Customer Questions (4)
Q: How many total seasons would I get if I paid for the 12 month plan?Asked by Shannon P., February 2021
Our first three seasons are 5 episodes long. One year would take you through season one, season two, and two episodes into season three. We are super flexible if you purchase the full year and do not want to continue for the 2nd year. We will make sure you receive the annual rate to complete season three.
Q: When does Episode 3 start shipping?Asked by Rebecca F., February 2021
Rebecca, Thanks for checking in! We expect season three to begin shipping to subscribers only by the end of March. We are so excited this season is going to be KILLER!
Q: What age is this best for?Asked by Lisa G., January 2021
For season one, the first five episodes I would recommend age 12 and up. For Season two we have warning information prior to playing each episode to assure you can work around any age-inappropriate content for ages 12-18.
Q: If I send this as a gift will I automatically get charged every month?Asked by Allyssa R., December 2020
You can choose not to have any purchase not renew :)

I purchased all of season 1 (5 episodes on Etsy ... LOVED IT!!!) I would share more pictures but I am afraid for spoilers. I would recommend the Crate Joy experience as the company has REALLY COOL mailings in between boxes that makes this an extra fun experience.
BETTER THEN HUNT A KILLER!!!!!!

I have or have had a subscription to pretty much every single mystery solving and escape room type of game available and A Killing Affair is my all time favorite! The creator is amazing and you can tell how much thought and care she puts into her products. Every single piece of evidence is top quality. Even the paper that's used for the documents is high quality. The stories are immersive, interesting, and keep me wanting more. I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves a good mystery or has an interest in detective work.
You will not be disappointed .
Like you are on a cop/detective show!

I recently finished the first season and had to order more. This is just so well done! You get a file folder with witness statements, a case report, and autopsy results for each victim, and there are little evidence bags. Over 5 boxes, the story develops, and you clear some suspects with each box. So much thought went into all of the details! I highly recommend this subscription.
Also, I may or may not have actually squealed after seeing the first letter addressed to Detective with my last name- probably not the best look for a woman in their mid-thirties but that is how much it tickled me....
This is the one!!

First review I’ve ever left on cratejoy, and I’ve been using it for a few years now the customer service from a killing affair is great. My issue was resolved the same day.
We have tried other murder mystery boxes, (we’ve tried three so far) including the one advertised everywhere and this one rivals that. They have much better customer service and because of the helpfulness and the quick response, not days later but the same day, it didn’t cause an interruption in game play. It’s very rare to find a company who will not only answer but resolve any issue the same day. It made me feel important as a customer and for me at least that’s what will keep me coming back.
I’m impressed

I’ve only gotten one box so far but was impressed! I’ve done other well-known mystery series, and this is at least as good. The contends were personalized and came with useful things like sticky notes and box labels. The story is interesting, and the puzzles weren’t too hard or too easy. There are documents, physical evidence, and web content to go through. I’m not rushing my next box because I’ve got so many other puzzle boxes to do as it is, but I’ll be glad to get it comes. I feel like real effort and attention is being paid to this series by the creator. It’s welcome. The only downside is it’s a touch pricey compared with other series.
Gift that keeps on giving

Leaving a belated review as i think this is a pretty good subscription game. The people at a killing affair are pretty good at responding to requests and issues as the first one was to arrive at christmas. I asked for it to arrive in a plain package as i didnt want to spoil the surprise, and they helped me out, even though it was the week of. Same thing in another package. The box came with a blacklight that had a bad battery, so i let them know and they mailed me one out within the week.
As far as the game itself, its very immersive both in story and props. Websites, menus, handwritten notes, newspaper clippings. A lot of things to sort through with your friends and family to figure it out. I like that everything is interconnected and its very hands on when it comes to poring through the investigator notes and city maps for alibis etc. Well worth it to get everyone together and get the brains working!
Amazing quality and seller

So far, I love this box! I was really impressed that I even received a letter by mail from Lovely City P.D. That adds so much to the authenticity of detective work. I appreciate the added touches that make solving mysteries so fun.
