About this board game
The Wilson Wolfe Affair is a cooperative mystery game for 1–10 players, combining a puzzle hunt, an at-home escape room, and an immersive narrative investigation.
Inside the crate is a collection of strange artefacts seemingly drawn from the world of 1930s animation. Letters, animation cels, booklets, puzzles, and games offer little instruction, inviting players to sort through the materials, connect the pieces, and look beneath the surface.
Progress comes through investigation and discovery rather than a conventional board-game structure. Read letters and diaries, piece stories together, make deductions, and fact-check the information you uncover. You will also need to break codes, crack riddles, solve puzzles, and find messages hidden in plain sight.
