![]() ![]() The theme and difficulty would line up and be great for families. There is a massive opportunity here to retheme this whole system with Scooby Doo and I think it would be a home run. At about $10 retail for 30 minutes of game that you can’t replay, I just can’t recommend it. Younger players may get more challenge out of it, the box shows ages 14-99, but I can’t judge that myself. The clues are mostly pretty obvious what chapters they go with and arranging them in order is pretty trivial. Both boxes took an average of 30 minutes to complete which I think just isn’t long enough to justify the game. The themes aren’t overly violent or gruesome but still fairly mature when it comes to kids. The second follows a murder in a proabition era speakeasy. The first is a mystery about a young girl training to be a ballerina that died under mysterious circumstances. For this review I played through the first two boxes. While everything is presented well and I think it really works, it’s just too easy but with themes that preclude playing with young kids. You match up three items per chapter and then at the end arrange all of the chapters in order to get the full story. These could be just sounds that you need to listen closely to or full blown conversations that fit together. To solve the mystery you will have to scan cards and listen to their audio clips. The audio clips are excellently produced with professional voice acting, background music, and sound effects. All of the art is well done and themed nicely with the set. You will also need to download the Echoes app to scan the cards and listen to the sound clips. Echoes of Empire is an epic, 4X sci-fi strategy game steeped in mystery, intrigue and a thousand years of Royal rule. ![]() The tiny package of each set contains 6 chapter tiles, 18 item cards, and a rulebook. For this review, I played through The Dancer and The Cocktail boxes. ![]() This is a review of the Echoes game system, not a specific box. It’s an opportunity for you and maybe a small group of friends to put your heads together and solve a mystery. Echoes, from Ravensburger, is a series of auditory mysteries that allow you to put on your detective hat and test if you can fit the pieces of a jumbled up puzzle together in the right order. ![]()
