About the game
What you do in a play session
In Fairmont Estates, a posh neighborhood of Valley Falls, everything looks perfect—except the house on Bradford Street, which sat empty and abandoned for three years after its last resident’s death. When a family finally buys the mansion, renovations begin, but what they uncover behind the walls goes beyond bricks and paint: the remains of a reporter missing for a year, buried alive. At the heart of the game, players take on the role of cooperative investigators, gathering clues, interrogating suspects, and unearthing secrets that the neighbors have been hiding. The narrative unfolds in two layers: the team investigation, where following clues leads to surprising revelations, and the solo option, diving into a more introspective experience. The game offers between 45 and 240 minutes of play, supporting 1 to 6 players—ideal for groups seeking logical challenges and immersive storytelling. Deductive mechanics demand attention to detail, while the digital component—a companion app that provides real‑time clues—adds an extra layer of immersion. If you love mysteries, investigations, and cooperative games with a touch of suspense, Behind The Wall promises hours of tension and discovery.
