Excellent game! It was our first time solving a crime mystery, and we really enjoyed it – combination of digital and analog materials made it really fun. We would love to have more games in English!
We enjoyed the game very much.
Very fun, enormous level of detail, thank you!
Excellent game we played with our family of five. Clues were varied (online / offline) and the story was believable. It took us about 1:45hrs to solve. Highly recommended!

Played this absorbing game over two days. The format is fun with clues and red herrings presented in both physical and digital form making it a treasure hunt as well. Felt like an unpressured escape room with more depth to the puzzle. Highly recommended.

Bought a copy at Spiel ’24 on a whim. We really enjoyed this. Finished it over the course of two weekends with a break in the middle. The mixed media approach put me off at first but having audio clips and videos really added to it. You end up with a real sense of the personalities of the people involved. Great work, please translate another game to English 🙂
Daniëlle –
The corporate anniversary is a very nice whodunnit. With different media, offline and online, you get to unravel the plot of a murder at a chocolate company. Playtime: 3-4 hours.
Caterina and Ayca –
We are 2 friends who study medicine – and we are on vacation together! We thought it would be nice to play a game of murder mystery. It took us 4 hours – but we got 90% in the end! We recommend this game to everyone who has a smart friend by their side and patience !! We were two dumb students but two negatives do make a positive!!!
You will definitely have a great time, and all evidence is thoughtfully planned out.

My wife and I enjoyed „The Corporate Anniversary“. The materials were well produced and the online material was believable. Make more English cases!
Liva Racene @speletprieks –
It is stunning how great the game was!
I never played before a game like this. I liked that there was real video, even Instagram accounts and companies‘ Intranet.
WOW!
You have to try it to understand what I’m talking about!

This case is intricate, twisted and kept my husband and me on the edge of our seats for 3+ hours. The immersive experience is excellent, due in part to the great quality of the materials provided. There are no loose ends to anything, all comes together bit by bit to form a realistic investigative impression.
Logic, attention to detail and patience unknot the mystery.
Note to Magnificum: more games in English please, and well done!
