- Medical Mysteries: NYC Emergency Room - New Game Night Staple - Escape Room - Cooperative Strategy - Adult Party Game - Ages 14 and Up

This was the best game we have played in quite a while. I bought it for my teenage grandson, but we couldn't get him to play with us. So my daughter and I played it. We saved all the patients but didn't get everything quite right. You really need to pay attention to all the details! We played the tutorial which was a big help to get the hang of the game. This was quite different than the Hunt a Killer games so it was a nice change. (Although we like those too!) I hope they release more patients so we can play again. I highly recommend this game.

This game is pretty fun. I played it by myself but it says 1-4 people can play. The directions are easy to understand. There is nothing to set up and you can reprint the one paper you have to write on, so it can easily be given to someone else to replay. Each case took about 30 min to play. I have no medical knowledge and found it to be fun and I had to use my brain a little bit to figure things out.

So much fun! Easy to learn when you do the tutorial and read through the easy to understand directions. I wish there was more than 4 cases plus the tutorial though because you can really only play each one once. My son is 11 and we had a lot of fun with it.

I love the game but has to be for older kids and adults you have to be focus to play the game but it is fun!!!!

Literally so much fun! I probably wouldn’t enjoy this if I didn’t play with my sisters who are in the medical field (one’s a nurse and one’s an EMT) they really enjoyed explaining the medical terms. The terms are explained on the cards tho so medical experience wouldn’t be required but it adds a whole new level of fun as the real medical people try to guess where it’s going before the game starts. The levels are set up that you can play each one separately so we haven’t finished it yet. We loved the natural stopping places and it was nice that the papers are contained in envelopes so we know we didn’t lose anything for the future patients.

I love this game so much! I wish they would come out with more. Basically it’s like a choose your own advantage - emergency room style! A patient comes in the emergency room and you need to decide how to figure out what’s wrong with them - can you save their life?! You get 4 games plus a game that they walk you through so you get the idea of how to play. These are one time plays - so once you’ve played them all you won’t be able to play again (bc you would know the answer.

I felt like I was a real ER doctor making life-saving decisions. Excellent, medically accurate information. I expected a fantasy scenario, but it was all very grounded and realistic. You'll probably learn something, too! This game was so much more fun than I ever would have thought! You get 4 full cases and a tutorial case (That teaches you how to play the game). If you're a medical nerd - or just love real-life medical dramas/ER shows, surgery documentaries, etc. you'll LOOOOVE this game! I know a lot about medicine - just through my own personal study and fascination with it - and these cases were both challenging and exciting to take on.

Got this as a Christmas vacation activity for the fam. If anyone in the family has a medical background, this will likely be too easy. If they don't, this might be a bit hard and require a lot of reading. Maybe if you watch a lot of medical dramas or know a bit of medicine, this will be just right. We had a good time anyhow.
