Like an Escape Room, but instead of one Room, it goes over a whole City. The adventure usually starts somewhere in the center. At the start, you will discover the first clue. When you solve that puzzle, it points you to the second challenge. Each challenge will be a bit more difficult than the last one. And the final station will be the hardest. You have to find all the station to succeed. And the clues can be anywhere: A particular piece hanging in a gallery. A hidden message on a tape in a record store. A code between the lines of a graffiti. This app will help you on your way. It shows when you’re close to a station. And you can control some installations. To start, gather a team of 2-4 players. Each player shuld be equipped with the app on his phone and charged batteries. All trails are open 24/7. Good luck.

About

Murder Party Pocket

Features
Read full description

This is the companion app to play MURDER PARTY POCKET, the investigation tabletop game that will transport you to the crime scenes in Naples, 1932, alongside the famous Commissario Ricciardi. As in a real role-playing game, you will play the role of characters involved in various ways in some murder cases and try to find out who the murderer is. All the clues are contained in cartoon-style cards that report scenes that the suspects witnessed or information that could shed light on what happened. These Clues will be revealed to you at three different moments in the game and each of you will have access to only some of them, while the app guides you and provide additional, public clues. You will have to reflect and collaborate, sharing the information in your possession without compromising yourself too much; whether you are guilty or innocent, each of you has secrets that you will try to keep hidden from others. At the end of the time available to you, you will have to give the solution. Unfortunately, among you there could be also the murderer who will do anything to divert the investigation and get away clean. Will you discover the real culprit or will you let an innocent be wrongfully accused? The first series of cases is the work of the well-known Italian writer Maurizio De Giovanni, whose novels, translated into many languages, have also become successful television series.
