“Great for a group of kids. Not ideal for adult couples. Went to addresses where crimes took place but it was dumb cause there was nothing fun about it, got to each location just to be like ok now what. I figured there would at least be props or something rewarding but nope! Would have been nice to include the game w real people, like go in and talk to the bartender and you get a free drink. Things like that would make this game more fun.”
