What to Expect
You and your teammates analyze a layout of tiles, assemble them into a coherent scene and then flip them to reveal the final image. Each scene offers six clue cards that must be revealed in numeric order and help validate your reconstruction. The box contains three distinct scenes: La Machine Infernale, Le Repas and Le Cahier, each with different illustrations.
Who Is This Game For?
Suitable for players aged 10+, this is a puzzle-focused game for deduction fans rather than quick casual play. With an expected playtime of about 90 minutes it fits best into longer game sessions and appeals to players who enjoy cooperative pattern puzzles.
How It Works
The game mixes Cooperative Game, Deduction and Pattern Recognition: players observe an array of tiles, logically arrange them into the scene and progressively reveal six clue cards in the prescribed order. After assembly you flip tiles to check the final picture and use all available clues to confirm your solution. Success depends on shared observations and stepwise clue usage.
