University Games Mystery, Mind and Logic - 30 Second Mysteries Red

Great game to take anywhere.

Most of the cards seem to take a relatively well-known scenario, use ambiguous language, and ask you to solve it. If you have ever seen those descriptions of famous movies or novels where the language is elevated or changed to make it a challenge to identify the title, then you will see a lot in common with this game. It's not a bad concept, but it does not seem like a mystery to me. I guess it is more Mind and Logic and less Mystery.

My 21 year old daughter and I love solving mysteries and doing escape rooms (in person or in a box) and thought this would be a fun little way to pass the time. Some of them were pretty simple even without looking at the "clues"...others we had to rely on a little help from the clues on the cards. Although you can't re-play them once you've gone through them---you can either pass them along to friends or family OR be the "narrator" if you do them with different people. For the price, a fun distraction in these covid days. =)

This was great for a long road trip. One person read the clues and everyone else guessed. We played several 10-minute rounds throughout the road trip and got through the whole tin in under an hour. This is not a game that will get reused, though--once you've guessed the answers, it isn't any fun to do them again. We'll pass it along to another road tripping family.

Love this and glad I found it. Purchased for my Girl Scout troop to help them complete their detective badge. It ended up being a great car travel game when I took 5th graders on a one hour drive to their camp. They loved it too.
