Hidden Games Tatort: Reif für die Insel

About this board game

Hidden Games Tatort: Reif für die Insel is a cooperative murder mystery game for 1–6 players, offering an investigation that takes approximately 180 minutes.

An island is in shock: the mayor has disappeared, a building contractor is on the wrong track, and a policeman has been found dead. Commissioner Hahnke needs your help to uncover the truth and solve the island’s mysteries.

As a team of investigators, you will examine documents, study fingerprints, check alibis, and search for motives. The case calls for careful attention and creative thinking, with no limits placed on how you pursue the investigation.

• Analyse letters and other documents
• Interpret police interviews with suspects
• Study fingerprints and compare the evidence
• Discuss alibis, motives, and possible connections
• Make telephone calls and research information on the Internet

Record your discoveries on the large poster as you gradually assemble the information. The investigation is deliberately multidimensional, asking your group to connect clues, assess statements, and follow every promising scent.

Hidden Games Tatort: Reif für die Insel is designed for players aged 14 and over and is too complex for a group of younger children. In a family game, however, younger children can still contribute to the detective work. Internet access and a phone are required for the research, and the case can be completed in one session or set aside and continued another day.
