Red Herring Games Reviews

I wanted to like it, but the difficulty felt really uneven. Some parts were fine, then suddenly it got so confusing that I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do next. I even checked my email receipt to make sure I had bought the right version or hadn’t missed some extra instructions, but nope. Just ended up feeling more frustrating than fun.

I had a problem with my order at first, which was a bit frustrating, and I did have to chase them up a couple of times. But once they got back to me, they sorted it out quickly. It wasn’t perfect from the start, but I’m genuinely relieved it all worked out in the end and I’m happy with how it finished

I was poking around the themes and, I don’t know, they all started to feel kind of similar after a while. Like at first I thought maybe I just hadn’t found the good ones yet, but then I kept clicking through and it was mostly the same vibe with tiny changes. It’s not a huge deal, but I expected a little more variety.

Maybe it’s just me, but I thought this would work well for a mixed family game night and it ended up feeling a little too grown-up in parts for the younger kids. I might have missed the age warning, but I do wish the guidance had been a bit clearer. The idea is fun overall, just not the best match for our group.

I was kind of expecting hosting to be a bit of a hassle, especially with my group being, like, loud and all over the place, but it was actually super simple to keep everything running. it just went way smoother than I thought it would. I’d definitely use it again.

I don’t know why, but some of the pieces just felt a little cheap to me. It’s still totally playable and works fine, but the materials weren’t quite as nice as I expected.

We've played a few of these around different groups, and they’re still fun every time...

I really liked how many customization options there were, and actually setting everything up was super easy. The only thing that bugged me was that some of the communication wasn’t very clear, so I had to figure out a few details on my own. Overall, though, I was happy with the experience.

I had a easy time using the site. The pages was loading fine, and the menu made sense enough that I found what I needed without much trouble. A couple parts on my phone was a little cluttered, but it wasn’t anything that really bugged me. Overall, it worked well and placing my order was simple.

I used red-herring-games.com for a game night with some friends, getting everything ordered and set up was straightforward. I’m not the most patient person when it comes to complicated prep, so I was glad it didn’t turn into a whole project before people even arrived.

Once we got into the game, we did have a good time. There were definitely some laughs and a few moments where everyone got really into it, which is exactly what you want from this kind of thing. That said, for the price, I was kind of expecting a bit more, maybe extra materials, a longer game, or something that made it feel a little more special.
Overall, it was decent fun and I don’t regret trying it, but I wouldn’t call it amazing value. I might use them again if there was a discount or a deal going, but at full price I’d probably think twice. Good experience, just not exactly cheap.

I ordered from red-herring-games.com and didn’t expect it to arrive so quickly. It turned up in just a few days, all packed nicely, with no hassle around tracking or delays. I only regret not ordering it earlier because I could’ve had it in hand sooner. Really happy with how fast the delivery was and I’d definitely order again...

Had a really fun night with my friends and there were some genuinely good laughs. I’ll be honest, I mostly focused on the funny moments and the company, so the slower parts didn’t bother me too much, even though they were definitely there.

The plot was alright, but it didn’t really grab me the way I hoped. The twist was fun when it happened, but it felt a little thin overall. i might’ve just caught it at a bad time and wasn’t in the right mood for it.

I had a quick question before placing my order, and they got back to me the same day. i already had a good feeling about them from what I’d seen, and this just confirmed it. The reply was friendly, they actually answered my question, and they sorted out my little issue without making it a big deal. Really nice dealing with people who don’t leave you waiting around

We used this for a party night with friends, and once everyone got into it, the vibe was fun. That said, it took a while to get going, and a few of the clues had people more confused than entertained, which was a little frustrating. It wasn’t bad at all, and we did end up laughing a lot, but I was definitely hoping it would feel a bit more polished

It worked for playing virtually, which was what I needed. The setup though, a little clunky it felt, and took me a bit to get comfortable with it.

It prints okay once you get it sorted, but it took more fiddling and adjusting than I expected before it would print properly. Bit annoying having to put in that much effort just to get it working right.

I bought a game from red-herring-games.com the script was just really easy to get into. I didn’t find myself going back over the same bits again and again, or having to stop and explain everything to people before we could even start...
The character notes actually made sense, and the order of the game was simple enough that everyone could just get on with it. It made the whole night feel a lot smoother and more fun. I’d definitely use them again, especially if I’m hosting and don’t want the extra hassle...

We booked a game from Red Herring Games for a family night, and our numbers kept changing right up until the day. It was really nice that it still worked when we had a smaller group, and then a couple of extra people joined in too.

There was no stress about splitting teams perfectly or anyone having to sit out. It was really handy overall, and everyone ended up getting involved...

We tried one of the games for a group night, and at first it seemed like it was going to be a good time. Setup was simple enough, and people were into the theme for the first bit.

After a while though, the energy just kind of disappeared. A few people got confused, some stopped paying attention, and it didn’t really do much to pull everyone back in. I know companies always make this stuff sound super engaging in the description, but in real life it felt a lot more hit or miss.
It wasn’t awful or anything, just flatter than I expected. I thought there would be more interaction and momentum. Maybe it works better with a different group, but for us it didn’t really live up to the polished pitch.
