I was excited to try The Murder Game, but I found some puzzles overly complex and a bit frustrating. The concept is great, but clearer instructions would have helped a lot. Perhaps it’s meant for more experienced players?

Great Concept, but Some Flaws
I enjoyed the Murder Game overall, but a few of the puzzles were a bit tricky and unclear. It took us longer than expected to progress. Still, the theme is intriguing, and I’d play it again with some adjustments made.
