Vibe's take

Immersive, cerebral, collaborative, absorbing

Who it's for

Groups of 2-4 who enjoy true crime, puzzle-solving, and don't mind spending an evening debating evidence. Brilliant for couples who love escape rooms.

Not for you if…

Skip if you want a traditional board game experience or dislike reading lots of text. Requires internet access and patience for slow-burn investigation.
