Description from Board Game Geek:
5-Minute Mystery is a high-intensity, deductive, mystery game in which players work together to find a culprit hidden in a line-up of suspects.
Just moments before the Museum of Everything was set to unveil its newest exhibit, the priceless MacGuffin, some criminal snuck in and stole it! Now it's up to you, a team of detectives, to crack the case, find the culprit, and recover the missing MacGuffin.
Start by searching for hidden symbols in each room of the museum and find the matching symbols on the codex. Once you've found all of the symbols in the room, you’ll unlock a clue about the culprit.
Match the barcode of the clue tile against the culprit tile to discover valuable information about the crook. Does the miscreant have an umbrella? No? Well, that eliminates the shifty Mr. Braxton, doesn’t it? Quickly sort through the suspect cards in your hand to narrow down who the criminal can be.
You’ll have to make it through as many rooms as it takes to figure out exactly who is responsible for stealing the MacGuffin, but remember, time is not on your side!
Case files change the rules to each time you play, making every game a new challenge.
Do you have what it takes to be the detective to crack the case and solve this five-minute mystery? Only time will tell!

i'm amused that the review also lasted less than 5 minutes.
Benjamin Eisen Not a review as much as a casual conversation ;)
Oh... I did not know this was a hidden objects-based game... nor that it wasn't 5-minutes like their previous entry.
I'll thank you for the info and remove that from my wishlist.
Not a hidden object fan eh? That was the part that got me interested in the game. But not everything is for everyone. And as a person who has created hidden object games in the past, I understand it’s not for everyone :)
I guess replayability only lasts as long as there are fresh cards?
It’s done in a way that you won’t know what you’re looking at the same card that you saw before. There will be a multiple instances of the same image with hidden symbols within them. I asked the same question when I first saw the game and it works The way they have done it
@@BoardGameCoffee *phew* Thanks!
I just looked upon this today and really regretting not backing this one. I hope you do an unboxing video for this game.
There won’t be an unboxing sadly as the copy we got was already opened :(
Im interested in these type of "light" board games with awesome art. Any others you reccomend? My style is more like king of tokyo, quartz, 5 minute dungeon etc
Hmmmm good question. There’s a new game coming out soon called Sagani which is really good and light. I also consider Space Base a light game but it plays longer.
This one looks really nice!
It’s a fun game, especially if you like hidden object games
can you send me a photo of complete mastermind edition bonus components
8 Suspect Cards
4 Clue Tiles
8 Culprit Tiles
8 Scene Cards
8 Case Files
2 Reference Cards
back and front each cards of course
i already have the standard edition box
How does the game stay fresh when with enough plays you’d just memorize the symbols on the cards?
Good question! The background images used are repeated on many cards. Although the images hidden inside them are in different locations. So although you might recognize the image of the dinosaur display at the museum, it doesn’t tell you Where the objects are hidden. Does that make sense? The pyramid looking like simple won’t be always hidden in the same spot.
And the hidden object aspect of it is only part of the game. It allows you to get a clue which you then use to try to determine who the criminal is. So if the entire game was based solely on the hidden object aspect, I could see what you were saying being a problem. But it’s only part of the formula
Where can you get it though? I think only Kickstarter backers have it so far...
If it’s not out in stores already, it should be there soon
This game sounds super interesting.
Spider-man in the background looks like he just got some bad news, like Screech on Saved by the Bell when Zack and Lisa kissed. Screech was super down about it. Then he got mad and acted like a jerk. At least his life turned out ok as he was the guidance counsellor at Bayside during Saved by the Bell: The New Class. In real though, not so much.
If lovin' Saved by the Bell is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Still hoping to get a copy of the SbtB board game from the early 90s.
I didn’t even know that was a thing!
I couldn't find 5 minute mystery for sale. Anyone else find a seller?
Any luck?
Having such a hard time finding the mastermind addition to purchase... any ideas?
I don’t but I know who to ask. We live in the same city with the designer. If I can get a hold of him I’ll let you know :)
Nice video I would recommend to back up seems you are cramming together. Also too many cuts best to transition to the next topic. Cool little review though
SO WE SAY Y NOT Funny you mention that. We thought the same, and aside from any videos that we might have prescheduled, we won’t be making any more Expresso videos. We were trying something new, it’s not really our style :)
I got mine haven't play yet.
I think you’ll like it
