We were pretty stumped by the final solution as we had no evidence pointing to it, and when looking at reviews on the site we realised that we were missing A LOT of evidence that was just not included in our pack. Very disappointing! We've played two other mysteries and they were a lot of fun. But unfortunately due to shoddy packing this one was a let down.
B-o-r-i-n-g...no real mistery, very basic, a bit disappointed with this case. Finished it in an hour, don't think this one was well put together. If you have to - and you new to these mystery games, do this one as your 1st Case. My opinion it does not stack up against the other quality cases.
A delicious mystery to solve! We had such fun untangling all the evidence.
It was really fun to play this with my partner, we were confused on whether to read all the evidence first or open the 1st objective...more instructions on that would have been helpful, but overall it was a really good case.
We bought 4 games for a team-building activity, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience! The games were so much fun — everything felt very relevant to South Africa and the materials looked just like real detective notes and documents.
The after-sales service from Nicole was incredible, and delivery of the package was extremely fast. We will definitely be playing again!
Of course, we turned it into a competition — but what stood out most was how each of the four teams worked together. We laughed so much, strengthened teamwork, and enjoyed every moment.
It was truly a fantastic experience!
Should have been detectives. We got the right muppet sent to jail for their crimes. Was very fun to do. My girlfriend and I had a blast. Would recommend this for everyone. Better than just watching a movie.
I ordered this for my boyfriend and u to try for his birthday. We absolutely loved it! The little details added like the website that actually works and the comments on the posts on the website was so cool!
We only figured out there were hints after we finished but we had so much fun figuring everything out we didnt even bother looking at it.
I highly recommend this to anyone
We had a great time progressing through the mystery, however the final solution was put into objective 3' envelope, and that spoiled the entire game and drive to continue as the conclusion prematurely revealed.
Great game, but please focus on packaging the envelopes correctly
The hiker was a throughly enjoyed experience... Just the right level of difficulty to leave you guessing and wondering right up until the last objective... 5 stars!
We did this as a group of friends. Wine was flowing and laughter all round. Some of the team were very competitive and there were those that we need to watch if someone mysteriously goes “missing’. Highly recommend for for a great evening of laughs.
This was the first case that we chose to do, given the other good reviews. My husband and I enjoyed solving this, and we made use of the hints on the site to helo guide us at some points. I do however, feel that the answer at the end came out of nowhere. !!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!! There was no indication of who the actual original murderer was, and I felt it came out of nowhere because the person was barely mentioned before. I feel that the creators should add some more information about the suspects families, and connections to different places. This woukd have made it slightly clearer as to who the murderer was. There was also a victim that had very little focus on him, and I felt he was a very important part of the case because his murder is the reason for the others! More information should have been given on his murder.
WE had such a good time, two hours of a fun evening and interesing twists, i would recommend this to all!! cant wait to purchase my next case. You guys have a great idea keep making more!! thanks
We had so much fun solving this at our girls weekend away! A lot of effort went into creating the game and cool small details. They guide you to find the killer in three different steps and mini investigations! I will buy another game again as a date night idea! I however do think this was not the best case, and you should rather buy another one, as we do think the evidence was too vague and one had to "assume" facts in order to catch the guilty party.
I loved the entertainment this brought to an adult party!
We enjoyed trying to crack the code with the evidence provided.
It would be useful to get a more specific guide of the order to follow as we spent quite a bit of time deciding on whether we should read objective 1 first or read through all the evidence.
This is the second game we've bought from On The Case.
The first one was Deadly Inheritance, there was no way we could have guessed the murderer as the information provided made it seem like the murderer had not ever met the victim. We sent an email asking where that clue was with no response.
For High Altitude Homicide we received a duplicate police profile and were missing the detective interview for the person who ended up being the murderer, again we tried to contact OTC to complain with zero response. So I do recommend any game from On The Case and we will not be buying another one.
My fiance and I thoroughly enjoyed this case. I decided to purchase it for his birthday and we solved this case while enjoying a cute picnic. Hundred percent recommend!
The original company’s website can be found at onthecase.co and is based in the UK.
This appears to be a plagiarised version of the original. I do not recommend purchasing from this website, support the original creators.
It was played by myself, my partner, and his daughter. This was our first case and in having no idea what to experience or how to begin, we found this game an easy, fun, and intellectual experience! It was easier than we thought to figure out how to play the game, the case was a good challenge, it brought us closer by allowing us to create voices for each character and seeing how one mind works to fuel another and get the case solved was absolutely fantastic and an adrenaline rush.
We had to place the clues and photos on a whiteboard to give us the entire skillset needed to become great detectives.
The creators of On The Case have well and truly changed the dynamic of ‘at home board games’, and we will certainly be experiencing many more cases in the future!
My wife and I were super excited to play this and made sure we had enough time to experience an awesome murder mystery... Well there was a murder but the mystery was definitely lacking...
For a first time it was a fun 30 minute read. But it really lacks actual mystery. I'll definitely try one again. I just hope the next one actually has some mystery to it.
I will say it is beautifully put together though!
The Game was as always fantastic but the courier guy did not deliver it to me over night as paid for and requested i had to fetch it myself at their branch and now they dont want to give me back my money...
This is our second game and each clue is designed well. The game is a fun way to spend time with a family with older kids.
The reason for only 3 stars is we have sent 2 messages to the On The Case team with zero response. The first one was to clarify how a character would know something and in this game we were missing an interview but received a duplicate police profile. That makes it a defect product and we were ignored.
Very disappointed with the premium case , expected alot more from it. Expected it to be alot harder and have more depth. There were alot of loose ends at the end that was not answered by the final solution.
Did it just myself and my girlfriend. We "finished it" in about 2 hours, but we did need a couple hints because some of it is pretty difficult. I'd recommend really taking your time, like read EVERYTHING multiple times and use a whiteboard or something to write down everything of note. Missing 1 thing can basically ruin the entire game down the line. Super well put together and very fun.
Had an absolute blast playing this with the family... loved the added touches like the recorded calls, really shows how much care and thought went into it. Loads of fun, twists and turns. Really enjoyed it and can't wait to do another.
Totally enjoyed our case. Everything was well put together and gave us a great challenge!
