The detective game, crime scene London. Scotland Yard hunts down the mysterious Mister X. One player is Mister X, the other the detectives. An exciting chase begins. But Mister X is not recognisable for the detectives. The only clue: his tickets.
Where does he move next? About the Thames? Back to Buckingham Palace? In order to lay Mister X the craft, the detectives must prove teamwork and work well together. Caution: Mister X likes to trick everyone, secretly uses a ferry at once and blurs all tracks.
Mister X has won when he manages to drive through London until the end of the final round of the game without being caught by Scotland Yard. The detectives win when a detective is on the same station simultaneously with Mister X. Excitement to the last second is guaranteed in this classic game.

Product description
Product Description
This colourful and fun new look Scotland Yard still has all the fun of the previous version. A family favourite for over 20 years, families love playing Scotland Yard over and over again, as no two games are ever the same. Notorious criminal Mr X is on the run in Central London. Can Scotland Yard’s finest detectives track him down, or will he escape forever? One player takes on the role of Mr X, whilst other players take on the role of detectives and work as a team to try to find him. Mr X only reveals his location every 5 moves, but the detectives can get clues as to his location by looking at his travel log, which reveals his chosen method of transport. The detectives also move around the board using taxi, bus and underground tickets, and must try to surround Mr X, and then move to his hidden location to catch him and win. But the detectives don’t always win and Mr X can escape to any of the 199 locations shown on the detailed map of Central London! Scotland Yard is an absorbing game that calls for strategy and logical thinking skills, plus plenty of teamwork from the detective team. It can be enjoyed by children aged 10+ and also by adults who enjoy the unique play elements involved in the game.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2013Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseThe game is good fun and kept us well entertained. It is also lovely to discuss the different strategies as to how the detectives can find Mr. X with the children and see how their understanding and reasoning changes and improves. The new map of London is really nice and has just the right level of detail (although personally I would appreciate at least a few street names to be printed on it).
I fully agree that the new instructions are unnecessarily complicated and have followed the advice (thank-you !) of one of the other reviewers to play by the "good old" instructions as per Wikipedia; those are a bit vague but make sense once all the pieces that come with the game have been looked at - e.g. where it says each player receives 22 tokens, the actual number of individual tokens (taxi 11, bus 8, underground 4) are actually printed on the detective's colour-coded cards. We have tweaked the rules slightly to suit our needs and hence can make the game longer or shorter, according to the patience of the players participating.
Even though the game is clearly "German", the instructions do come in 5 other languages including English. As for the game itself it makes no difference as far as we noticed, but I'm happy to stand corrected if someone points out what the difficulty is. The landmarks on the map are referenced by their original names, e.g. "Houses of Parliament" or "The Shard" etc., so I'm not sure what other reviewers were referring to when saying they unfortunately received the "German version". Maybe the instruction manual in their sets was provided only in German; Ours, however, arrived in German, Italian, Dutch, French and English - admittedly, I gave up on reading the instructions as they seem complicated and over-engineered in any language that I can understand.
Nevertheless, it's a great fun game that won't become boring as both the detectives on one side as well as Mr. X on the other improve their strategies of pursuit and escape and the game will be different every time it gets played as the starting positions are different. It is well made and seems durable. Hope you enjoy it, we certainly do.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2015Style Name: standardVerified Purchasebrilliant game to play with a group. We bought it for our 7 year old as she loves games and we have now played it many many times. Certainly one that needs some older input with younger children but she certainly understands the strategy involved now.
I would highly recommend this game for people who want something a bit more in depth then the usual board games. There is a lot of strategy and thinking involved and a great way of getting people playing and working together.
We did receive the 'German version' as other reviews have stated, however this doesn't matter. All the rules and instructions are also in English so none of the pieces have any writing on so the only thing is some of the words on the front of the box are in German, but that does not matter in the slightest.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2018Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseVery good game, very quick and simple to understand. Not easy to escape as Mr X, makes you think and it is nice to have a game that encourages cooperation and team work rather than individualism.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2015Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseWe really like the game, but the explanations are a little difficult to read and understand.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2015Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseGood game to play with older kids and adults, was perfect for Christmas and New Year. Would recommend as a family board game, fast efficient delivery just before Christmas, thanks.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 November 2013Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseI bought this for my niece for Christmas, so we haven't played it yet. However, she loves Cluedo and other mystery games so I'm hoping this will be a big hit.
This was well priced and arrived promptly. I had no issues!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2021Style Name: standardVerified Purchasebut might be hard for kids under 13teen
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2014Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseWe have really enjoyed playing this with our grandchildren. It is different from most games we usually play, and needs some skill.
There are two different levels so that the children can get into it and understand it before embarking on the next level. The children are aged 10 and above, and really enjoy it, but it doesn't go on for ever like Monopoly etc. can!

5.0 out of 5 stars Echt ein Super-Spiel
Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseIch hatte das große Vergnügen, "Scotland Yard" von Ravensburger auszuprobieren, und ich muss sagen, dass dieses Spiel meine Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen hat! Als großer Fan von Krimis und Detektivgeschichten war ich von Anfang an gespannt auf das Spiel, aber es hat mich regelrecht begeistert.
Zu Beginn fällt einem sofort die hochwertige Verarbeitung des Spiels auf. Die detailgetreue Karte von London und die stabilen Spielfiguren vermitteln ein Gefühl von Qualität. Die Anleitung ist gut verständlich und erklärt die Regeln Schritt für Schritt, was den Einstieg sehr einfach macht.
Das eigentliche Spielgeschehen ist unglaublich spannend. Die Jagd nach Mister X quer durch die Straßen von London ist ein Nervenkitzel, den man in kaum einem anderen Spiel erleben kann. Die Kombination aus Taxi-, Bus- und Underground-Tickets sorgt für taktische Tiefe und erfordert kluges Planen und Zusammenarbeiten mit den anderen Detektiven.
Was mir besonders gefallen hat, ist die Vielseitigkeit des Spiels. Obwohl es ab 8 Jahren empfohlen wird, ist es auch für Erwachsene äußerst unterhaltsam. Die abstrakte Strategie, die man entwickeln muss, um Mister X zu fangen, stellt eine echte Herausforderung dar und hält die Spannung bis zur letzten Minute aufrecht.
Ich habe "Scotland Yard" sowohl mit meiner Familie als auch mit Freunden gespielt, und es hat jedes Mal für viel Spaß und Begeisterung gesorgt. Es ist das perfekte Spiel für gemütliche Spieleabende oder gesellige Runden.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jeu légendaire
Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseUn jeu parfait pour tout âge et pas très compliqué à comprendre. C'est le seul jeu sans chance que je connaisse. Le suspens est insoutenable et l'audace peut donner la victoire au Mister X. Je recommande vivement !

5.0 out of 5 stars Juego del gato y ratón
Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseEs un juego muy divertido que pueden jugarse a partir de los 8 años de edad en especial tiene un modo sencillo que es más fácil para los más pequeños; aunque los adultos lo disfrutaran mas.
El tema es que uno de los jugadores es un ladrón y debe escapar de los otros (detectives) moviéndose por turnos y mediante diferentes modos de transporte.
La calidad de los materiales es muy buena.
Lo único malo es que no tiene instrucciones al español

5.0 out of 5 stars Great family game for all ages!
Style Name: standardVerified PurchaseI bought this game after playing it at a friend’s game night. It was easy to learn and we love that it‘s actually all players against one player (Mister X) meaning our 5 year old can easily take part. He feels really special playing a board game aimed at people older than him. Thanks Ravensburger!
