Emerald Echoes

About this board game

Emerald Echoes is a narrative puzzle adventure for 1–99 players, with an approximately 240-minute play time. Across four chapters, players take the role of a historical researcher uncovering the story of a legendary alchemist and her companions.

This standalone sequel to The Emerald Flame combines beautifully illustrated puzzles with tactile artifacts and an unfolding story. Each chapter presents a collection of unlabeled items alongside folders that guide the investigation.

The green puzzle folders are labeled in numerical order, such as 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, showing the sequence in which they should be solved. There are thirteen green puzzle folders in total. Blue folders contain no puzzles, but they are opened within the same sequence to reveal additional pieces of the narrative.

• Four chapters following a historical mystery
• Thirteen green puzzle folders arranged in numbered solving order
• Blue story folders that expand the narrative without adding puzzles
• Illustrated documents and tactile artifacts to investigate
• Analysis cards containing incremental hints and each puzzle’s solution

Every green folder includes at least one written document to investigate. Use that document as a jumping-off point while working out which items from the collection are needed to solve the puzzle.

When a puzzle proves challenging, its folder also provides an Analysis card with incremental hints, followed by the solution. This gives the investigation a structured path while allowing players to uncover Emerald Echoes at their own pace.
