About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive into the dark and peculiar universe of Twin Peaks! In this 1991 British board game, you and your friends transform into the iconic characters from the TV series created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. The goal is to uncover who BOB is, that sinister entity using hosts to commit brutal murders in the quiet town of Twin Peaks. Each player takes on the role of a main character, gathering clues and using their abilities to uncover the truth. The game includes a game board, an arrow spinner to guide actions, Agent Cooper's Handbook (the rulebook), pentagon-shaped puzzles, a deck of suspect cards, donut counters (yes, donuts!), and dice, including a poker die. It's a nostalgic trip for fans of the series, allowing them to relive the unique atmosphere and mysteries that made Twin Peaks famous. The core mechanic revolves around dice rolling to determine the success of actions and advance the investigation, all while you try to piece together the puzzle to identify the culprit. If you're a fan of mystery, the original series, and enjoy games with a retro feel, this is an experience worth checking out.
