Thanks a lot investigator Jesse for the review ! We are working hard to unveil another investigation for this Christmas in the US. There will also be a lot of new games for 2025 :)
I agree with Jesse. Overall, it wasn't super difficult to crack for experts, but it was fun even for seasoned sleuths. Anyhow the difficulty rating written on the box (3/5) is in line with what you get. The story is interesting and the pace given by the opening of the envelops is well designed and satisfactory. The final explanation of the facts seemed logic and well written. I really appreciated the quality of the materials, the interaction with the web site and the hints system also appears quite good. Moreover no one (and remarkably no one of the native English speakers) complained for the quality of the translation. As mentioned, some parts of the investigation are on the easy side for this type of games, making it suitable for non-experts and families (apart from the theme, though), but don't be fooled: it has also challenging stuff and you will have to do clever connections to figure out the necessary details. On the negative side, a minor things is that some of the materials (I'm trying to be vague here) could be giving away few hints without a reason. I hope that they will translate also other cases in the future (old and new).
Played this last week (French version) and then checked your playthrough. I can confirm we had a blast with this game. The quality of the material is superb, probably better than anything we had seen before. I love the pace of incremental reveal of evidence, and we felt constant progression as we played, while we were intrigued by the outstanding mysteries remaining to be solved. Cruise theme was exciting and really interesting. Loved the map based puzzles on the ship. While I do not have any complains about the online material, which was also of the highest quality, I do have a small request that all the end game questions should have multiple choice answers for us to pick before providing the solution, not just the last question. And of course, solution should only be presented if we pick the right choice, otherwise a hint would be welcome.
Your video motivated me to try and buy this intriguing game. You said it was available through Amazon, but in Canada there is no listing for it. They have many books entitled "Missing In Hawaii or Jamaica or other exotic locations" but no murder mystery of this title. I even tried the full title as it appears on BGG with no luck. If they have a product in the U.S., they generally can offer it through the Canadian website. I'll keep checking --- maybe it's a brand new product that isn't available here yet.
