About the game
Crime Zoom is a series of investigation game for 1 and more players and for plays of about 1 hour. In Crime Zoom, you will conduct your investigation freely. Discuss between players to choose the tracks to follow. And as soon as you think you have solved the case, go to the questionnaire. Who is guilty? What is his motive? What is the murder weapon? And some subsidiary questions, of course. The solution will answer each of the questions. The epilogue will come to tell all this in a story or a testimony history to understand the plot that has been played. Crime Zoom: A Dirty Objective is a demo case of the Crime Zoom family (in only 38 cards). It brings you in Brooklyn in 1980. —description from the publisher
