Death at The Dive Bar

This is a very fun and interesting idea for a game night. One thing I like about these games is that they are focused on the investigation, puzzle-solving part. I mean, it's called Hunt a Killer, so whether or not you'd consider something like this "family-friendly" or "age-appropriate" is really a matter of opinion. While you have to remember you are trying to solve a murder, it doesn't focus on that. It's more about figuring out who had motive, opportunity, etc. The immersive style of the games is very fun. There's much more to it than rolling dice and moving pieces around a board. You have tangible items as "evidence" to examine and even a link to websites to get audio clues, and more. This does take a while, so it's great for game nights with multiple people. But you could also do the entire thing yourself if you wanted to. The only downside of a game like this is that it has a single ending so once you figure it out, playing it again would be like watching a movie or tv episode you've already seen. You may still enjoy it but you aren't going to be surprised by the end. But still for the experience and the amount of time it takes to play these, I'd still recommend these to any thriller/crime/drama fans.

Fantastic game. Very realistic. We got it for our kids and another couple. Decided to try another game in this series. It says 90 min. Took the four of us 5 hours. And two bottles of wine. Had a blast. I think the next one will be quicker since we learned some processes. A great family game for a lazy day, or rainy or snowy day.

My sister and I regularly tackle mysteries from Hunt A Killer, and this one was especially fun. The evidence included in this set was high quality and truly enhanced the overall experience. We especially enjoyed working through the materials together and piecing everything together as a team. Although we did need to go online to track down some additional evidence, we were able to quickly find what we needed to identify the killer. This mystery featured several coded messages that took us longer than usual to solve, but that only made it more engaging and satisfying. In the end, it turned into a fun afternoon adventure that we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves immersive, hands-on mysteries!

Fun little puzzle. However,it could use some improvements. First, in order to solve the murder, there some code breaking is required. I eventually got it, after 3 days, but it was much more difficult than I would have expected for a first-time code breaker, which is probably most customers. Second, there are a lot of loose ends and details going on in the puzzle. I went to great lengths trying to tie them all up (can't say which ones, otherwise could be a spoiler). However, when opening the "solution" envelope, it gave the answer and a little bit of information, but many of the tantalizing loose ends that I tied up were not addressed/confirmed in the solution. With these modifications, it would get 5 stars.

Just finished this game and wow, what a blast! 🕵️‍♀️ These mysteries never disappoint and always keep me guessing. I love how immersive they make the experience, truly like being a detective! 🧐 It's so satisfying to piece together all the clues and finally solve the case. Definitely my go-to for a fun night in. Can't wait for the next one! 🤩

This was a fun evening activity! Well worth the price for over two hours of entertainment. Very detailed. Regarding the murder: The Who and why are easy but the how was totally lost on us-we had so much fun though! I like that it’s more free flowing and open, you read the intro letter and then just go at it examining clues. This is even an activity that you can do alone. After you’re done and you solve it, it can be passed along to someone else, too! So it is reusable but the storyline and solution remain the same.

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.

This was such a thrill. It is on a easier level for anyone wanting to start out or test their Detective skills. I played with a friend and I love it. We even had a notebook and took notes. Loved it! You get an autopsy report, evidence, crime scene photos, Didn't know what to expect going in but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Totally like single episodes like this one, including Death at the Dive Bar! Components don’t feel cheap at all and the gameplay is just so immersive. How I wish Murder at the Motel is also on sale on Amazon Sg so I could snap it up too.

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。

Not a very good game at all, most clues are useless
