Does the murderer change or is it more of a one time deal?

One time.... Need to follow closely & don t reveal final characters info too soon. ENJOY,

One time deal...this brand of game (I've played MANY in the series) has a predetermined murderer. That person will know it's them at the beginning of the game, which makes the game a little less fun for that person - unless they are a great actor, in which they will really play everything else up and red herring answers and such. It's fun no matter what!

It's a one time deal. In some ways it's like a script, it won't change each time it's played other than how each person decides to play their role.

Yes teens should have fun role playing while trying to determine who the killer is. It is very similar to clue.

From start to finish it took us about 2.5 hours. But we did a lot of chatting! I don't know if I'd recommend it for first-timers, honestly. It was all of our group's first time and none of us guessed right. Without a script of questions to ask, and without the murderer volunteering much info, there really wasn't enough by the end of it to come up with an educated guess.

Yes the solution to the game identifies who murdered someone by throwing them off a train. My 17 year olds loved it. Try barbecue with a vampire it's better for young teens we played that one about four years ago.

This game is a little complex. Each time you play it is completely different. I have played it at least 5 times and it has been different every time. In order to understand what I mean, this youtube video does a great job at explaining it as well as giving a few examples. I hope this helps your decision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MINNKyE4fjs

We did this mystery a few months ago and loved it. Was challenging, yet solvable too. A great balance.

It will look different. You would notice the different finishes immediately.

Without giving too much away, the murder is not gruesomely described. However, several of the characters are romantically involved with each other, and I would not think that it's appropriate for preteens. There are murder mysteries made for a younger audience. I believe the same company even makes one, although I am not positive.

No....if you know the frequency where police transmits on your location (YES), most likely they will change weekly.

Yes, but it is not instant. It will take a day or two to notice a difference.

As a previous answerer stated, if you have a few friends (at least 2) that enjoy deduction, adrenaline, and/or the story of Jack the Ripper, then this game is certainly worth the price. I paid more than double the current price and I don't regret the purchase. I want to note that this game will take about 1.5-2 hours depending on player familiarity with the game. We have needed to let it sit overnight once but we normally finish it in the same night.

The assassin portion of the game is separate, but the character in the game that they go into his mind to unlock the memories of the past assassin is the same. There are some elements that you may not fully understand, but you can easily youtube the story videos and get caught up. It's a bit repetitive after a while, but it's still a decent game. AC revelations has the first game packaged with it for free. Maybe pick it up too?

Yes it does....I went with this one because of the reviews people gave it. I noticed a difference after the first time and it has gotten better with each time.

It can be, though you will want the person not playing Jack to take on the role of multiple investigators.

I do not know who the instructor in Ruthless is. The one in X-factor - his name is Nahisee Crowford. (not sure the of the correct spelling).
