Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of realism in document design
  • Engaging narrative that challenges logical thinking
  • Excellent for both individual and group social interaction
  • No technology or apps required to play

Cons

  • Single-use game design with no replay value
  • Requires significant table space for spreading out evidence

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the game is straightforward: simply empty the contents of the case file onto a workspace with good lighting. No special equipment is required, though having a notepad and pen nearby for sketching out connections is highly recommended. Because the game relies heavily on paper documents, keep them away from food and drinks to avoid damaging the evidence. When you are finished, ensure all pieces are returned to the envelope to keep the game in pristine condition if you plan on gifting it to another detective after completion.
