What players say
Propably the longest one out of the 3 games. Still its a new unique story and it was nice to just play something different, easy and straight forward.
This was a surprisingly incredible trilogy! I really enjoyed its writing and humor, and it feels very approachable in regard to the greater pool of mystery solving games, I believe everyone should play these!
Got it for my kids. They finally beat all 3 and they want a 4th one or a Mystery Monkey game.
