Masters of Crime: Vendetta

About this board game

Masters of Crime: Vendetta is a cooperative deductive murder mystery game for 1–6 players, with a play time of approximately 240 minutes.

Set in today’s New York mafia, the game puts players in the role of mafia members investigating the death of the godfather’s eldest son. Your objective is to uncover the mole within your own ranks while deciding how far you are willing to go to make suspects talk.

The investigation unfolds through a choose-your-own-adventure system. One by one, players enter realistically designed locations, encounter different suspects, and choose from three ways to handle each situation. Those decisions influence the course of the case and earn points based on how the group responds.

• A cooperative murder mystery built around deduction and investigation
• 12 hidden, realistic clue documents
• Complex puzzles and escape-room elements
• Real-world research using the internet, Google Maps, and Wikipedia

Players use the included deck of cards alongside the hidden documents and online information to follow clues and progress. Solving the puzzles is essential to moving deeper into the investigation, while the available choices add consequences to the group’s approach.

The immersive experience extends beyond the cards. Writing emails, exploring detailed web pages, and making cell phone calls all form part of the case, closely connecting the game to the real world. With its combination of deduction, digital research, moral decisions, and escape-room challenges, Masters of Crime: Vendetta offers a substantial mystery for groups or solo players.
