About the game

What you do in a play session

Decktective: The Gaze of the Ghost is a cooperative investigation game where you and your friends take on the roles of detectives solving a eerie mystery. With a 3D crime scene and a deck full of clues, you'll need to work together to share information, discard false leads, and deduce the solution to the case. Each card has a value from 1 to 10, and you can only reveal a card if its value is less than or equal to the number of cards already discarded – adding a strategic layer to the investigation. At the end, you answer questions about the case, and each correct answer scores points. The more points, the better your team's outcome. Perfect for mystery lovers and group mental challenges!
