24 Hour Crime Scene

A Crime-Solving RPG

After a vicious murder has been committed, you and your colleagues are the detectives tasked with solving the case, but you only have 24 hours at the crime scene to connect the clues, interview the suspects, and uncover the truth of what happened. 

Overview

24 Hour Crime Scene is a role-playing game for one to four players where each player assumes the role of a detective investigating the crime scene of a murder.

Over the course of the game you will discover more about the crime scene, discover clues, collect evidence, find suspects and interview them.

As a player, it is up to you to invent the clues and information that you discover. For instance, when you discover a clue, you decide what that clue is, and then draw it onto the crime scene, anywhere you’d like. It will then be up to you and the other detectives to connect all of the clues and evidence later to tell the unique story of the victim's murder.

By the end of the game you will have gathered enough evidence to charge one of the suspects with the murder. 

Turn Order

On your turn you will do the following:

1. Draw a card, read the related prompt, and then resolve it.

2. You will also take an additional action where you can add a clue to the crime scene, turn a clue into evidence, interview a suspect or even consult with the other detectives.

Variants

Included with the game are two alternative game modes:

Serial Killer Mode: A campaign-style mode with a single killer and three victims that plays over a series of games.

Solo Mode: A solo version of the game that plays almost identically to multiplayer mode.
