Hunt A Killer: Death At The Dive Bar, Solve a Murder at Old Scratch Tavern, Immersive Murder Mystery Game, Play Detective in Unsolved Mysteries, Great Gift For True Crime Fans, Designed for Ages 14+

Got this for date night with my husband. Arrived very quickly and perfect condition. And the game itself was very fun to play! It took us almost 2 hours to solve it, and we had a great time doing it. We both agreed it was definitely good for 2 players, and if either of us had done it alone, it would have been way more difficult. It reminded us of Escape Rooms we've been to, which we love doing. The clues are fair, and not super easy to figure out. The only down side is, it's a one-and-done game. But we plan on passing it to friends for them to have fun solving it as well! I'd definitely recommend getting it.

This was really fun! It took six of us about two hours to complete. Great for a vacation or rainy afternoon. Good quality clues. Make sure to read the instructions carefully!

Lots of fun for a date night with my wife. We had fun piecing together the mystery murder. We spent about 2 hours to complete this one.

At home date night with husband. We had a great time solving & it was fun to play. Only drawback is it requires a lot of reading so those that don’t like to spend a lot of time reading during game play may find it too much.

This game was way more fun than I thought it was going to be. I knew that it would be fun, but it exceeded our expectations ten fold. It's a play at your own pace kind of game, so having to take a break to let the dog out or grab a snack or just get up to stretch your legs is totally no problem and you'll be able to pick up where you left off pretty easily. It came with clear instructions and an inventory list so you could make sure you have everything you need before starting the investigation. The game time says 45 to 60 minutes, however, it took us quite a bit longer just casually playing. I'm going to guess it took about two hours, but of course that included a couple breaks. You'll solve ciphers, establish a timeline, and organize evidence to solve the case. The only downside that I can see to this game is that the outcome will always be the same, so you can really only play it once. That being said, the three of us that played definitely all agree this was the most fun we've had playing a new game in a very long time. I listed it on my local Facebook marketplace so that maybe someone else can enjoy it as much as we did. We will definitely be ordering more of these. 10/10. HIGHLY recommend if you're into puzzle games.

I have a pretty cool mix of friends who are either true crime junkies like myself and/or cops (and their spouses). We are ALL true game junkies and love games of all kinds. Co-op, competitive, mystery solving, deck building, board games, card games, dice games.. you name it we play it! There is always a new game appearing at our table. We also love escape rooms, but during COVID times we haven't been able to do any, so we decided to check this out as a sort of combo of the two! We played with 5 adults and one 12 year old and it took us about 90 mins (we really like to discuss and argue lol). We were very impressed with the materials we were provided, and found the difficulty level to be appropriate. We did use 2 clues at the very end (and we only used 2 because the first one we revealed told us something we were already certain of/paying attention to). Some of us at the table had already arrived at the correct conclusion, but the clue confirmed our suspicions. So, in the end we solved the murder, had a great time as a group AND decided we'd all like to split a monthly subscription box to continue to play in the future. As for replay... well, unless it's been a really long time and you have a bad memory, you're probably not going to replay this. But again, we had a great time and I definitely consider this good value for our money. Especially when you consider comparable options you can't do at your own home and their expense, expense for sitters, travel, etc. We would definitely recommend and this is a great primer to try out the game without having to subscribe (but be forewarned, you may want to when you're done!) PS: The phone number is real.

After doing a few really terrible at home escape rooms, I found Death at the Dive Bar and it was absolutely amazing! The other at home escape rooms were terribly difficult. And I want to say me and my well seasoned escape room friends aren't very bright, but the clues were impossible to figure out without guidance! The story was good but the game would jump from A to M and it made no sense how it got there. The website for hints was difficult to navigate and overall, it was more frustrating than fun. That said, Death at the Dive Bar was like a breath of fresh air! The story was good and we managed to figure it out while only needing one tiny hint. The website to get the hints was also very straight forward, though the password to get into it was super annoying (try a zero instead of an o). The instructions were well written, as was the story. What really stood out about this set were the clues! They were all printed on different types of materials so it felt real! Newspaper clippings, bar menus, bags, legal documents.. It was very well made! They didn't skimp on the materials! My friends were also impressed. The entire thing probably took us (2 people) about 1-2 hours, but we were taking our time admiring over everything. We definitely had fun! Even better was that nothing needed to be ripped when going through it so I was able to box everything up and hand it to my other friends for them to try. (They also really enjoyed it) 10/10 absolutely would recommend! I hope this same company makes more!

My wife loves murder mysteries so I ordered us this for a date night. The game itself is well done. The clues and process of working thru everything is fun and engaging. Some of the clues are a little tricky so we had to get some hints. But all in all, it was worth it and we had fun.

Super leuke spel! Ik heb hier echt een avondje plezier mee gehad met mijn partner. Echt een aanrader!!

タイトルは修正されましたが、「ダイブバーで殺人死を狩りましょう」 じゃない。ダイブ・バーは被害者が経営していたバーの名前。 「殺人死を狩りましょう」じゃなくて、Hunt a Killer（殺人犯を 探し出せ）。 殺人事件の資料（捜査資料、脅迫状、被害者のメモ、ダイヤル鍵付きのバッグ、etc）を元に、 犯人（これの場合容疑者は4人）を当てるゲーム。行き詰まったら、メーカーのHPに ヒントがあります。正解は同梱の封筒に入っています。 日本語のタイトルは写真でも分かる通り、Hunt A Killerシリーズの『デス・アット・ ザ・ダイヴ・バー』です。『ムーンサミット ミステリー コンプリートボックス セット』は、これと同じ様なゲームが7本入っています。米アマゾンから買いました （送料手数料込みで200ドルくらい）。 追加）解いてみましたが、写真に不明瞭なものがあるのが不満だったものの、 まあまあの内容だと思います。暗号解読が一つのポイントですが、それほど のものでもありません。 2021年12月にアガサ・クリスティものの新作が出るので予約しました。 =============================== 1930年代にDennis Wheatleyがプロットを提供してCrime Dossier（犯罪調査書類）というミステリー のシリーズ（Murder off Miami, Who Killed Robert Prentice?, The Malinsay Massacre, Here with the Clues! の4作）を出版しました。これは、A4判位の大きさで、事件の調書や証拠物件（タバコの吸殻、手紙、電報、etc）も収めたもので、最後に解答が封印されているというものです。1970年代にアメリカで復刻され（それを私も買いました。 Here with the Clues! だけオリジナルの中古版）、日本でも（証拠品は印刷だけど）翻訳が出版されました。さらに、同様のものが、『佐武と市捕物控 死やらく生』（1983年）とか和久峻三の『雨月荘殺人事件』（公判調書ファイル・ミステリー）（1988年）とかの形で世に出ています。シャーロック・ホームズものの実録（ドイルが書いたもの）に沿った形のものも出版されています（オリジナルは証拠品のレプリカ付き、復刻版は全て印刷）。 望むのは、日本のアマゾンでもこれ以外のHunt A Killerシリーズを取り扱うようになって、もっと気軽に注文できるようになることです。さらに出来るならば、ゲームそのものを日本語化して欲しいですし、更に更に、日本でもこれに匹敵する様なゲームが作られるなら、それはもっと喜ばしいことになるでしょう。 日本でも、これに近い推理ゲームを作っている所があります（購入もしています）が、それほど話題に なっていない所を見れば、世間一般の感想は私と一緒なのでしょう。今の日本にも優秀なミステリ作家 が大勢いるのですから、彼等の協力を仰いでこの様な作品を作るのはそんなに困難ではないと思います。

Nice family game

Save it for a rainy date night at home. Both of us enjoyed ourselves and the code breaking was hard enough to keep us going. I really appreciated the level of detail in the evidence

Ok I have tried the Unsolved Case Files which are also very immersive and fun to spend a couple of hours on. The only reason why I didn’t pick Hunt a Killer first was I didn’t want a subscription. So this standalone box from them really caught my eye and I knew I must give it a try! Fantastic! And I grabbed Mystery at Magnolia Gardens and Body on the Boardwalk as well. Truly hope Hunt a Killer does more of such one-off boxes.
