Jigsaw puzzle meets whodunnit with a retro twist!

Join private investigator Joan St. James as she attends the grand opening of a new casino, only to find that the owner, Roger McKenzie, is dead! Cause of death: a crab leg, to which the man was deathly allergic, stuffed down his throat.

Who’s behind the attack? Ralph, his duplicitous brother? Dante, his disgruntled head chef? With this special mystery puzzle format, you must complete the jigsaw to reveal the visual clues that solve the case. A nifty VHS-shaped box and highly detailed artwork make this the perfect analog activity for parties and cozy nights in. Get ready for a caper full of wacky high jinks and memorable characters, all wrapped up in a fabulous 1980s atmosphere.
