How do you play it?
Dive in the mystery of the case of Nicolaas Meester, who collapsed before his speech in the circus ring. You are going to reopen the case and take a second look at the evidence. While solving a wide range of puzzles in different difficulty. The overall difficulty is in my opinion medium; some puzzles need more brains than others.
My opinion
The authenticity of materials and handwritten letters, portraits and the story which places you for a moment in 1883. The quality of items is really good and the makers spend some good time on it to make it realistic for that time.
The characters are woven in the story and have connections which makes the story great, and big at the same time.
It took us 3 hours with 3 players to solve the mystery. Of course it depends on who, how many you play and if you’re a puzzler it takes more or less time for this game. The handwritten letters are for some people harder to read and need more time. Overall it's a great mystery game!
