About the game
What you do in a play session
Punto de Origen is an immersive crime investigation experience blending physical and digital components. You get documents, photos, and printed clues, but also access videos, audio, and even custom-made websites. The goal? Solve a realistic crime with 11 possible endings that shift based on your choices. Play solo or cooperatively without destroying any materials—everything’s reusable. It feels like binge-watching a true-crime series, complete with actual phone calls (yes, you dial real numbers mid-game!) and live chats with suspects. Setup is a breeze: within 2 minutes, you’re deep in the case, analyzing evidence and connecting dots. If you love Hidden Games or playing detective with latex gloves, this one’s for you.
