Description

Doctor Esker's Notebook is a mysterious and intriguing game that's all about cracking cryptic codes and solving puzzles. The game's story begins with the disappearance of Doctor Esker, who has left behind a notebook filled with puzzles written in his own hand. It's up to you, either solo or with a group of friends and family, to take on the challenge of solving these devious puzzles. With a playtime of 60 to 180 minutes, you can enjoy this game on a lazy afternoon or as the main event at a game night, and it's suitable for 1 to 6 players. The game is easy to learn, but that doesn't mean it's easy to win. You'll need to use all your deduction skills to read, compare, arrange, and ponder the messages, drawings, and artwork on the cards. Each puzzle is composed of a set of cards, and solving it reveals a sequence of numbers. If you think you've got it, gather the solution cards and flip them to see if you've solved the puzzle. With 73 cards and nine puzzles to solve, you'll need to persevere to the end to receive Doctor Esker's greatest praise. As a cooperative game, you can work together with your friends and family to solve the puzzles, making it a great game for a party or game night.
