Brought this for my daughter’s 7th year old birthday! Kept everyone entertained. Great tips in the instructions. It was easy to set up, and the girls had a lot of fun and was very excited to solve the mystery. The game lends itself to also taking initiative and adding your own twists to it. The girls took 60 minutes to solve all the puzzles. Will definitely check out their other items in the future!
