Murder at The Motel, Interactive Unsolved Mysteries Game

My older boys and I had a blast playing this! We have tried other ones and this by far is the best story line!

THE BEST DATE NIGHT GAME!!!! Hunt A Killer: Murder at the Motel is such an immersive and well-thought-out game. From the moment you open the box, the storyline pulls you in. The clues feel realistic, the evidence is detailed, and everything works together in a way that makes you feel like a real detective. It’s challenging without being frustrating, and solving each part feels genuinely rewarding. This was perfect for a game night—great for couples, friends, or even playing solo if you love true crime and puzzles. We ended up talking through theories and debating suspects, which made it even more fun. The quality of the materials is excellent, and the pacing keeps you engaged the entire time. If you enjoy mystery, escape rooms, or crime-solving games, this is a must-have. Easily one of the best at-home mystery games we’ve played. I had to buy every one of them. Highly recommend!

If you are security guard like I am, I'd suggest against this. (Easy to guess answer because of it.) However, this game was pretty fun / entertaining for a camping-night-out with my grandmother. I did enjoy the little knick-knacks, notes, conversations, and letters that came with it in order to "solve" the mystery. This is something to share with a dedicated group of family / friend(s) to get the game sorted out properly. I hope to get into such mystery games like this, but a tad more... difficult... I still suggest this, anyways.

I didn't know much about these games other than the concept seemed fun. Just understand that there is no real guidance on what you're supposed to read first. We spread all the evidence out on the kitchen table and each had a piece of paper to take notes. It took around 2 hours to complete and ended up being a really fun time. It absolutely helps if you do fun voices when reading the witness statements. Haha. Highly recommend. I bought another for us to try for the next family get together.

this are great but they are single use games so value for money isn’t great, really wish they had a recycling or trading program with the company. at least donate it once your done. game is fun and took a while to solve. once you do one the style is the same for the other boxes making them easier to solve.

Great Christmas gift for super sleuth! Harder than expected

It's not bad, but we figured out the solution about halfway through, and the rest of the process felt like dotting i's and cross t's. There's not as much of a progression (solve this puzzle to get to the next puzzle). It's more like all the clues are in front of you from the start.

Great family game. Puts up a good challenge .

Super fun. I played it alone but more people would have made it way better.

Unbelievable fun. Brilliantly entertaining and really cleverly made. Also, beware of pickles.

Confusing and silly.

There are always mixed reviews about HAK’s one-off boxes. The thing is these are escape-room style murder mysteries so a certain level of being convoluted is to be expected… I mean escape room + murder mystery, it can’t be cakewalk! (This box is rated 4 stars out of 5 for difficulty). The thing is I have seen some really poor reviews about this set but someone who’s done Death at the Dive Bar, and Mystery at Magnolia Gardens, I’d still give it a try. At least the components do look cool

Really enjoyed playing this one. These games are a Lot of fun
