## Description

Product Description London, today. You just left the Police Chief's office. A body was found in Hyde Park, and your boss just made it your case. It's not your first investigation, but something about this one feels worse than usual. You shake off your thoughts, start th Review Select Guide Rating

Review: Absolutely love how interactive this game. There are multiple cases to solve with expansion packs both online and offline. You can download the App and look through the cases to see if they are the kind you are interested about. My sister and I really spent a range of 1.5hours to 5 hours for different cases of different difficulty levels. It's not limited to the standard 5 suspects from games of other brands so it makes you really think out of the box. The game flow changes depending on what you have scanned. E.g. only if you scanned an evidence and had a Hacker check it and only then will the suspects answer change accordindly. This also means if you missed out on some clues, its possible you will never be introduced to certain suspects or locations. Thus not completely the full game or giving you the whole picture. Although they give the 'solution' which is like an ending/ conclusion of the game. They don't disclose or inform the clues/ actions you missed and thus giving you a lower score. Thats the only irked part. However a simple google search might give you hints from other players on areas you missed and how to solve the game quick. I've played this detective series from other brands (Hunt a killer, Murder Mystery)
Review: I've had my eyes set on this game for quite some time and at last I got my hands on it. The inclusion of the mobile was not something I am very keen on in board games but it turned out to be much better than I expected. The cases and the characters are very well built so far and I love the graphic design of the materials. Plus as someone that is called OCD a few times, the box design is bliss. It has special compartments for every piece and also extra compartments for the pieces that come with the expansions and makes sure that nothing gets jumbled up when you put the game up on the shelf. I don't think I will be playing any of the cases twice because I don't like stories that I know the twists beforehand. But the two expansions and new cases that are being available through the app makes this game playable for a long time. I am playing this with my wife. I think that is the best number of players for this game because with more than two it may get boring for some of the players. I didn't use my low cost VR case that you can put the mobile in for the VR scenes which seemed too much of an effort at the time. Maybe it may be better like that but checking the VR scenes directly on your phone with two sets of eyes seemed rather more advantageous. All in all 10/10.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many scenarios are currently included on the app? Will more scenarios be added after the game is released?**
A: There is the tutorial which is 1st case, and 5 other initial cases. 1 case is 3 parts. There are 2 additional cases that you can buy now with 1 more coming out this yr and at least 2 more next yr and 1 box add on expected in 2019

**Q: Are the cases replayable or are they one-and-done like most escape room board games?**
A: Yes! you can replay these games if you don’t look at the solution. After you answer the questions for solving the case you get scored on what you got right and what you got wrong. I try to go back and resolve the case until I get them all correct. If you read the solution then you will know unless you forget later down the road.

**Q: Can you quit the game then come back to it later?**
A: You can leave the game but the save point, when I tried it, was the end game Q/A to solve.

**Q: Does each player need their mobile phone to have the app installed or can it be played with a single mobile phone passed around?**
A: It only requires a single device, but if you want to play on a tablet or iPad for a larger screen, you can connect a phone to it in order to utilize VR mode.  You can then use the tablet for the game and the phone for viewing scenes while the app keeps track of everything for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by E***D on 16 November 2025*

I own every version and expansion of Chronicles of Crime, and it’s easily one of my all-time favorite games. I backed the series on Kickstarter, traveled with it across continents, and introduced it to more people than I can count. I’ve played it solo, with friends in Europe, and with complete strangers all over North America — and it’s been a blast every single time. It’s the one game I always pack so I have something better to do than doom-scrolling during long trips. What I love The scenarios are well-paced with consistently strong writing. The QR-based investigation system makes each case feel immersive. The app is stable and polished across every version and expansion. Replayability stays high thanks to branching paths and clue variations. It works with any group size: solo, two-player, or a full table. Every box adds a distinct theme and gameplay twist. Fast setup and teardown for a narrative-heavy game. Very easy to teach, even to absolute beginners. What I like less The difficulty balance jumps around from case to case. Some scenarios reward scanning everything just to rule things out. It depends on a charged phone, so it’s not fully analog. Summary A standout storytelling and investigation system that stays fresh across countless scenarios. After backing it on Kickstarter, traveling with it worldwide, and teaching it everywhere from Belgium to the U.S., it remains one of the most reliable, fun, and replayable games in my entire collection. I’m genuinely excited to see what the next Chronicles installment will bring.
