Glitch Squad

About this board game

Glitch Squad is a 15-minute team game for 4–8 players about writing clues, identifying evidence, and cracking passwords.

The forensic scientists of the Glitch Squad have each been assigned a crime scene to analyze. But the office cat, Glitch, has accidentally changed the password to every evidence locker. To make matters worse, Glitch can interfere with the clues meant to help your teammates.

Each round, you write three clues to help one of your teammates guess a piece of evidence connected to the crime. The evidence may be a location, weapon, occupation, or hobby. Then an opponent takes on the role of the meddlesome cat, erasing one of your clues and replacing it with a “Glitched” clue designed to stump your ally.

Can your teammate identify the evidence while knowing that one clue is unreliable? If the guess is correct, your team reveals the next letter in its evidence-locker password. If the guess fails, the opponent who glitched the clues gets the next letter in their own password instead.

• Write three clues for a teammate.
• Identify the location, weapon, occupation, or hobby.
• Erase and replace an opposing clue as Glitch.
• Reveal password letters when guesses succeed—or when rivals fail.

Every round in Glitch Squad combines creative clue writing with deduction and disruption. Read the clues carefully, decide which one has been glitched, and work together to reveal all the letters in your password before the other team does.
