I think for a co-op detective game with possibilities, this is really clever. There is't a 'game mechanic' in here - more a collective story that unfolds as you together discuss and explore through a (sometimes cumbersome) QR code reader app. That app integration is fine, but still something that takes away from it being a board game. Once in awhile you get standard default answers when you're off track, but in general, it has a lot of flavor and reasonable replies. Good fun!

I recognize its appeal, but it didn't grab me. Not a fan of technology mixed with board games either.

Great game, still there are a few issues, but they are mainly caused by the translation in other languages. Sometimes the cards does not fully describe in my language (czech) a clue exactly. Sometimes you know all the answers but are not sure which cards to scan to answer them. A few times it did not give a number of the character, after their introduction, which prevented us in completing one of the "side questions" in third part of the campaign. I would advice to play in English.
