All you need to solve this are the crime scene photos, article photos and the security camera photos. Everything else is a waste of time and a red herring. That my friends is TOO MANY red herrings. Makes you feel like time wasted instead of satisfying fun. Boooooo this one sucks!
This is the fifth HAK I have done and is by far my least favorite. It doesn't feel nearly as thorough/connected as their other games I've completed. I've passed along the other 4 games to friends who I know enjoy them too, but this one doesn't make the cut for me...disappointing. (Also, WHAT is the pin in the lockbox??? Never even described in the hits/reveals section.)
We found all the clues and evidence….but the story line didn’t make any sense after all the evidence was discovered. Too many red herrings that lead to nothing. We got so excited after each discovery but most of them were meaningless. Also this is the second game from HAK we have played and both times the lock boxes were broken so despite getting the code right we spent hours trying to research alt 3 digit codes only to discover our original guess was accurate and we wasted a ton of time bc the box was broken?? Even the online hints were to help us solve puzzles that were all red herrings. Fun puzzles but at all my fav mystery game bc the story line made no sense.
We absolutely loved this game! It was immersive, challenging, and so satisfying to work through. The story kept us hooked, and every clue felt like it had a purpose. If you enjoy escape rooms, puzzles, and detective work, this is an absolute must play.
I also wanted to mention something about the negative reviews. A lot of people seem frustrated because they couldn’t access the website, but figuring out the correct code or login is actually part of the game. It’s not broken, it’s one of the puzzles you’re meant to solve. Reading reviews from people blaming the game for that is disappointing because it gives the wrong impression.
This game expects you to think outside the box and pay attention to the evidence. If you go into it with patience and the mindset of solving a real mystery, it’s incredibly rewarding. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to play another Hunt A Killer case!
The code for the box was wrong but we figured out that you could squeeze the thin metal part on the lock and get it open.
