About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a thrill ride of chills and mysteries with Black Stories: Horror Movies Edition! If you enjoy unraveling enigmas that send shivers down your spine, this version is for you. Here, the menu is terrifying: blood-sucking vampires, brain-hungry zombies, and rabid werewolves are just the beginning. It features 50 macabre scenarios directly inspired by the most terrifying scenes in cinema, from timeless classics to those cult and 'trash' films we love to adore. The concept is simple: one player reads the riddle, and the others try to reconstruct what happened, step by step, by asking only questions that can be answered with 'yes' or 'no'. It's a perfect game to test your deductive skills and creativity, turning any gathering into a Hollywood-worthy investigation session (just with more scares!). Take it on a road trip, to a party with friends, or anywhere you want to add a touch of suspense and fun. The adrenaline rush is guaranteed, and the fun will outweigh any fear!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions

How many players can participate?

The game is super flexible, playable by 2 people or up to 222! It's ideal to have a group for asking questions and one 'master' to answer.

How long does a game session last?

Each riddle usually takes a few minutes to about 15 minutes to solve, depending on the group's skill in asking the right questions.

Do I need to know a lot about horror movies?

Not necessarily! Although the theme is horror movies, the game focuses more on deduction and questions. Knowing the movies might add an extra flavor, but it's not required to have fun.

Is it a cooperative or competitive game?

It's entirely cooperative! Everyone works together to unravel the mystery. The 'master' who reads the card answers the questions, but the goal is for the group to figure out the story.

Do the cards have a lot of information?

The main cards present a brief description of the macabre scenario. The 'master's' answers are only 'yes' or 'no', so the key lies in how you ask!

Is it too scary to play with everyone?

The theme is horror, so there might be descriptions of shocking events. However, the guessing mechanic and group interaction make the experience more fun than scary for most.
