Detective for a Day Reviews 619

Legit website. Products arrive.

It was so much fun! We are totally buying more cases. A very good experience with fun and intriguing puzzles and clues

Incredibly fun and engaging to play. Perfect if you enjoy solving puzzles through thorough investigation and connecting dots. You immediately get sucked into the story with all the information provided through different media, and it's so very satisfying to unravel bit by little bit. We started with a medium difficulty one (the yacht) and that was the perfect amount of challenge for me and my parents. We unanimously agreed to order two more right after we were done and I can't wait to try those out too!

I had an amazing time with my brother as we solved the Yacht Murder Mystery. Everything from the websites to the logs was done with care. I recommend getting this case.

This one had us baffled but we did solve it! The plot twist was amazing and we had so much fun. Really makes you think outside the box! 10/10 recommend!
The detective of the day is absolutely brilliant at putting together a strong but very enjoyable cases and I will be getting the other cases!!

We played murder on luxury yacht. It was a great experience - we had lots of fun.
Maybe just a little note for creators - the crucial piece of evidence to solve the murder in the text in the photo. However when the photo was printed you guys have cut the lettering so we couldn’t link the hand writing to the note.

Lots of thoughtful details and very clear instructions. Super cute and a great way to spend a date night at home!

The game was fantastic! All the details were very well thought out, even websites! We thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you will continue making more games for us to enjoy :)

It was a great time, had fun while looking through the evidences. It could have a bit more turnaround, but the documents are really well done.

The experience was amazing!
We received everything in the package.
The only downside is the delivery.
We have waited almost 3 months to receive the case (in Europe, UE, so not that far).
First package was lost in transit, however they were nice enough to send us another package for free which has arrived.

It’s like doing an escape room but at home. Great fun!!!

Shipped materials made it all the way to New Zealand! We've played many games like this (Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective or Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game, for example) and what we liked about this one was the variety and level of detail in the printed content - business cards, maps, acetate sheets, architectural renders, etc. It was fun discovering what the designers came up with that would fit into a single mailable paper envelope.

We had the best time solving this case. It’s so much fun. Will definitely be ordering more cases. Keep up the great idea. Absolutely loved it.

Was having fun at first, then when I opened envelope C, it was a task for another detective game. So the mix up ruined the experience for me but up till that point it was fun

The “Open first” envelope contained the answer….This is just funny…I got this as a fun gift for my girlfriend and it was ruined on the first move….Both the Open first and Envelope D had the answer inside. We should have understood earlier when there was nothing prompting us to open Envelope A…Very disappointed. The rest of the material was cool though

My partner purchased for my birthday, Envelope B contained the answer to the crime which also duplicated in envelope D.

Since the post I received a response and more than happy with how it was handled. Thanks so much, my partner has emailed you

Really interesting way to spend an afternoon. Great fun.

My husband ordered this in late NOVEMBER, as a Christmas gift for me. It never arrived. We have emailed support and got a somewhat rude and unprofessional response, insinuating that our address was wrong. Of course, that was expected because when looking at all the negative reviews on Trustpilot, that is their default response. No accountability. Our second email went unanswered, and the replacement package never arrived. The Trustpilot responses claiming that non delivery is not the company's fault, in addition to choosing a courier partner that does not offer tracking links, demonstrate their lack of professionalism and low interest in customer support. Yes, a customer not receiving your product with YOUR selected courier partner is your fault. Take accountability and gain some customer support skills.

We really enjoyed the game, we spend a nice evening at home solving it! It took us about 2.5 hours and we found the murderer!

The materials were the best I've ever seen for a game of this type. Newspaper cuttings, letters, suspect interview transcripts.

Fun game, with enough challenge to keep you thinking, but not too much that it's frustrating.

Took 3 of us just under two hours, but we have a lot of experience in these games, so could be longer with a less experienced crowd.
