How many different games are there

The objective is to catch Mr X while travelling around London, using the travel tokens given out at the start. That is the only game, but as everyone makes different decisions, outcomes can change. Sometimes Mr X wins, sometimes the detectives, but after several rounds the cumulative number of rounds won determines the winner. The junior version is very simple to play, but could also be over very quickly, in two or three moves, so we adapted the rules to give each person more goes. Our grandsons, aged 7 loved it, but it was too easy for them, so we bought the senior (adult) version.

Is this game fun for 2 players?

Yes it is good fun. Don't expect a complex game it's very basic - my kid is 7 years old and find it really fun. It's a chase - not a clue solving game. Each game is pretty quick too:)

Child aged 10. Junior or normal version? Liking the fact that junior can be 2 players whereas normal needs 3 but is it too young?

I've never actually played the full version so can't really compare. I play this with my 9 year old. It's super fast and simple - you can easily fit in two rounds before bed time. She loves it but she doesn't play a lot of board games so if your 10 year old is a bit more proficient then I suspect this one could be a bit boring.

Super fun family game

We love this game! I play it with my boys that are 10, 8 and 5. It’s easy to learn and a round doesn’t take too long. The two oldest can play on a team together but the 5yo needs an adult to help.

Good family game

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas. He has enjoyed playing it with various members of his family as the rules are easy to learn and each game doesn’t take too long. It is ideal if you haven’t got a couple of hours to spare for a board game.

This is a fun and easy-to-learn version of Scotland Yard. Perfect for 15-20 minutes of fun. I played it with kids aged 6-8 and they all loved it! It's fun for adults too!

Children enjoy!

My children ages 6 and 3 love this game. It is really really boring for adults but quite short and the children seem to think it’s brilliant so we play it a lot!

Simple

Being Ravensburger, the fabric of this game is superb quality. The game is very easy to learn and the children enjoyed being Mister X. It was originally bought for two six year olds, but has now been passed on to younger cousins. We've bought the adult version.
