Not worth the price difference.

The first objective isn't possible to crack without the hint.
The evidence missed crucial detail to lead us detectives to the answer in objective 2.
The final solution was disjointed with no actual evidence leading to the killer and motive. A good story line that could have benefited from being a 4 to 5 objective case without having an ending that is so rushed.

Also we recieved the incorrect solution in the pack which now has ruined it for us buying that case file.

Excellent idea...poor execution

Not great

This case was fun to complete but in our opinion the needed evidence was not present. I don't know if we were missing something but others seem to feel the same as us.

Other cases were much better so I would suggest to rather do them if you can only do one.

Much better

We enjoyed this case very much. It was much better than the previous case we did and all the evidence that was needed was there.

The way you need to solve this one makes it very submersible.

Review: Silent Symphony

Wow! Incredibly engaging and fun. The detail and thought that went into preparing the case file is absolutely amazing. We were captured every step of the way and I think the experience is amplified when you see how much effort is put into this (interview sheets, voice recordings, images, etc). I wish I could do it all over again. Next we are tackling Deadly Inheritance. I can’t wait to see how much knowledge and skills from Silent Symphony will make me a better detective for Deadly Inheritance!

Only recommendation: include a sticker for us in the file that says “Solved” so we can paste it on the envelope after solving the case ;)

What the hell was this 🙃

Bro!! I’m deadass in shock !! Like what the hell!! This case was NOT lit. Like totally didn’t make sense. Take it down as 5/5 and make it -5/5 dawg! Wasn’t impressed. Way too much nonsense going on in this. Y’all just used off cuts of a case that didn’t work

Dissapointing

Most of the evidence supplied was not useful or had hardly anything to do with the answer required. There were a lot of typos and dates incorrect which misleads you. Definitely not a 4/5 rating for difficulty, answers are far too obvious.

Great game

We did it for a Valentine's date, we solved it very quickly and it kept our attention throughout. The packaging were high quality and the clues link up perfectly. Enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend this one. Can't wait to do the next one.

Exiting

We bought this mistary for valentine's, and we had so much fun. 😁 We can't wait to get more misterys to solve. Will definitely recommend this to anyone that wants something different to do that's out of the normal.

Thank you On the case for making thinking and solving problems exiting.

Good idea, poor execution.

Quite frustrating. The answers made no sense and only afterwards when using the answer key we noted that not all clues were shared. This takes away from the experience.

SETUP!!

Can someone please tell me what papers needs to go in what envelopes for the initial setup?
Had to reverse engineer the game which kind of defeats the object?

Super immersive!

We ordered Hillwood Horror and had an absolute BLAST solving the case! The product is excellently designed and super immersive. The attention to detail is mind blowing and we will most definitely be doing another case soon!!! 5⭐️

Underwhelmed

My expectations were high based on the high reviews. It took us 30 minutes not 90. Objective 1 was solved without any difficulty and perhaps we had clues missing but there was nothing hinting at the answer to the second objective and we were left with more questions. Maybe the other mysteries are better but I dont feel motivated to find out.

Quality Date night

I give it 5 stars but a difficulty rating of two stars, l am a Certified and Registered Private investigator it had me on my edge of my seat but its always one of the 5 Motives of murder but Jealousy is always evident when you look closely the facts never lie

Well done

Bonus objective was never given

In objective 4 the bonus objective was listed as the same as the normal objective. Both said “who murdered fulton” this ruined it a bit. Also objective one said you had to use the map to find out where the murder took place but there were so many places it could have happened other than the conductor lounge. I don’t understand how the map was enough to determine this… other than that we really really enjoyed it

Not worth it

I have played other cases before but this one was not fun at all and half of the information provided was not helpful or used at all.

Captivating right until the very end!

This game was a hit with my family! It was our first time, and the game kept us so engaged and debating with one another, for a couple of hours. We still kept talking about it after solving the case.

The story line is compelling and you truly feel immersed with all the detective work. It's engaging and enticing enough to solve without the answer key, FYI, we never needed to use it.

This was really excellent. There are some minor spelling errors - very minor (for improvement). But it doesn't take away from the experience at all. It was AMAZING. Definitely trying another one soon! I regret not ordering two.

WELL DONE!

I just wanted to thank the creators for the murder package.
My wife and I played it for our date night.
We are the type of couple who wants to do everything extra complicated.
We had 3 pages of notes, seoerate from the clues etc.

Amazing clues everywhere.
We got 3 out 5 objectives correct.

We couldn't get hints to make sure we are on the right track, online at the answer key page.
But...

Thanks to you, we had one amazing experience and we'll do this again.

Kind regards

A Good Idea, But Misses the Mark

On the Case has a great idea, but it doesn’t quite live up to its potential.

The game is set in South Africa, yet it uses US grammar, which feels a bit out of place.

The plot feels rushed and doesn’t seem fully thought through. The story doesn’t flow smoothly, and the connections between the clues, victims and the final answer feel forced. It’s almost as if they randomly chose someone to be the killer in the end without properly building up to it.

The answers to the puzzles are far too obvious, which takes away from the mystery. Some of the solutions don’t even make sense, and it feels as though they simply picked an ending at random rather than crafting a well-thought-out twist.

It’s a good concept, but the game needs better execution.

Cleverly thought out, very gripping and entertaining.

Really well written and interesting

We absolutely loved it! The showgirl case was very interesting and kept us busy for the afternoon. We're already trying to decide which one to get next.

Fun but incomplete

Tons of necessary information was missing in order to get to the end. No clues on who the actual criminal was, it came out of nowhere. Disappointed

Enjoyable, potential mistake in clue

We did it as a family and had a lot of fun. There was a potential mistake with the shoe sizes and matching suspects, please double check.

We enjoyed solving this one, however we felt that we needed more info as how to solve the x y axis to find out who hired the assassin. It didn't make sense. At the end we only guessed the answer.

Wow, so impressed on the detail and all the various ways to gather information for the case. I am officially addicted!

A game with a twist

Overall we enjoyed the game, and the twist at the end that required some out the box thinking. There were some clues (or objectives) that seemed to be lacking in substance and that did affect our enjoyment of the experience. Despite this, we had fun and will definitely consider playing a different game in future. I would however rate this case as moderately difficult (4/5 rather than 5/5).
