About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive into a thrilling mystery with 'Detective: Signature Series – Dig Deeper'! Written by master Rob Daviau, this is the kickoff to the Signature series, taking you and your friends (or just you, if you enjoy a solo challenge!) to a small American town in the 70s. The mission? To unravel the murder of a local politician that's keeping everyone up at night.
Just like the base game 'Detective', 'Dig Deeper' doesn't skimp on theme and throws you headfirst into the investigation. You'll use modern tools, like the accompanying app, to connect clues, interrogate suspects (virtually, of course!), and piece together the puzzle. It's an immersive experience that will make you feel like a true detective, with twists and turns that will keep you glued to your seat.
Supporting 1 to 5 players and with a playtime ranging from 90 to 120 minutes, 'Dig Deeper' is perfect for game nights with friends or for those who enjoy a solo mental workout. The complexity is moderate, but the reward of solving the case is immense. If you enjoy games with a rich story, deduction, and a touch of technology, this expansion is a must-have. It's not just a game; it's a story you help to tell!
