Unravel Intrigue with Our Games
The product range from The Detective Society is diverse, catering to various levels of detective experience. Their flagship offerings are multi-episode seasons like 'The Disappearance of Claire Makova' and 'The Cursed Exhibition', providing hours of gameplay. For those looking for a shorter commitment, standalone games such as 'Countdown To Chaos' or bundles like the 'Moon BUNDLE' offer complete mysteries. They also provide a free digital tester game, allowing new players to experience their unique style of immersive puzzle-solving before committing to a full physical game. Each game is packed with fiendish puzzles and intricate winding plots, ensuring a truly satisfying investigation.
The Immersive Experience
Designed for players aged 14 and up (with specific print-at-home adventures for younger detectives aged 8-14), The Detective Society games offer an unparalleled immersive experience. They combine elements of escape rooms, theatre, and traditional board games, without the need to learn complicated rules. Players simply open the box and begin investigating, using physical clues and sometimes even digital interactions like sending SMS messages or making calls. An online clue system and community support via Facebook and Reddit are available to help detectives who get stuck, ensuring a rewarding experience for everyone.
