Masters of Crime: Vendetta

Where to even begin with this bold and clever escape-room-in-a-box? In "Rapture", you are a cartel leader on the island of Cubaidos trying to get ahead of the local police in investigating some shady circumstances that could impact your "business."For those new to the genre: not everything is as it seems, and REVISITING past clues and materials will open new forks you may have missed along the path. For those that enjoy true crime documentaries/podcasts (which my partner and I are suckers for), this game was a lot of fun to theorize, speculate, and unravel in.My partner and I slowly ramped up interest as the game progressed, and we appreciated how rewarding the game was for attention to detail.What was very impressive to an escape room enthusiast like myself was the game's ending and the potential replayability of the game. If you DO want multiple playthroughs of the game, I recommend being careful with opening the sealed envelopes, and use pencil and eraser when making notes (we were ballsy enough to do everything through pen, Sharpies, and pencil). However, for most players, once you get through the story, that may be enough that a second playthrough is not as attractive. (Of course, this sentiment may be different depending on personal preference)For the cost of the product, there was a lot of bang for our buck! Highly recommend getting it, especially when it's half-off. This game had us diving into getting Vendetta and Shadows, and we'll be inviting my partner's nephews for the next game we play!

excellent game

My favorite of this series so far! These are really cool games that have players assuming much different roles than the normal detective one. A satisfying difficulty that has enjoyable payoffs.

One for the best games I've played by myself.

Great price, fast shipping, and I look forward to playing the game

I love most of the Thames and Kosmos games but I liked this one the least. Gameplay is a little clunky and the ending confusing and a little unsatisfying. I liked everything but the ending. A fun couple of hours for two people and you could play solo. . POSSIBLE SPOILER STOP NOW IF YOU DON’T WANT A SUGGESTION. Pay attention to timelines.

This was the first time playing a murder mystery box from this company. I had family over and we played this game together as a group. Overall it was a cool , fun experience! For it's cost, you definitely get the bang for your buck. The cards and evidence pieces felt sturdy and not cheap. The only thing was that you didn't have a total sense of direction after doing the first few locations. It could have been a little more streamlined so that players don't feel like they didn't do something right for them to go to the next location for decision making. Aside from small hiccups, I would buy another game from them.

Super fun, interactive game. Highly recommend
