  • Certainly a typical detective case without much context or imaginative scenario, but it works exemplary for someone or a group who wants to take on the role of a detective. The contents are excellent, well-crafted, and realistic enough, such as the bracelet and the matchbox from the bar. The folder contains a lot of information and in sufficient detail. However, the box is too big for so many items. The freedom it gives you to deal with any element or suspect simultaneously is exceptional and well-executed. The choice of the internet to check some information further enhances the realism of the case. On the other hand, the dependence of some elements on the internet may cause problems in the future if the company ceases to exist. The absence of time is an important parameter so that the team does not feel the pressure of time, which would not be realistic. For the wonderful and important encryption puzzle, I resorted to the ease of ChatGPT, which in a few seconds came up with the solution and of course makes sure to explain the logic to you! The newspaper is an interesting idea, carefully placed within the puzzle plan with repeatability in control, but it contains unusually many details for a German newspaper! Of course, it is one of the games that you cannot replay, but another team can easily play it, as no element is destroyed in the attempt to solve it. Educational scenario??? Since it does not require a very good level of English, it could easily be exciting material for the classroom, either to identify a guilty party and exonerate them or within the scope of three lessons to conquer the truth and find the solution. P.S. The help guide is provided online and is one of the best compared to other companies of larger scale that do not know how to provide information gradually. P.P.S. I would prefer to have a package with 3 scenarios inside (maybe even more), so that the box does not take up so much space. P.P.P.S. I definitely want to try more IDventure cases. Rating: 81/100
