## Description

desertcart.com: 5-Minute Mystery | A Fast-Paced, Real-Time Cooperative Detective Board Game for Families | Solve The Case Before Time Runs Out | Ages 8+ | 1–6 Players : Toys & Games

Review: Fun family game - Super fun family game, I love that it’s quick and easy to play with minimal set up. We play it a couple times a week!
Review: Fun, fast paced and well made family game! - Our family loved this game! It is fast paced, challenging and addictive. Everyone enjoyed working as a team and didn't want to stop when the evening got late. Even though there are only 19 cases, each round is never the same with multiple suspects, culprits, clues and scenes. Besides being well made, the art work on the scenes, codex, cards and tiles are brilliant.

## Features

- RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK — Work together in a frantic real-time rush to identify the culprit before the 5-minute timer runs out.
- SOLVE THE CASE TOGETHER — Search scenes, mark matching symbols in your Codex, earn clues, and eliminate suspects until you find the culprit!
- PERFECT FOR FAMILIES AND GAME NIGHTS — Easy to learn, exciting and fast: ideal for kids, adults, busy families, and game groups looking for a warm-up, filler or party game.
- UNIQUE CODEX MECHANIC — Use the included detective codex to record hidden symbols found in the museum and unlock new clues.
- HIGH REPLAYABILITY — With 19 case files, 40 scene cards to investigate and 36 potential culprits to catch, no two mysteries are solved the same way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best 5 Minutes Yet!
*by S***N on August 5, 2025*

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.
