About the game

Disappearance in the Sky is the second game in the detective series “Historical Mystery”. London, 1934. A famous millionaire Alfred Loewanstein mysteriously disappears right from the flying plane! A year later his son finds his valet dead. Are these two accidents connected? What happened to Loewanstein after all? Dive into a journalistic investigation, which is based on the real historic events! Players prepare 13 decks without shuffling or flipping cards. Starting from the first card they begin to follow the instructions. As they read through the story, they will encounter icons with numbers of decks: new places and people they unlock. Players will have 24 Moves: chances to flip one of the available cards. They will either examine places or objects, or interrogate suspects. During the game it is important to pay close attention to the details and people’s expressions in the pictures – it will help you solve the crime! When players are out of the Moves, they need to scan the “Question” QR-Code and give answers to a series of questions concerning the case. Then they can check right answers and the whole story description. —description from the publisher
