Great gameplay and mechanics, especially love the use of the app and 3D goggles. Ordinarily a game like this would lack replay-ability, but the many expansions and ability to create user-generated storylines keep the game fresh and entertaining.

Played this thrice already, and it's awesome! It's a really well-done brain exercise on deduction. Probably the only thing keeping it from a 10 is the fact that if you have older phones or bad lighting, or non-steady hands, scanning QR codes takes up quite some time.

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!
