We had quite a lot of fun with this one. Great building of fun in-game tension, particularly towards the end. And remarkably responsive; there was virtually no delay in synchronization, even when both players had spotty WiFi. A very minor pseudo-quibble - I wasn't really sure why the game assigned us to different characters with different personality traits when those characters and their traits never seemed to appear in the narrative; that detail seemed almost like it was left over from a different, more narrative game. But that was the only loose end in a highly polished experience.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The more I look back on this game, the more I realise how much I enjoyed it. I don’t know if they’re planning on making another one, but I really hope they do! Fun puzzles, a great interface, and just a really enjoyable game to play.

I think we've found our first favorite cooperative puzzle game in 2021! This game really bought out the teamwork aspect through the puzzles and game design. The final challenge with the timer countdown (you won't actually run out of time so don't worry, everyone will be able to finish) really captured that final urgency that we would feel in a real life escape room. We completed the game in 1 hours time and was left feeling wanting more! Being new creators in the digital game world, this was an amazing product. We can't wait to see what Eleven Puzzles will be able to whip up in the near future!

Exciting!

Unboxing the Mind of a Cryptic Killer was an unexpectedly delightful game! It’s got a bit of everything I love: A gritty plot and back story, gorgeous illustrations, and tantalisingly fun puzzles. Not only this but it also plays really well with a unique online two-player interface. I can’t recommend it enough!
