About the game
What you do in a play session
The Secret Set throws you into the electrifying Meadowlands Festival with one goal: uncover the truth behind a secret set that vanished from the official schedule. This cooperative experience turns everyone into detectives - you'll need to scour clues, crack codes, and connect dots before time runs out. The physical components are a highlight: secret envelopes that alter the narrative as you progress, postcards featuring iconic locations, even a massive Arrakis map that makes you feel lost in the desert. Playable with 1-8 people, it's the kind of game that creates great post-game stories - or at least heated arguments about who botched the deductions.
