's entertainment
It was fun to try something new, however the difficulty was definitely not a 5/5. Could be harder. The evidence was really good quality though! Loved how thorough and thought out the evidence was. 10/10 for appearance and story but I feel it could be even better with more complex stories
The whole concept of the murder mystery is super cool. It is very well organised.
But this particular case is really lame.
My 10 year old daughter and I completed it in a hour. It was a little too easy with lots of reading but we loved it.
A fun way to spend Valentines, picnicking in Kirstenbosch Gardens in Cape Town, solving a murder mystery! Very well put together and a whole lot of fun...
No number on any info except some random numbers that are kind of similar. Final puzzle makes no sense, does not get explained, motive completely unclear, the whole case is just a guessing game after you get past the first objective. Would NOT recommend.
We did this for Valentine's Day and really enjoyed it. It was challenging but not complicated if you take ALL the relevant information into consideration. We picked up some things that weren't relevant and didn't feel like red herrings but rather mistakes, but other than that, we were happy. Have already bought other cases to try :-)
This was the perfect activity for our holiday with friends. We felt like real detectives and A plot twist we didn’t expect at all. Highly recommend this. Will buy another for our next trip.
Loved all of the clues and well designed case documents. We did however feel the motive was quite flat. Would've liked a more concrete reason to want to kill anyone on a hike.....🤔😊
We enjoyed it for date, we did "The Traveller" - it was a lot of fun, we had to think, it is a very interactive game to play. However, I would recommend to putting a back story with the motives and why the murders took place by the murderer, even if it is just a conspiracy theory. However, all in all, it is a vibe. Thank you
We had such a good time! Can't wait to order more. We were really impressed with the quality of the print items we received, and the amount of effort that went into the design of everything. You won't be disappointed!
This was so fun. 10/10 would recommend. Looking forward to solving more of these cases.
4.5 stars
I enjoyed this case, but my parents LOVED it. This is our third On The Case (others were Deadly Inheritance and Seaside Homicide) and it quickly established itself as my parents' favourite of the three. They couldn't get enough of it. Took us 2-3 hours to get through only because we kept stopping to debate the evidence and suspects.
For myself, the story was too simplistic - would have been more interesting to see some of the undercurrents, such as the murderer's motivation, peek through earlier before the final reveal or through other forms of evidence. The brochure was cool. The map was an unexpected inclusion and great fun to figure out.
Overall, Thank you On the Case for an unforgettable family game night.
