Description
Here Lies: Volume II drops you and up to four friends into a frantic murder‑mystery where everyone’s both detective and suspect. In just a few minutes you’ll learn the rules—then the chaos begins: you’ll act out clues, draw cryptic sketches, spell out secret words, and toss rapid‑fire questions at each other, all while juggling your own hidden powers and a hand of evidence cards. The game’s a perfect mix of goofy acting, sly deduction, and memory challenges, so you’ll be laughing, guessing, and shouting “I knew it!” before the timer runs out. With playtimes that hover around half an hour, it’s quick enough for a game night binge but deep enough to keep each round fresh. Designed by Jasper Beatrix, Jakob Maier, and Bobby West, this cooperative, story‑driven whodunit is all about teamwork, clever bluffing, and the joy of solving a mystery together—no massive rulebook required.
