Description

MindMaze: Young Detectives is a party game that's all about solving mysteries through storytelling. Players take turns asking questions to try to figure out why and how a strange story happened, and it's up to them to determine the truth. The game is designed to be simple and easy to learn, with rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to a wide range of players - from 2 to 99. This means you can play with a small group of friends or a large party, and the game still promises to be a blast. In the game, a referee tells a tale, and then players ask "Yes" or "No" questions, with "Not Important" also being a possible answer, to try to get to the bottom of the mystery. The twist is that players lose points for each question they ask, but they can also earn points for asking key questions that help eliminate false versions of the story. This encourages players to think carefully and come up with analytical questions, rather than just asking random ones. With playtime ranging from 10 to 30 minutes, MindMaze: Young Detectives is a great game for a quick session of detective work and fun, and its simple rules make it easy to jump in and start playing right away.
