Тайный Ритуал (Secret Ritual)

What to Expect

In Secret Ritual, players take on the roles of Detectives or the Ghost of a murder victim, trying to identify three true clues among categories Reason, Place, and Means. Communication is limited, and players must deduce the correct clues by analyzing hints revealed by the Ghost. In competitive mode, hidden Murderers add bluff and misinformation to mislead the investigation.

Who Is This Game For?

The game is suitable for players aged 8 and up who enjoy social deduction and bluffing games. It works well as a party or family game accommodating 2 to 12 players. No prior experience is required given its accessible rules and focus on communication and logic.

How It Works

Secret Ritual uses Hidden Roles and Deduction mechanics: one player is the Ghost who knows the true clues and communicates only through a mystical letterbox. Other players send clue cards secretly, some of which the Ghost reveals without category context. Through discussion and deduction, Detectives try to find the three true clues. In competitive play, Murderers use bluffing to disrupt the team.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Nikita Kuznetsov, Secret Ritual combines Hidden Roles, Deduction, and Communication Limits in a murder mystery setting. It supports cooperative and competitive modes with up to 12 players, offering a unique dynamic with limited communication and a Ghost role mediating clues.

Setting & Atmosphäre

The game centers on a mysterious murder investigation with a supernatural twist: the victim’s Ghost communicates with Detectives. This creates a crime story atmosphere with paranormal elements rather than a historical setting.

Tipp für Einsteiger

Focus on systematically analyzing clues and communicate openly without rushing to conclusions.
