A Wealth of Murder

we played for a date night and absolutely loved it. we were through it in about two hours and got it right! we loved how in depth it was. definitely gonna do some more of these in the future.

Beware before buying "A Wealth of Murder" from the Hunt a Killer series—it’s a letdown from start to finish.
Overall, the experience feels less like an immersive murder mystery and more like a chore in reading character notes.
By the end of our journey, my game group was struggling to stay focused, and that’s saying a lot considering we love mystery games.

Don’t expect clever clues or satisfying puzzles here—most of the information you receive is vague, repetitive, or story-driven.
Instead of building suspense or intrigue, the story drags on with pages of backstory that lead to ambiguity.
During our playthrough, we constantly found ourselves wondering if we missed something.

It’s incredibly frustrating when you spend hours combing through documents only to realize the clues were either too obvious or made little sense.
The final “reveal” of the killer was sadly disappointing—it felt incoherent, not a well-planned twist.

By far the worst part of the game is how little payoff you get after so much work.
Unsolved story threads, loose ends, and one-dimensional characters make the experience feel unfinished.
The motive of the killer is debatable, and the evidence pointing to (him/her) is flimsy.

Rather than having my suspect named as the killer, a character with layers and actual potential, it is strange that another suspect was pushed as the culprit.
One would expect that a game built around a murder mystery would take advantage of its strongest characters, but no—"A Wealth of Murder" missed out on the opportunity to name the logical suspect.
Most of our group agreed that if somebody else beside the named killer had been the culprit, the story would’ve made more emotional and logical sense.
As it stands, the choice of the real killer felt like it came out of nowhere just to shock, not to satisfy the missing piece of the hours-long puzzle.

Some clues don’t even connect to the solution well, making the whole process feel like busywork rather than real detective work.
Hunt a Killer usually does better than this, which makes the failure of this particular game even more frustrating.
Overcomplicated subplots and forgettable suspects only add to the confusion instead of building a thrilling narrative.
Unfortunately, the more we played, the more we realized we weren’t solving a mystery—we were just trying to make sense of a mess.
Logic takes a backseat in this game, and by the end, none of us felt clever or accomplished—just annoyed and bothered on the game's killer.
Don’t fall for "Hunt a Killer" reputable past on previous mystery gamest; it promises more than it could ever deliver.

Honestly, this game was disappointing.
All the effort we put in felt wasted, and that’s not something any game should leave you feeling.
Very few games from this series have left such a negative impression, and this one sadly tops the list.
Everyone in our group agreed— the makers got the wrong killer; a wronfully-accused suspect will be imprisoned while teh "real" murderer remains unscathed.

This was the 7th game I've done by Hunt A Killer and by far one of my least favorites. The storyline itself was interesting and the code was really fun to solve, but a lot of the answers mentioned in the final solution could've applied to almost all of the suspects. By the time we were ready to reveal the killer, we had eliminated all but one person, including the actual killer, and we went through a lot of effort to solidify our eliminations. We were so sure of the killer being this person, going through and finding their means (easy accessibility to the room the murder took place and to the murder weapon), motive (mentioned and solidified through several different documents), and opportunity (absolutely no alibi during the time of the murder and the path they took from the murder room to the room they claim they were in was supported by a statement from another suspect). We even mentioned throughout the elimination process that even though there was someone we suspected more than others, we would keep an open mind to make sure our supporting evidence wasn't biased. To our surprise, we opened up the final solution on the website and literally said, "What?! That's BS." The means, motive, and opportunity revealed for the actual killer had so many holes in the explanation and some of the answers were just straight-up untrue. For the sake of future players, I won't state the specific answer I'm referring to, all I'll say is don't rely on the clues given on the website, as they're given with the intention to eliminate every suspect other than the actual killer, but despite their efforts, the logic behind the clues could be applied to half of the other suspects and does nothing but try (and fail) to solidify the actual killer. I typically don't agree with the bad reviews on Hunt A Killer's games, since they're usually based on user-error, but I simply can't defend this one. My advice for any prospective players: Don't get this one unless you want to waste time on an non thought-out and non evidence-based game. Spend your hard-earned money on a different puzzle, more worth your time.

If you omit the letter except then what is the e. But e. And literally people are over like but there is an e. What does the e mean and then it turns out you don't literally omit it.

I really enjoy Hunt a Killer. This one started out fun and a bit challenging. As we continued to play we had motive, means and opportunity based on the story line given. After opening up the solutions we said “that sucks” . Least favorite Hunt a Killer I have done.
