About the game
Get your detective hat ready (and maybe a bit of courage) because things are getting weird in Redview! If you're already a fan of the Chronicles of Crime series, this expansion is exactly the twist you need to change the investigative mood. Forget those heavy murder mysteries for a moment; this one is much lighter and family-friendly. The big drama? Animals are mysteriously vanishing from town, and this time, Wookie, the sheriff's dog, is the latest victim!

In this adventure set in the nostalgic 1980s in the state of Maine, you aren't government agents or high-tech scientists. Nope! You are just a group of friends trying to solve the mystery using what you've got: strength, agility, and of course, plenty of wit. It's a pure adventure experience where deduction is your best tool. This expansion brings four new scenarios that promise hours of cooperative fun, with everyone working together to uncover what's happening in this small town.

Just a heads-up: to join the fun, you absolutely need the base game (London) and the app installed. The good news is that once downloaded, you don't need an internet connection to play. It's the perfect dose of nostalgia and mystery to play with friends or family, without the heavy pressure of brutal crimes, but with all the excitement of an adventure investigation. Grab your flashlights and let's find out what Redview is hiding!
