I bring you my review of the murder mystery Death at the Dive Bar from Hunt A Killer. Does the game make you feel like you’ve been dropped into the shoes of investigators looking into a possible murder?

Summary
Death at the Dive Bar is an interesting and immersive introduction to the Hunt A Killer line. While the box indicates solving the mystery in an hour or less, you'll probably take longer than that if you're playing the mystery with other people. I think the component quality throughout is top notch and, for the most part, you'll feel as if you're combing through evidence. The code breaking did come across as out of place considering you're investigating the possible murder of a bar owner, not some jet setting secret agent. Overall, an entertaining - if somewhat short - experience.
