About the game

What you do in a play session

In *Kronologic: Cuzco 1450*, you're a detective in the heart of the Inca Empire, solving crimes amidst the ancient landscapes of Cusco. The game offers 15 challenges across 3 immersive scenarios, where you must uncover the culprit, weapon, and crime location. The mechanics are an evolution of classic *Clue*: each player interrogates suspects by aligning cards under perforated cardboard tiles, revealing partial information to everyone but extra details only to the active investigator. The Cusco map adds strategic layers with blocked or one-way routes, requiring careful planning. Victory hinges on how you organize clues on your notepad—and who connects the dots first. With rich atmosphere and logic-driven deduction, it's perfect for fans of historical mysteries and smart puzzles.
