Hidden Games Tatort: Königsmord

About this board game

Hidden Games Tatort: Königsmord is a guided crime investigation game for 1–6 players, with an expected play time of about 180 minutes. In this beginner-friendly case, your team must uncover what happened at the König family’s country estate.

The König family’s annual celebration takes a disturbing turn. Shortly before the feast, patriarch Casper König disappears without a trace. The following morning, his son Egon is found dead, leaving the family to scrutinise one another. Everyone is a suspect as you investigate the events surrounding the festival.

Work together to examine letters and interpret police interviews with various suspects. Collect discoveries on information sheets, compare alibis, and discuss possible motives as you gradually build a picture of the case. Your investigation takes a multidimensional approach rather than relying on a single clue or question.

• Designed for 1–6 players
• Approximately 180 minutes of investigation
• A structured case suitable for beginners
• Guidance from “Inspector Hahnke” through the investigation
