Chronicles of Crime is a cooperative board game that combines elements of criminal investigation with an app and a touch of virtual reality. Players utilize the same physical components, including a game board, locations, characters, and items, to play numerous different scenarios and solve various crime stories. At the beginning of the game, players select a scenario in the app and follow the story, aiming to catch the perpetrator of the current case in the shortest possible time. The innovative Scan&Play technology allows each component to have a unique QR code that activates different clues and stories depending on the chosen scenario. This means that players can receive new stories even after the game is released by simply updating the app, without the need for new physical components to be shipped. The VR experience requires only a mobile phone and optional VR glasses to immerse oneself in the game world and search for clues. The game includes a tutorial and five scenarios, with additional ones available for direct download in the app. Each game session lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours, and many scenarios are interconnected to tell a larger story.

• Cooperative game blending board game and app integration
• Unique QR codes activate different clues and stories
• Expandable content through app updates without physical components
• Optional VR experience for an immersive gameplay
• Interconnected scenarios that allow for a broader narrative.
