Sherlock 13 (Board Game Gumbo): “Sherlock 13 is a solid deduction game. If you want a big game experience, you’ll probably need to look elsewhere [...]. But this one will stay on my small box game shelf for a while”

Doomensions: Pop-Up Mystery Manor (GeekDad) “For the most part, I enjoyed the puzzles in Doomensions: Pop-Up Mystery Manor. Almost all of them relied on information from the manor itself: finding and counting particular objects or symbols, figuring out how some tools combined with the manor, and so on. Many of the puzzles made use of the layout of the manor, too, like retracing the path an investigator took through the house.”
