CSI: Senses is a board game released in 2006 for 2–4 players and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Anthony Zuiker.
Based on the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation TV show. This game features multi-sensory player immersion components to test players' senses and illuminate the skills required to be a real life crime scene investigator. The Game Concept was developed by Anthony E. Zuiker, creator of the CSI shows. Zuiker also developed and wrote the six new story lines included in the game. Players test their abilities as crime scene investigators and challenge their senses and skills, including vision, hearing, memory, communication skills and IQ to collect evidence and solve the crime. Hands on game play and unique props for collecting evidence, including a mini-UV light, add to the sensory game play. The game is scheduled to be shown at Toy Fair Feb 12-15, 2006, and released sometime in the summer. SBG/b EQUAL formed in late 2005 as a result of the merger between Specialty Board Games, a leader in board games for teens and adults, and The b EQUAL Company, an innovator in interactive games for families and kids.
CSI: Senses supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists CSI: Senses for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
