You're not sure how you feel, but definitely not good. A body was found in Hyde Park, and the commissioner just made it your case. It's not your first murder case. But with the vague details the commissioner gave you, something about this one feels worse than usual. You can feel it in your guts. You leave the police station, get in your car, and close the door. You think about what you just heard. You already know you'll have to tell the family, and that's no easy task. You shake off your thoughts, start the engine, and drive away to the crime scene. Time to get to work. Imagine a game like Time Stories, but where the material is fully reusable to play new stories way after you have purchased the game. This is the promise of Chronicles of Crime. Enabled by our 'Scan & Play' technology, each character, location, or evidence is linked to a QR Code. This means that each character can become someone else, each district can be linked to a different place and 3D scenes can be reinvented. This gives your game the capacity to become anything based on each author's take on it! A key element of Chronicles of Crime is the capacity to search for physical evidence in Virtual Reality. If you have purchased the optional VR Glasses (sold separately), attach them to your device, bring them to your eyes and experience the crime scene as if you were there. While the player looking at the scene describes out loud what they see, the other players try to find the matching evidence categories. After the 45 second session ends, each category is scanned to see if it actually carries an interest for the investigation. You can also play without VR Glasses, by simply moving around with your phone or by a touch of a finger! Start the App and select your scenario. Follow the dialogue and meet new people. Search for evidence in 3D scenes. Travel to new locations. Call your scientific contacts. Discuss all evidence and make an arrest. In Chronicles of Crime: Noir, you are Sam, a private detective in Los Angeles. Or maybe you are Bob, a scriptwriter for Hollywood? You are not quite sure as you wake up, laying on the tarmac of a small street with a massive headache. So many details are missing. How did you end up here? You are certain of only one thing. You are by yourself. And this means using any means necessary. Features four new scenarios by Stephane Anquetil. Some strange things have started to happen in the small town of Redview. For weeks now, animals have been disappearing. When Wookie, Richy's dog, disappears as well, six friends get together to try to find him. Features four new scenarios by Ghislain Masson. ## Features - Chronicles of Crime is cooperative game of crime investigation, mixing VR experience and board gaming - Start the app, choose the scenario you want to play, and follow the story - Catch the culprit of the case in the shortest time possible - All you need to enjoy the VR experience is your phone - For 1 to 4 players | 60 to 90 minutes play time | Ages 14 and up ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | Teen, Adult | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Asin | B07CN8TJDQ | | Best Sellers Rank | 43,412 in Toys & Games (See Top 100 in Toys & Games) 953 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | Lucky Duck Games | | Colour | Mixed Colours | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Cpsia Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts, No Warning Applicable | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,654) 4.5 out of 5 stars | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Educational Objective | Develop critical thinking, teamwork, and deduction skills | | Estimated Playing Time | 90 Minutes | | Expansion For | Chronicles of Crime | | Game Mechanics | cooperative | | Genre | Mystery | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00603813959628 | | Included Components | 40 x Character Cards, 35 x Evidence Category Cards, 10 x Special Item Cards, 4 x Forensic Contact Boards, 12 x Location Boards, 1 x Rulebook, 1 x Evidence Board | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 5.2 x 30 x 30 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L X W | 30L x 30W centimetres | | Item Type Name | Chronicles of Crime | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Lucky Duck Games | | Manufacturer Part Number | LKY035 | | Manufacturer Recommended Age | 14 years and up | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No warranty included. | | Material Type | Cardstock | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 168.0 | | Model Number | 933340 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Number Of Players | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Rulebook Availability | Digital PDF | | Set Name | Chronicles of Crime | | Size | 30 cm x 5.2 cm x 30 cm | | Special Features | Board Game | | Subject Character | Investigators | | Supported Battery Types | False | | Theme | Humor, Strategy | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Upc | 603813959628 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lucky Duck Games - **Genre:** Mystery - **Material:** Cardstock - **Number of players:** 4 - **Theme:** Humor, Strategy ## Images ![Lucky Duck Games | Chronicles of Crime | Board Game | Ages 14+ | 1-4 Players | 60-90 Minute Playing Time - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814AvDtxQ1L.jpg) ![Lucky Duck Games | Chronicles of Crime | Board Game | Ages 14+ | 1-4 Players | 60-90 Minute Playing Time - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81x2MV6mQTL.jpg) ![Lucky Duck Games | Chronicles of Crime | Board Game | Ages 14+ | 1-4 Players | 60-90 Minute Playing Time - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gO9YTkssL.jpg) ![Lucky Duck Games | Chronicles of Crime | Board Game | Ages 14+ | 1-4 Players | 60-90 Minute Playing Time - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71K7Qkxg7yL.jpg) ![Lucky Duck Games | Chronicles of Crime | Board Game | Ages 14+ | 1-4 Players | 60-90 Minute Playing Time - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81R66WYqaIL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the case replayability like on this game please? As in do elements of the cases change when replay or is it a once you play a case your done?** A: Once you have completed a case and found all the elements, there is nothing else to play. If you get to the end and didn't get everything 100% right, you can replay but nothing will be different **Q: Can you use any VR glasses you may already have?** A: You do not need VR glasses. It has the option for you to use this with or without a phone holder. **Q: Can you use the oculus rift to play this ?** A: I don’t think so. You’ll need the app on a phone ideally, with a QR reader. **Q: Can you disable the timed aspect of the game?** A: I don't think so. I think the idea is that you would solve the crime in a certain amount of days, which makes it harder to investigate all avenues (so you can miss important leads if you investigate the wrong place). I think this is done on purpose to affect whether you gather all information about the crime, or follow dead ends, which then changes your rating at the end of the game. Otherwise, you could just keep playing until you have every bit of information and get the best ranking. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Quality Time for Couples *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 April 2020* I've had my eyes set on this game for quite some time and at last I got my hands on it. The inclusion of the mobile was not something I am very keen on in board games but it turned out to be much better than I expected. The cases and the characters are very well built so far and I love the graphic design of the materials. Plus as someone that is called OCD a few times, the box design is bliss. It has special compartments for every piece and also extra compartments for the pieces that come with the expansions and makes sure that nothing gets jumbled up when you put the game up on the shelf.I don't think I will be playing any of the cases twice because I don't like stories that I know the twists beforehand. But the two expansions and new cases that are being available through the app makes this game playable for a long time. I am playing this with my wife. I think that is the best number of players for this game because with more than two it may get boring for some of the players. I didn't use my low cost VR case that you can put the mobile in for the VR scenes which seemed too much of an effort at the time. Maybe it may be better like that but checking the VR scenes directly on your phone with two sets of eyes seemed rather more advantageous.All in all 10/10. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favourite board games *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 June 2020* I love this game. The art work and game play are great. If you like things like cluedo/sherlock Holmes etc I think you'll really enjoy this game. The only minor fault is I think the game was made in France and translated to English, so occasionally you might come across a slightly incorrect translation/grammatical error, but that is more to do with the app you use to play the game, rather than the board and pieces. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very enjoyable and involving fun for 1-6 people *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 15 February 2024* This is the first puzzle game I've tried that blends a board and phsyical cards with virtual reality on a phone. Learning how it all works takes a while and I totally recommend playing the tutorial case first which is very enjoyable in itself. After we had done that we felt we know how to navigate around London and the various scenes and were ready to tackle our first proper mystery.Mind you, we took 90 mins to complete the tutorial puzzle so we left it there to start a fully-fledged game another day.The props and design of the game is very good quality and I would definitely recommend this game to anyone even if they've never tried a hybrid booard game / virtual game before. Good value for money in my opinion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Chronicles of Crime Board Game | Murder Mystery Game | Criminal Investigation Game | Cooperative Game for Kids and Adults | Ages 12+ | 1-4 Players | Avg.
