## Description

Detective is a modern crime board game, designed by Przemysław Rymer and Ignacy Trzewiczek. Solve mysterious crimes and see if you would handle the job of a true detective in a modern setting! This is a true board game that tells stories, because you will participate in those stories. Let's hope, that you will guess the end, before there is another crime.The game includes 5 scenarios for players to solve and a high quality components. Use every tool at your disposal to solve these crimes - consult the Internet, check the facts and constantly learn new clues. You are not playing a detective, you are a detective!

Review: Mind blowing - Best gaming experience ever! I could not stop playi'g! Oct 2025 Update: I’ve owned this game for years, and it’s still one of the best board-gaming experiences I’ve ever had. I own every edition except the Batman one, and I’ve introduced a dozen people to it — every single one of them walked away blown away. Detective isn’t a typical board game. It’s a mental labyrinth. You follow clues, sift through files, search the online database, and slowly piece together a story that unfolds one piece at a time based on your decisions. The writing is razor-sharp, the pacing deliberate, and the integration between the physical components and the online system still feels ahead of its time. It’s immersive in a way few games manage — the kind where you finish a session and realize you’ve been leaning forward for three hours straight. It’s not casual, and it’s not forgiving. You need the same group, focused energy, and snacks within arm’s reach. You’ll argue, theorize, get things wrong, and still feel like a team of exhausted investigators pulling an all-nighter in some windowless office. The components are simple but functional; the real magic is in the narrative design. Every spin-off or edition — LA Crimes, Season One, Vienna Connection — proves that the system holds. Each setting changes the tone, but the tension stays. Verdict: Still unmatched in how it fuses story, logic, and immersion. Detective isn’t just a game you play — it’s one you inhabit.
Review: Fun game filled with unique mechanics - We purchased this after playing Chronicles of Crime and having so much fun with that series. This game is just as fun, if not more so. The unique mechanics of this game include a database feature that you fill out as you progress through the game which gives you bios, fingerprint/evidence matching, and a few other fun tricks that make it feel more like a real detective process. The game, like Chronicles of Crime, has a time limit element to help build tension. One of my favorite parts of this game is how the stories are based on real life events/history, locations, people, etc. You need to use tools outside of the game such as online maps, Wikipedia, Google, etc. to research aspects of the cases. Highly recommend for those that enjoy a deep dive game. Pros: 1. Feels more like a detective experience 2. 1-6 players 3. Cases have details that are based on real-life events, people, places, etc. 4. English is not the first language of the writers, which can make for fun reading 5. Cases vary in length and difficulty as you progress through the story Cons: 1. Requires internet to play 2. Database tool can take some time to get used to using 3. Database sucks your laptop's battery due to high processing, recommend having a power supply available when playing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great detective game!
*by S***N on April 6, 2020*

The game is very well made and play tested, you can tell. The story is great! The game play is awesome and they change it up which makes it great to keep playing. The game is hard though so be prepared. My issue is with the final reports, in which you answer questions about the case to get a score. I don't agree with the questions they asked nor do I think they encompass the chapter you play. Ovreally a great game though!
