PULSE

Hey folks! Ready for a detective-worthy time-travel adventure? Pulse is an investigation game that throws you right into a crime scene – except you'll have to unravel what happened by going back in time!

Originally created for the Game Chef competition in 2013, Pulse not only rocked the Brazilian stage but became the world champion, outshining over 160 games. After a few tweaks to make everything clearer, it arrived ready to challenge your minds.

Here's how it works: you and your friends suggest hypotheses about past events, drawing "pulses" that connect clues and occurrences. By drawing these lines and questioning the origins of each event, new possibilities emerge, like a temporal domino effect. It's pure deduction and creativity!

With games lasting around 1.5 hours (but they can extend if the group wants to dive deep into the story), Pulse is perfect for groups of 3 to 5 players who enjoy unraveling mysteries and creating narratives together. The variable phase order mechanic ensures every game is different, while dice rolling adds that touch of unpredictability. Get ready to negotiate, tell stories, and, of course, draw your own investigation lines. If you enjoy a game that blends mystery, creativity, and an intellectual challenge, Pulse is the right pick!
