About the game
Исторический детектив: Ставки сделаны ("Historical Mystery: Bets are Made") is a third game in the detective series Historical Mystery. Chicago is the heyday of jazz and crime. A young promising boxer is suspected of the brutal murder of a famous singer. At first glance, this is a common thing for a city full of gangsters. Is everything here as simple as it seems? There is much more hiding in the dark alleys than it seems at first glance... Players prepare 16 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
