Dorothy Munford, the owner of the publishing emporium named after herself, organizes the annual family reunion in the hotel that’s been hosting it for years and that has earned her trust.
Her daughter, her son and his wife, her new boyfriend, and her first husband attend the meeting. Mrs. Munford wants to use the gathering to meet her lawyer and change her will. The young man brings the documents that both Dorothy and her right hand at the company must sign; the latter, as a witness.
Instacrime is a cooperative game system which introduces you to a mystery that needs to be solved by a group of detectives. Each player must describe the contents of their photographs in order to share the information at their disposal with the objective of setting out a joint theory that explains the case.
Each case is unique and unrepeatable, and therefore, it can only be played once.
But don’t worry! If you want to make the most of it, let a group of friends play it and have fun listening to their theories.

La verdad es que no me ha gustado mucho, nos ha resultado muy confuso y no hemos llegado a conectar con la historia. Hemos acabado mirando la solución por aburrimiento.

Nice principle, which is very close to the Sherlock cases. This game includes some very nice photographs. However, the story and especially the solution to this particluar case is illogical and puzzling. How the persons act is incomprehensible. I would not suggest it.

Really liked the concept, but even after knowing the solution there are some jumps you have to make. In other words: Its nearly impossible to find out, who killed the victim imho. At the core isthe problem, that it cant decide if the focus should be on solving the crime (and discussing etc) or on discussing the pictures. For the former the details are too small and too many, for the latter there are too few details. Either you have to struggle to find them, but then they need to be watertight or they should be clear enough and then it should be about deduction.
