What is a detective game?

Detective game It’s an immersive team-based journey into a film-noir universe that will test your wits and leave a lasting impression.

The stakes are high: having limited time, your agency must solve a labyrinthine case or the murderer gets off the hook. Gain access to all the case materials, police and coroner reports, fresh newspapers and gather witness statements - all in the comfort of a restaurant.

Dark jazz, rainy streets of the 50’s America, a foreboding sense of mystery - the game oozes atmosphere that will make you feel like a true detective!

How it works?

About five minutes is all it takes for any player to start working the case. The team (a detective agency) receives a briefing, a fresh newspaper, an address book and a list of questions they have to provide an answer to in order to solve the case.

The team decides where to go next to gather a new set of clues or witness statements, finds the necessary address in the address book and receives new information - if there is any. In two hours the agency submits their hypothesis and gets to discover what has really transpired.

What do you need to know?

Time: about two and a half hours (two hours of pure game time + briefing and debriefing);
Age: we suggest an adult audience (16+) due to the mature topics covered in the cases and the overall complexity of the game;
Information: all the information required to solve the case is presented within the game - no extra or prior knowledge is necessary;
People: 3 to 5 players per team are ideal for tight group dynamics.
Place: a restaurant or a cafeteria.
