Ratings and reviews

Super unique and entertaining! I've never played another game like this before, its truly one of a kind. There was clearly a lot of work and love that went into it. I bought the main game and expansion pack. I finished the main game in one day cause I couldn't put it down! I was immediately hooked after the demo/tutorial cases. Highly recommend this masterpiece, it is absolutely worth the money. Very excited to play the expansion pack next and I look forward to future updates!!

It would be 5 stars but you can only play 3 cases (1 of which was the demo) before you're forced to buy the whole game. Then I found out, after you have to buy it, you still have to pay for more additional things. What I did play was a really fun game. Liked the cases and finding the clues through the picture.

Just like the boardgames! The drawings and cases are witty and well thought out, with fun details, twists and turns! Definitely worth the small fee to play so many cases - especially considering how much you pay for the boardgames (which have about as many cases each - though I definitely recommend both). Looking forward to the next installment!
