Death in Antarctica Case Files Detective Game, 1+ Players, Ages 14+

Great for a family fun night

All of the information is there, but you will need to think outside the box and pay close attention. Typically these have taken me around 1-1.5 hours to complete, but this one proved to be extra challenging, with two of us taking almost 3 hours to fill out the suspect sheet and find the culprit. Loved the use of external resources for clue hunting; it made it really engaging!!

We enjoyed this one. This was the first time solving a "Murder Mystery Party Case Files" brand mystery, but we've solved many other brands. One of us prefers the detective style mystery games (favorite being "Unsolved Case Files") with less puzzles and usage of the internet. This fit that mostly. The online elements were well put together. The physical items were also quite nice and authentic feeling. For example, the photos were on real looking photo paper, the official documents were on heavier paper with nice letterhead, and there was even a journal with handwritten style script. Overall better quality items than "Unsolved Case Files." There were a lot of different papers to go through and a decent narrative. I will admit, there were a couple pieces that didn't fit or make sense until the epilogue explanation at the end, but it didn't hurt the overall mystery. (There is a misprint in a clue posted online, but if you're working the case correctly it shouldn't matter.)We look forward to solving another mystery from this brand!

I enjoyed this but we had a couple issues with it. One of the primary clues, which was supposed to reveal other info essential to solving the crime, no longer works. SPOILER ALERT: It is a phone number that has apparently expired or no longer is being used. It is supposed to redirect you to a mailbox or something similar, but instead it reads you an error code that means nothing to the game.There also seemed to be a couple other smaller plot holes that weren’t quite as important but that we noticed. We still had fun but it would have been nice to have been able to play it correctly and experience all the clues properly. I’ve played a few of these case files games but this one I wouldn’t gift just because it is faulty in this way.

My 13 year old daughter loves these! This is our third one and they are fantastic. Might be a little too easy for those that play these games often, but it is perfect for teens.

This was the first of these we have played. Very frustrating because you assume you have everything you need to solve the crime, in the CASE FILE. You dont, unfortunately, and that should not be how these things work. You should not have to got to the website to get additional hints/information, especially when, in this particular case, there was any easy way to give you the clues you needed, in one the documents already provided. It just needed to be writen better/differently. The documents provided were of good quality but again, all the info, hidden as best as it could be, should have been provide in the case file. Hopefully others mysteries are better arranged. This is one we probably won't pass along to friends or family because these are play one time only games.

My husband ordered this “who done it” mystery detective game as a surprise for date night. Initially I was a little skeptical, but once we started reading the case file, researching the characters & discussing alibis, it was actually quite fun & challenging. The game included a variety of unique clues that required interaction & some cooperative detective work! Overall it took us about 2.5 half hours to successfully solve the case. The game has a website that allows you to check your answer at the end to see if you did, in fact, find the true killer. The website is also available throughout the game in case you get stuck or need a little nudge in the right direction. Overall I thought the game was well thought out & entertaining!

I purchased this on sale for my daughter, a senior in high school and is president of her forensics club in hopes that it would maybe be a fun or unusual activity that would engage all the members, face-to-face. Because of the number of members in the club, I suggested they split up into groups so she took it to her most recent meeting, did just that and they loved it. Love love loved it. I even got different text from different members saying thank you for donating it to the club. I’m definitely pleased with this purchase, and will be purchasing more versions to donate.My daughter suggested that we use any new ones for family game night before she takes them to school to share with the club. Very cool.

كانت كويسة لكن صعبة شويتين لانها تتطلب معلومات مو موجودة في الاوراق ولازم تبحث بنفسك عنعا في الانترنت واماكن اخرىالمعلومات الموجودة في الورق تعتبر ٢٥٪ فقط من المعلومات اللازمة الباقي تبحث عنه

We love these murder mysteries, we tend to buy one at Christmas and love to work out the clues with our adult son.Definitely gets the brain working and will be purchasing another soon.This one in particular I found slightly more difficult to solve than others, but we were able to work through it and solve. It's easy to use, lots of paperwork to go through and read, and notepaper to take clues on.It would make a great gift or a game to play when friends come over.I do rate this game and think it is worth the money as you do spend a few hours working it out. Additionally, you could pass it on to someone else once you've finished as long as you don't write on the paper.

You might think you know who did it but make sure you go over every detail!!

Great for dinner party. Had a lot of fun completing and went into buy others

My daughter had her 13th birthday so she invited a few of her friends over to play. They all thoroughly enjoyed it.
