I was contacted by Hunt a Killer and sent three of their murder mystery games to play and review. I wasn’t paid in any other way and I was encouraged to be honest with my thoughts. I am not an affiliate and I won’t receive any kickback for telling you about their games (if you want to support my writing, please do so via my Kofi page).

I’ll be reviewing the other two games I was sent in a separate post. For now, here are my thoughts on Nancy Drew: Mystery at Magnolia Gardens!

What Is Hunt a Killer?

If you’ve spent any time online, you’ve probably seen at least one ad for Hunt a Killer’s games. They’ve been around since 2017 and started out with a subscription box-style model where you’d pay each month to have a mystery in a box (or a chunk of/clues for a mystery in a box) sent to you.

Hunt a Killer still offers these mystery “loot boxes” where the loot is quite literally A MYSTERY (lol) for folks who want FULL IMMERSION and a slow drip-feed of clues coming in the mail to solve a massive case. However, they now offer OTHER styles of mysteries as well!

If you’re not a subscription box lover and/or like a faster-paced night of fun, they have one-off smaller cases that can be done in a couple of hours as well as Premium Cases that may take a couple of days. And they’re even offering previous subscription boxes after their campaigns are over so you can apply the “binge watching” mentality we all have now for streaming TV shows to your mystery gaming! (ie. you can sit down and solve six months/six boxes of mystery at once!).

The Hunt a Killer mysteries I recieved were all from the Premium Games & Small Cases collections. Meaning, my parents, my husband, and I were able to tackle them each in a night. And HOW are these mysteries tackled, exactly? Good question!
