Have any of you played the "Hunt A Killer" or any of the other mystery games that are advertised?
I only named "Hunt A Killer" as that's the only one I could quickly find in my scrolling.
I'm trying to find something for us to do Thanksgiving/Christmas. It's only 3 maybe 4 of us. I thought maybe this would be different and challenging.
Any insight or experience?
Any recommendations?

Hmmm that’s not good!
I was hoping someone here had played them.

I actually looked at Hunt a Killer because my dd loves murder mysteries. But I thought it was way too expensive. I'd rather just get us some sort of board game, which is what I will do after I browse around online. |

I bought one of these for my parents for Christmas last year. They loved it. I don't think it is something you can sit and do in an evening. The one I purchased for them involved a box every month with additional clues to solve the mystery.

It would be ok if it went over a few days, but not months. |

What about one of those "Murder Mystery in a Box" deals? Where you would invite a bunch of friends over and have dinner and each play a character? You might be able to find one of those with a small minimum number of players. (*I* might try to put together something like that....maybe one for the people IN my house and one to try later over Zoom?  ?) |

We did an Unsolved Case File while we were on a family vacation (with our adult kids who we see daily and are in our bubble, no exposure to the "outside world  ) over Fall Break. It was fun. Several of the teachers at DDs school have them and pass them around. It was a good activity during this time. It took us probably 2-3 hours one evening. I'd buy another to add to the pool of those being passed around school. |

We do Hunt a Killer. Each mystery to solve spans 6 months, a box each month. We really enjoy it and it's been something to keep us occupied while at home. We made a murder board and turn on the Spotify playlist that they include a link to in the online tools, make a cocktail and just immerse ourselves in. Right now the one we are working on is a cold case from the 1930s. I actually just got our next mystery in the mail last week but we need to wrap up the current one before we start it. I believe they have a stand alone box as well that is one mystery to solve vs the monthly subscription but don't hold me to that |

I was wondering the same thing. I wouldn't mind buying one of these murder mystery games, but I'm sure some of these are a waste of money. Was hoping to get some recommendations of a good one to buy.
