Hidden Games Tatort: Königsmord is a board game released in 2021 for 1–6 players, 90–180 minutes per game, and ages 16 and up. Its main mechanics are Deduction, Storytelling, and Cooperative Game.
An idyllic celebration ends with a death. Do the perpetrators come from their own family? The "König" family is celebrating a festival at their country estate again this year. But this time everything turns out differently. Casper König, the patriarch of the family, disappears without a trace shortly beforehand and his son Egon is found dead the morning after the feast. The family eye each other suspiciously - everyone is a suspect! What happened at Gut König? The "Königsmord" case is perfect for beginners to crime games. The case is altogether more structured than the others and "Inspector Hahnke" guides you through the case to its successful conclusion. We guarantee: anyone (16 years and older) can solve this case. As a team, you will need to analyse letters and interpret the police interviews of various suspects. Your approach to finding a solution is guaranteed to be multidimensional. Collect all the information on various information sheets, discuss the alibis and motives. For your research during the investigation, you will need internet access. It is also helpful (but not absolutely necessary) if you have a laptop or tablet at hand. Mobile phones are also allowed!
