Picture yourself and your crew as the detectives of New Haven, ready to crack a case the police dismissed as natural. In Hidden Games: The New Haven Case, the team dives into a folk festival where a mysterious death leaves clues scattered across documents, fingerprints, and suspect alibis. The game is 100% cooperative: each player takes on a role in the investigation, analyzing interrogation cards, making calls, and even researching online to piece together the puzzle.

Deduction is the heart of the game; you need to combine facts, compare testimonies, and reach logical conclusions to uncover who truly took the life of whom. The scenario is dynamic: each playthrough can be a different case, with new stories and suspects, ensuring high replayability. Playtime ranges from 90 to 180 minutes, depending on how deep the team decides to go, and it requires a phone or tablet with internet access to receive messages that can shift the investigation’s direction.

With 1 to 6 players, the dynamic works best with 3 or 4, but any number can fit. The minimum age is 14, though younger kids can help with clue‑gathering tasks, making it a great family option for those who love mental challenges. Components are detailed: board, suspect tokens, document cards, fingerprint tokens, investigation board, and even a phone box. If you enjoy engaging narratives, teamwork, and limitless creativity, Hidden Games: The New Haven Case is a pick that will keep you glued to the table for hours.
