Identity Games [www.identity games.com] Nightmare Horror Adventures | Murder Mystery Board Game for Adults and Teens (English Version)

Bought this for a fun game night with my wife, sister in law, and teenage son. This game was so much fun! It's a LARP style game full of suspense and twists. Highly recommend.

Role play mix with Murder Mystery. The deduction aspect is a bit weak but the atmosphere is good, especially at the end when the killer is revealed.The web application did a good job here.

The media could not be loaded. This game was fantastic. It took us hours to play, but it wasn’t tedious at all. It’s so fun if you turn off the lights and light some candles while playing. I think that really makes a difference based on these other reviews. The video describes what we liked about it, but I really recommend. I just wish there were others like this! It seems this is the only one so far 😞

We bought this game and wanted to enjoy it. Here's the things we feel you should know:1. START at the entrance to the mansion. Do not start at 1 (The Cellar). This isn't exactly clear in the instructions.2. EVERY action you take...movement from one room to another, looking in a place/searching..after you do that action, push the ACTION button. Do not forget.3. The game is timed and there are only a certain number of actions you'll be able to take. Don't try to do everything in every room or you'll run out of time before you get to the end.4. Look at the ENVELOPE that is in the box as it contains information you will need to actually play the game. We never saw a place where it said to look in the envelope, so we didn't do it. It would help a lot if you knew the suspects' names, etc. So, LOOK AT THE ENVELOPE.5. You WILL need at least 4 players. I'd suggest/recommend 5 players with a person acting as a GM who isn't playing a character, but who is running the game/app for everyone. It would've made things much cleaner and easier for us this way. It probably would for others playing it as well. This is NOT required to play the game, but it would probably be simpler that way.As a suggestion: Definitely be sure to set up an atmosphere. We used candles and flashlights. It will add to the fun of the game.Okay, so onto the review:We play a lot of these types of games. We typically play something similar at least once a week, so we aren't exactly new to them. However...because it wasn't that easy to understand the instructions, we can only give this a 3 out of 5.Good points: The story was interesting. The game play was fun. The uniqueness of some of the mechanics (especially with the blindfolds) was nice. However:1. The instructions were a MESS. We didn't see any clarifications online anywhere about it, so that's why my family said I should write this review and tell you how to play the game. We screwed up because we weren't sure about certain elements that should've been explained immediately before you played during set up. "Start at the entrance. Push Action button after each action you take (with examples)..." These would've helped.2. Not being able to replay it makes the game less than ideal. Many games are being made this way, so it's not a surprise these days.Now because the game is good (in general), we still would recommend it.

Excellent condition. Seller recommended.

This game has the potential to be a memorable evening for those who play it! On the box it reads “A Story-Driven Game”, that is the best description I can think of for this game. The issue our group had was trying to decipher what that meant before we played it. Well, after playing the game, my word of advice is that this plays more like a Role-Playing Game with board game elements. For those who are familiar with the world of RPG’s the app and the game mechanics acts as your Game Master and allows all people at the table to be players at the table. The characters are fun and memorable all while being vastly different in their characteristics. The storyline was well written and quite unique. Our table thought we had a solid idea of what happened but there were some pieces of information that we didn’t reveal that made the final picture completely clear at the end. It was set up to work in this world and as the app described the events of the game at the conclusion, we were all listening intently to see what we got right or wrong. This is a completely re-playable experience for different groups and the game includes instructions on how to set it up again for new players. I am excited to see what comes out of the Nightmare Horror Series and expect to be playing future games. If a night of horror role play sounds good for you and your group, Welcome to Crafton Mansion.

My kids loved this game. The only disappointing part was the box was open. We had all the game pieces, but if it was a gift, I would be upset.

Good integration with computer assistant. Able to be regifted with a little work. Five players is strongly suggested.
