About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to unravel mysteries in 'Perspectives', a cooperative game where communication is key, but with a twist! Each of you will hold crucial information, but the trick is to piece it all together without peeking at your partners' documents. It's like a puzzle where each piece is in a different person's hand, and you need to talk it out to fit everything together.
The game comes with three intriguing cases, each divided into four acts. You'll dive into reports, photographs, and clues, cross-referencing information to understand what happened. Think of an experienced detective, but with the whole team trying to assemble the puzzle simultaneously.
The cases take you to very different places and situations: 'THE NAGARAJA' throws you into India, dealing with a museum theft. 'THE DREGS' places you in California, investigating a poisoning case linked to the rock music scene. And 'FROM BUENAVISTA WITH LOVE' takes you to South America, where gangs and murders come into play.
'Perspectives' is perfect for those who enjoy deduction and mystery games, where teamwork and communication (even if limited!) are essential. If you like feeling like a true detective, gathering clues and reaching the final solution with your friends, this game will hook you from start to finish. It's an immersive experience that tests your observation and group reasoning skills.
