Tabletop Game Rating

Great use of QR codes (3 more)

Perfect integration of old and new - VR technology with a board game

Co-operative deductive game

Engaging stories!

Concerted effort required to make sure everyone takes a role, as too easy for players to just listen to one player narrating and leading the game. (0 more)

Chronicles of Crime by Lucky Duck Games is an amazing co-operative game that incorporates QR codes, to be scanned by a mobile phone, VR technology to see crime scenes in 3D, and a board with locations. Therefore this game not only marries technology with traditional gaming, but does this without being tacky or a gimmick! Originally this game was launched via Kickstarter, but I believe this will have hit general release with a few expansions already. The stories are engaging and the game very enjoyable. I must say, the crime scenes are quite sobering and grim, therefore not for children but an amazing experience for adults. The way the game is structured, Lucky Duck can continue to publish new cases, using the characters and locations on the boards you already have, resulting in a potential for continued play beyond the stories contained in the box. I thoroughly recommend this game at a player count of 2-3...more than this, I think it may become a little boring for additional players.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Time of Death (Tom Thorne,#13) in Books

Jan 12, 2018

I am a massive fan of Mark Billingham and I absolutely love his character - Tom Thorne - neither have ever disappointed me and, after reading this, they still havent. This book is ace as are all previous 12 novels. I am usually one of the first to the bookshop when a new one comes out but this time I was lucky enough to have been sent an eBook copy via NetGalley and I want to thank the publisher, Grove Atlantic, for this in return for an unbiased review.

Movie Rating

I was very lucky and won this dvd in a competition (: so here is my review.

I enjoyed this film, especially trying to work out who Simon’s email friend Blue is. I found the characters quite relatable, particularly when Simon acted like any normal teenager and became far too wrapped up in his own life to be a good friend.

I love that this film deals with being gay and how it is perceived and has a gay lead instead of some side character to try and be PC.

I enjoyed the storyline and development throughout the film, especially the ending, who doesn’t love it when everyone is happy.
