5-Minute Mystery by Wiggles 3D | A Real-Time, Co-Operative Mystery Game! | Fast-Paced Board Game | for Families, Ages 8 & up | 1-6 Players

My kids 12+ have had a blast with this game. They love you can play in 5minutes. Lots of teamwork. Easy to learn hard to master. One tip the characters body type is in the background of cards.

So, the game is actually considerably simpler than the instructions make it look. There are a lot of components, but it's actually fairly easy. We played with our 6-year-old daughter, and she loved it. When I opened the box, I had an immediate "not-these-IKEA-instructions-for-a-five-minute-game" reaction. However, it's not bad. Force yourself to get through the instructions, and you will enjoy it.The cards are cute, though some of the clues on the suspects aren't super easy to identify. One of the suspects is a naked mole rat, which counts as an animal with fur. While I realize that naked mole rats do, technically, have some fur, fur is by definition not their hallmark characteristic. Some of the other attributes are hard to identify, too. One animal has glasses, but they're on his hat, for example. Granted, this may just be my family of idiots. I have found that having kids is generally one long exercise in feeling stupid, and this game is no exception. I put as much - if not more - energy into trying to figure out if one of the animals is wearing a pair of reading glasses than I did into the entirety of my post-secondary education. Overall, though, very cute and very fun. The age range is 8+, and I think you can easily play this with kids aged 5 and older.

I'm a big fan of the 5-Minute games this company produces, starting with 5-Minute Dungeon and on to 5-Minute Marvel. I was at the Origins Game Fair when I noticed a sign for this game with the 5-Minute logo on it. Honestly, it probably would never have caught my eye if it weren't for the brand, so I understand it even if this is a radically different game. The codex is one of the best board game components I've ever seen, and the "find the shape" missions are simple enough that even my lowest performing students can play it with me and feel good about finding it. This is a fantastic game for home or school.

My son and I play this and it is very user-friendly. It's like Clue but much more engaging. I will say that this game doesn’t hold a candle to its predecessor, 5-minute dungeon. We play that game every chance we get!

This has been a great hit for all ages. Even 5-6 year olds can participate to some degree and they love it too!

Cute 5-10 minute game of finding objects in pictures to gain clues to find the culprit. Very simple and quick to play game. Download the timer app, it is a good addition to the game!

Best game to play with friends. It has several time events, makes it really fun to play. We got the 5 minutes dungeon one & all our kids got that & now this one. Really fun board game/card game

Really fun game, easy to teach to kids, as an avid gamer house I can definitely say we will play it multiple times.
