Hunt A Killer: Body on the Boardwalk is a board game released in 2021 for 1–6 players, 30–180 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by K.C. Chaney and its main mechanics are Deduction, Paper-and-Pencil, and Storytelling.
When Katie Dunn, an employee at a seaside amusement park, turns up dead inside a popular ride, her boyfriend quickly becomes the prime suspect. The suspect’s mother reaches out to you in hopes of clearing his name, but even she has to admit that the evidence against her son looks bad. Could someone else have had a score to settle with the victim, or is the boyfriend as guilty as he looks? Behind the boardwalk’s picturesque facade lies a criminal underworld where everyone’s got something to hide. To figure out who killed Katie, you must reconstruct her path along the boardwalk on the day she died, and work out what secret she discovered that ultimately led to her death. Uncovering the crimes perpetrated by the other boardwalk employees will lead you to the identity of Katie’s true killer. Difficulty: 2/5 - Medium
