About the game
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES INTO SERIAL MURDERS A string of unsolved crimes has left the city on edge as a cunning killer leaves victims in the shadows. Their weakness? A cereal addiction! Will the investigation team figure out their whereabouts in time to arrest them? One player goes as the Killer, and their goal is to take six victims while secretly moving along the streets. The other player is a detective who will test their deduction skills to track the criminal, and interrogate witnesses for key information to arrest them before the week ends. This new edition improves the rules, components, and adds a third player: Lola the dog.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Cereal Killer is 10–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Cereal Killer for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
