After playing Search for Planet X, I really liked the idea of combining a board game with an app. However, I felt that there was very little direct interaction between the players.
That inspired me to design a game that uses an app while also encouraging players to interact with each other throughout the game. The app still provides the deduction challenge, but the player interaction adds another layer of strategy, creating meaningful decisions that go beyond simply solving the puzzle. I think this combination makes for a more engaging and dynamic experience.
About the game:
The great heist was executed in the city of London. You and your fellow PIs are recruiting your assistants to gather clues to find the eight stolen goods. However, if you pay your assistants too much, your agency will close. If you don’t pay them enough, they will reveal their knowledge to your opponents as revenge for you being a miser. Can you find the stolen goods before your opponents without closing your agency, and without revealing too much of your clues?
You can download the app, print the components and play the game for free.
