Chronicles of Crime: Welcome to Redview

About this expansion

Chronicles of Crime: Welcome to Redview is a family-friendly mystery expansion for 1–4 players, with a play time of approximately 90 minutes. Set in a small town in Maine during the 1980s, it follows six friends who join forces when animals begin disappearing—including Wookie, the sheriff’s dog.

Rather than investigating murders, players face a series of strange happenings in Redview. Since you take on the roles of kids, you cannot call on scientific contacts for assistance. Instead, you must rely on your strength, agility, and wit to reach your objectives and uncover what is happening in town.

Welcome to Redview features four new scenarios designed around its unusual, family-friendly mystery. The expansion requires the London base game to play, as well as the companion app. After the app has been downloaded, no Internet connection is needed during play.

• 10 location cards
• 15 special item cards
• 25 character cards
• 6 player boards
• 1 die
• 1 rulebook

The app requires Android 4.4 or newer, or iOS 8.0 or newer, though these requirements may change in the future. With its missing animals, young investigators, and eerie small-town setting, Chronicles of Crime: Welcome to Redview offers a gentler alternative to murder-focused investigations while retaining the mystery-solving focus of the series.

BoardGameGeek lists the game under release year 2018 because backers received it that year, while the publisher’s note identifies its actual release as 2019.
