True crime fans and anyone who loves a good murder mystery will appreciate this immersive game designed to make you feel like an actual detective. In the game, someone has just plummeted to their death beside the local dive bar, and it’s up to you and your fellow players to figure out who’s to blame. With lots of evidence, ciphers, and suspects to consider as you search for the truth, the game might take you more than the suggested hour-long play time — but don’t worry, because many Amazon reviewers report that they loved every minute of it.
Because this is a mystery, it’s only designed to be played once — as soon as you solve it, you already know the answer. But multiple reviewers suggest that it was totally worth it and that they enjoyed passing it along to family and friends once they cracked the case. If that doesn’t convince you, maybe. this will — it has more than 5,000 reviews on Amazon, and more than 4,000 of those give the game a five-star rating.
One fan wrote: “I actually screamed. Hunt A Killer-you just did that!! [...] I read that ‘Death at the Dive Bar’ was a 45-60 minute experience. I thought 'Ok, that seems pretty quick with all the deciphering.' I was surprised that everyone became quickly engaged. We quickly skimmed over the directions and went through all the evidence. We took a 'cookie intermission' and yes, 3 adults were playing. It took us 3 hours to come to a conclusion. We could have broken the session up into two sessions but another life could have been at stake! No time to tarry! After you have solved the case be sure to verify that you caught all the clues by reading through the hints and reveals. I fell in love with this game. The company was able to surprise me all the way to the end. I have no regrets!”
