Family mystery solving puzzle game

[thenewaveragebear1983]

I’m looking for recommendations for a family friendly mystery solving game (like escape room at home) - kids age 10 and 13, plus adults to join in. I keep seeing them pop up on social media but I’d love some real reviews

I’ve had a few from puzzle post over the years, and enjoyed them. Also the exit advent calendar is good fun.

We love these, bought a Christmas themed one to do as a family on Christmas Eve this year:

In the same boat, thanks for this thread OP!

I bought John Finnemore's "The Researcher's First Murder" but it's not proved very motivating for my kids - think they need to be a bit older

They do look good don’t they, we enjoy board games but they get a bit samey so fancied something different.

Just seen some cluedo ones which say for age 10+, they look good. Presumably some of these are a 1 and done type thing (eg once solved they are solved) but I think this cluedo one is a bit more like traditional cluedo where you can play multiple times?
