Want to feel like Poirot, Homes and Watson?

Playing this game and solving this case 'The Kiwi', felt so real! The product and packaging were good quality. The scenarios and documents were clever and understandable; we had no issues solving this and had so much fun!

Very disappointing

Very disappointing. Having now done two Case Closed games, it feels like it's style over substance. Too many irrelevant documents and photos, not enough creativity, and too many leaps of logic required without enough actual evidence. Feels like work rather than fun - and I say that as someone who has enjoyed similar games. Two specific problems with this one. 1) The first objective on the printed card is 'Find the 3 suspects who were near the scene of the crime', but when you log in for a hint, it is actually 'Other than Dr Morgan, which 3 people knew that the egg was in the incubator?' These are not the same and do not have the same answers. 2) The final solution would have required so much forward planning and logistics, but the culprit could not possibly know that a kiwi egg was going to be laid on that very night. Major plot hole. Very disappointing.

Disappointing ending

We have enjoyed 2 previous games (The Aussie outback and the Tauranga ones) but were very disappointed in the Kiwi. Not so much the game itself but felt that the clues didn't lead to a strong or logical conclusion. We felt that there were too many unanswered questions and many inconsistencies - found ourselves asking "Yes, but WHY?" So sorry but this one really did disappoint.

Such an awesome experience

Played with my family and everyone was involved trying to solve the clues and going over the paperwork. Took us a while but we got there in the end. We will definitely be getting another game.

I could not get it right on the first stage

I could not get it right on the first stage. I opened envelope 2 and still could not work out how one of the suspects was identified. I did it by myself and perhaps I just did not absorb all the information.

My partner and I had so much fun

My partner and I had so much fun. We did the Kiwi case first. Was a lot trickier than I thought it would be. We are saving the others for special occasions.

Look at the small details...

This one was a bit trickier....the start up documentation is vital throughout the case, look at everything closely. This is our third case and we needed the hints this time.
Flexes the brain for sure.

Have Questions?
We Have Answers.

Get quick answers to common questions — from shipping to solving your case.

How long do they take?

Most of our detective games take around 1 to 2 hours to solve — perfect for a date night or an evening in with friends. Some teams race through faster, others take their time following every lead. There’s no rush — the case is closed when you say it is.

How many people can play?

You can play with anywhere from 1 to 8 players. They’re great for a solo sleuth, date night duo, or a full group of friends. We recommend 2–6 players for the best experience — enough brains to crack the case, without everyone fighting over the evidence.

Is there an age limit?

Our games are designed for ages 13 and up, since they include crime themes and murder investigations. Younger players can still join in with some guidance — but the mysteries are definitely made for teens and adults who love a good challenge.

Can it be passed on as a gift?

Absolutely! Each game is single-use, but once you’ve solved the case, you can pass it on to friends or family to enjoy. Just make sure all the evidence is neatly packed back into the case file — no spoilers left behind!

Do I need internet to play?

Most of our games can be played completely offline, but they all include an online answer key if you want a little help. Tasmanian Terror is the exception — it includes a digital clue that requires internet access, so maybe don’t take that one camping!
