I bought this for my mom for Xmas (which hasn't happened yet), but I've been playing with it. It is a super fun game! I was worried it would be rather stupid, but it can actually be quite challenging depending on the setting. The good news is that the game will dumb itself down if you are struggling with it. It is good for kids and adults. You can use one remote for several players. Story Mode only has one outcome, but if you play party mode (and you can play part mode by yourself too), it will give different suspects. The minigames can seem too easy and rather dumb on the beginning level--but don't be fooled! They can be extremely difficult on Super Sleuth level...and Diabolical settings for mysteries are very hard!

Interesting storyline, quirky characters, and progressively more complicated mysteries keep you playing for hours. Multi-player will have you competing for clues, while also working together in some mini-games for a satisfyingly frustrating good time! Helps children build good reading comprehension skills, hand/eye coordination, and communication skills with other team members. I would recommend this game for anyone over the age of 8.
I purchased this game because I love a mystery. I didn't really expect a miracle with the game, I mean a msytery game would obviously have some limitations compared to other games, but I had hoped for better. I started playing the game and knew immediately I had wasted my money. It was so simple my 6 year old could figure it out. Unfortunately, my 6 year old couldn't play the game because it requires a more advanced reading level than he has at this time. Many games have the words and the characters say the same thing...not this game. You HAVE to be able to read well to play it. So that ruled the game out for him. :-( I went ahead and played it anyway. I mean I paid for it right? I realized pretty quickly that it does get more difficult as you advance up the levels but that didn't make the game any better. And as far as a young child playing it, the advanced levels and amount of reading needed to eliminate suspects is just too much. On top of all of this I beat the game in just a few hours. If you want a game that requires thought, will last for days or even weeks with something new every time you play the game, purchase Lego Harry Potter.Read full review
This is a really fun family game. The difficulty is adjustable, so it's fun for adults and for kids (kids under 8 might have a tough time with the mini games and piecing together clues).

This is an interactive mystery game that has fun graphics, gives everyone a turn and has appealed to 6 year olds, pre-teens and adults in our household. This is a lot of fun to play together, challenging enough for adults and a great game night option.
