This original game from Japanese lands swells the catalogs of the murder mystery genre, increasingly widespread in the international recreational arena.

What is a murder mystery?

In this deductive genre, each player plays the role of a character with the dual purpose of clarifying a mystery and simultaneously achieving their own goals. The investigation, the negotiations with the rest of the cast and the exchange of information are fundamental pieces to solve the crime, but we must not forget that the murderer is one of you. You cannot believe everything they tell you, but neither can you win without trusting someone ... Enjoy this unique experience that, although used only once, will leave you wanting more.

byfed
byfed8/10
Juego de rol "one shot". Con una duración de un par de horas y de hasta 9 jugadores, en la que cada jugador debe interpretar a un personaje y deducir quien ha asesinado a una medium en una mansión familiar relacionada con el mundo Cthulu. El éxito del juego depende de la implicación de los jugadores. Es un juego de un solo uso. Con el grupo adecuado, es una experiencia muy grata y dejar muy buenos momentos.
