Dune: House Secrets plunges you headfirst into the arid, intrigue-filled universe of Arrakis, utilizing the cooperative game system that made Portal's award-winning Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game a hit. One to four players take on the roles of rebels, tasked with solving a series of complex challenges, always with limited time and resources. The focus is entirely story-driven, where your group decisions will shape the narrative's progression. You'll explore different corners of the world, follow leads, seek help from allies, and face all kinds of opposition to advance the story. For a complete immersion, the game combines physical components – such as a deck of cards with crucial clues and plot twists, plus handouts – with digital resources on a dedicated website. This allows the story to take fun and surprising turns, keeping everyone captivated. The adventure begins with a prologue to get you acquainted with this massive universe, followed by three major episodes. Each takes about two to three hours to play. As you progress, characters can earn experience points, leveling up between missions and unlocking new options for future gameplay. Each episode works as a standalone story, but if you tackle all three, the master narrative unfolds into an epic climax, with a resolution that promises to impact the next two games in the trilogy. Prepare for an intense investigative and narrative experience in the heart of Dune!
