Solve puzzles, investigate clues and use your detective skills to crack the case in this series of immersive games. The Detective Society blurs the line between boardgame and immersive experience! Each game box contains printed materials such as letters, codes, physical evidence and other clues that you will need to complete your challenge. Season 1 investigates the disappearance of Claire Makova. Read the included instructions from your client carefully, and use your detective skills to solve the case! The game is designed for 1 - 4 players. In addition to the puzzles in the game box, you will also need to have an internet enabled device on-hand, such as a smartphone or laptop, to research and sleuth your way through the case. You can interact with the various games characters via SMS text, email and even phone calls! Puzzles can be solved consequentially or simultaneously if you want to be super efficient.
