50 Clues: Dead or Alive

About this board game

50 Clues: Dead or Alive is an immersive puzzle game for 1–5 players that delivers an escape-room experience at home in approximately 90 minutes.

As a detective, you have spent four years trying to solve the deadly attack on your colleague and her son. The main suspect, Maria, escaped, but new information has finally emerged. Now, the hunt for Maria can begin again.

In Dead or Alive, the first part of the Hunt for Maria trilogy, you investigate the unfolding story by combining objects, solving puzzles, and deciphering codes. Each discovery helps move the investigation forward and brings you closer to understanding what happened.

• Combine objects to uncover new possibilities.
• Solve puzzles and decipher codes.
• Use a smartphone or tablet to keep track of solutions.
• Access multistep hints when you need help.

The digital support keeps the experience focused on the investigation while providing assistance without giving away every answer at once. Whether played alone or with a group, the game turns a detective story into an interactive puzzle challenge.

Released in 2021, 50 Clues: Dead or Alive is designed for players who enjoy narrative-driven mysteries, escape-room-style puzzles, and investigations that unfold through hands-on discovery. Begin the search for Maria and see where the evidence leads.
