Description

Detective: Season One is a fully cooperative, deeply immersive, board game in which 1 to 5 players take on the roles of investigators trying to solve a crime.

Detective: Season One stand-alone game in the award winning Detective line.

The game has a shorter playtime, is perfectly tailored for a mystery game night, and has simpler family-friendly rules. It consists of 3 stand-alone cases which can be played in around 90 minutes each. Each of the cases challenges players with different stings and case styles, inviting players to Richmond’s Suburbs, the Virginia University campus, and to a manor house in the English countryside.
