## Description
Scavenger is a treasure‑hunt game that blends mystery, logic, and a race against the clock. When you open the box, you become a private detective tasked with solving the murder of Ernest Whitlock, the head of the Valley Falls Historical Society. The goal is simple: locate the items that match the clues on the cards and piece everything together before time runs out. You can play solo, in teams, or cooperatively, and there are three different modes that change how you win. If you’re the first to find the required number of items, you win. Each card presents a description of an object that must be located in the city, and the race is real: every move counts and the clock is always ticking. The game blends deduction, scavenger‑hunt, and escape‑room mechanics, and it even requires the use of an app or website to track clues and the timer. The components include clue cards, item tokens, time markers, and a digital support app. Scavenger is ideal for fans of mystery, treasure hunts, and fast‑paced challenges, and it works well for families looking for a cooperative or solo experience. The game can last from 45 to 240 minutes, depending on the chosen mode, and the difficulty is moderate: you need to pay attention to the clues and stay calm as the time runs out. If you enjoy games that demand logical reasoning and speed, Scavenger is the perfect pick for your next game night.
