Asmodee Chronicles of Crime (DK/SE)

Chronicles of Crime is a collaborative crime investigation that mixes an app, a board game and a dash of Virtual Reality.

With the same physical components (table, locations, characters and items), players will be able to play lots of different scenarios and solve so many different crime stories.

Players launch the app, select the scenario they want to play, and follow the story. The goal is to catch the murderer in the current case in the shortest possible time.

Using the Scan & Play technology, each component (locations, characters, items, etc.) has a unique QR code which, depending on the selected scenario, activates and triggers different tracks and stories. This means that players will be able to get new stories after the game is released by simply 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 (optional purchase) on their mobile device and put the VR glasses on their nose and hold their mobile device in front of their eyes to immerse themselves in the game's universe and search for clues in a virtual world.

The game comes with 1 tutorial and 5 scenarios, but more can be downloaded right inside the app! Each session lasts about 1 hour to 1:30 minutes, and many scenarios are connected to each other to tell a much larger story.
