Description

Step into the shadowy halls of the old sanatorium, where every creak of floorboards and whisper of wind could be a clue—or a trap. Crime Places: Das Sanatorium drops you and up to three friends (or a brave solo investigator) into a chilling, atmospheric adventure that feels like a live‑action thriller you can actually finish. Designed by Joel Müseler and Hans Pieper in 2025, the game blends horror, mystery, and a dash of dark humor into a cooperative deduction experience that’s as gripping as it is accessible. The rules are so quick to pick up you’ll be swapping stories about the creepy patient files in minutes, but the mystery itself unravels over a satisfying 2‑to‑3‑hour stretch, giving you plenty of time to feel the tension rise with each new revelation. Your team will be hunting for a hidden murderer among the abandoned wards, piecing together fragmented evidence, and making gut‑wrenching decisions that could save—or doom—your companions. The mechanics are simple enough that you can jump right into the action, yet the layers of deduction keep even the sharpest sleuths guessing until the very end. Whether you’re a seasoned detective or a first‑timer, the game’s blend of adventure and horror makes every turn feel like a pulse‑pounding scene from a classic thriller. Grab a flashlight, gather your crew, and see if you can outsmart the darkness before it outsmarts you—because in Das Sanatorium, the only thing scarier than the ghosts is the truth you’re about to uncover.
