Immerse yourself in a realistic and captivating investigation with Hidden Games – Island Mystery, a cooperative detective case for 1 to 6 players. On Île du Bourget, the mayor and a property developer have mysteriously disappeared, and a police officer is found dead: a true tragedy that raises immense questions.
Thanks to a rich dossier (paper documents, island map, location markers) and digital elements (online searches, messaging), players must examine every lead to unravel this major mystery.
How to play?
Game Setup
Take out the investigation envelope: it contains a complete file with realistic documents, reports, maps, and testimonies.
Set up the island map: the board includes reusable position markers to track character movements.
Prepare a smartphone, tablet, or computer connected to the internet: some clues require online consultation or an immersive chat.
Have paper and a pen handy: noting down hypotheses and making connections between characters and evidence is essential.
Gameplay outline
Reading the investigation: all players read the initial documents together to become familiar with the mysteries to be solved (disappearances, death, alibis).
Analyzing evidence: you examine case files, letters, reports, and exchanges, discuss as a team, and look for inconsistencies.
Using the online chat: an immersive messaging system allows you to virtually interact with witnesses, access additional leads, and unlock new information.
Positioning on the map: you move markers on the island map to trace characters' movements and better visualize key locations.
Discussion and deduction: by confronting your hypotheses and debating motives, alibis, and contradictions, you refine your theories until you reach the solution.
Win/Loss Condition
Victory: You identify the culprit(s), understand their motive, and submit the correct solution via the official tool (or game interface), which triggers the multimedia epilogue.
Defeat: Incorrect deduction, unresolved contradictions, or an erroneous submission prevent you from uncovering the truth—the mystery remains partially intact.
Our Tips for Winning
-
Allocate roles effectively from the outset
Right from the start, assign tasks: one player explores the paper documents, another monitors the online chat, and a third focuses on the island map. This organization maximizes your efficiency.
-
Systematically cross-reference each piece of evidence
Don't rely on a single source: compare reports, chat logs, and movements on the map. Inconsistencies between different media are often the key to the truth.
-
Use the map to reveal connections
The island map is not just a prop: use it to chronologically retrace the characters' movements, identify strategic areas, and reveal hidden connections between suspects.
