Chronicles of Crime is cooperative game of crime investigation, mixing VR experience and board gaming.

With the same physical components (board, locations, characters and items), players will be able to play plenty of different scenarii and solve as many different crime stories.

They will start the app, choose the scenario they want to play, and follow the story. The goal being to catch the killer of the case they have been given in the shortest short time possible.

Using the Scan&Play technology, each component (locations, characters, items, etc.) has a unique QR code, which, depending on the scenario selected, will activate and trigger different clues and stories. That means players will be able to get new stories way after the game is release simply by downloading the app's updates, without any shipping of new physical components involved.

The VR experience only requires a mobile phone. Players simply put the VR glasses provided inside the game onto their mobile device, and put the VR glasses on their nose, holding their mobile device in front of their eyes, to immerse themselves in the game's universe and search for clues in a virtual world.

Each session last around 1h to 1h30 minutes and many scenarios are connected to each others in order to tell a much bigger story.

Novel

Very cool game. Using the app to look at a cringe scene is a very novel experience. My favorite of these crime solving games. Cool expansions too

Seems to be overrated

We've played Unlock!, Exit The Game and now this. Probably was the least of our favourite. Great idea but with so much app scanning, sometimes the second player feels left out. Could work better as a single player. Little too abstract for me. At least with Unlock and Exit, the cards/puzzles are right there in front of you, had to write a lot down during this game. Also, never totally felt I was asking the right people questions/picking the right items.

Still entertaining though
