Lunovos Industries has been leading the world in space exploration and currently has the first moon base established. With a crew of 12 doing research and studying the moon, they are gathering valuable data to shape the future. Unexpectedly though, you receive an urgent call telling you that a crew member has been found murdered. With the eyes of the world watching this mission, can you help solve the mystery and find the murderer before they strike again?

Opening the box, we found 3 envelopes, each labelled with the mission number. We also encounter a board game quality, incomplete map of the moon.

Before diving into “Murder on the Moon”, the game included a prequel titled “Countdown to Chaos”. This introductory game was designed for beginners, showing the basics of how Detective Society games work without explicitly explaining how to play. It started simple, with a letter and directions on where to start, and then built up from there. Once we completed it, we felt prepared to tackle the main mission.

When we opened the first envelope for Murder on the Moon, we found another letter providing the game’s backstory and a QR code. Scanning it led us to a chat with the main character, Rosalie Hardy, who guided us through the game’s challenges and what we needed to accomplish.


The game featured many highlights, especially the moon map we had to build and assemble. This was a puzzle in itself that we needed over the course of the game to solve other puzzles. Spanning three episodes, the story turned out to be much more intricate than we expected, drawing us in and keeping us engaged.

The puzzles required a mix of deduction and reasoning, with plenty of variety to keep us engaged. Some challenges involved assembling pieces, while others required carefully examination of items and documents to find connections. The Detective Society did an excellent job integrating the story with the puzzles, creating a seamless and immersive experience.


A couple of tips we want to offer is to make sure to thoroughly review everything, especially the websites shared through the chats. They contain more information than you think. Also, make sure to keep previous envelope content within reach. You will need them throughout the game.


The hint system was built into the chat and was well-designed and offered multi-tiered hints. While there were moments we wished it pointed us more directly toward the specific materials we needed to look at, overall, it worked effectively and complemented the gameplay.

The Detective Society consistently sets a high bar with their games, and we found this one was no exception. The story created a world that was bigger than we would have guessed with puzzles that seamlessly flowed with the narrative. Each puzzle was engaging and challenging without overstaying its welcome. We played with 2 people but feel this game could be played with 4 people easily as stated on the box. This game would be perfect for any armchair detective, people who love narrative or a small group looking for an all day escape experience. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned puzzler, “Murder on the Moon” is absolutely out of this world!

I just finished “Murder on the Moon: Countdown to Chaos” and wow — The Detective Society really knows how to keep you guessing until the very end. The puzzles felt more immersive this time, and the whole lunar mystery setting added such a cool twist. I’ve always loved games that make you slow down and think, but still give you that little rush when you piece everything together. It kind of reminded me of when I got hooked on Online Pokies in Australia for a bit — that same blend of chance and satisfaction when things line up just right. There’s something special about experiences that make you feel clever and entertained at the same time.

https://blog.777bet.io/fortune-dragon-fofo-777fun/ is a game from developer PG Soft that has been making a name for itself on Brazilian betting platforms, especially on the 777 Fun website. Inspired by Chinese culture, this slot combines charismatic design with features that really make a difference to the results.

Yes, I’ve personally explored various CSGO bonuses, and I must say the experience has been quite rewarding. A friend who’s deeply into esports recommended https://cyber-sport.io/csgo-bonuses, and it turned out to be a great tip. The site offers a well-curated list of reliable bonuses, including welcome packages, free cases, and promo codes. These bonuses gave me an extra boost, especially when I started playing ranked matches. What I appreciated the most was the transparency of the offers and how easy it was to claim them. For anyone who’s curious about maximizing their CSGO experience without risking too much, this resource is worth checking out. It’s helped me stay engaged and improve my game strategy.

I’ve been into Aussie online pokies for a while now. What I appreciate is the flexibility – you can try games for free or go for real stakes auspokies.net/online-pokies. I always recommend beginners to start with the demo version. It’s a great way to explore themes (I’m into Egyptian and fantasy slots), understand the mechanics, and see how the bonus features work. Later, I moved on to real money pokies – games like Gates of Olympus offer exciting multipliers and free spins. I keep an eye on RTP and volatility – they really affect how often and how much you win. I think the key is balance: enjoy the visuals, the game, and never go beyond what you can afford.
