Description
The Witching Hour: A Puzzletale whisks you into a spooky midnight adventure where you and your friends (or just you, if you’re feeling brave) become sleuths in a haunted realm. Designed by Rebecca Channon, the game drops you into a murder‑mystery that reads like a choose‑your‑own‑story novel, but the twist is you solve it with puzzles and deduction instead of dice. Rules are so simple you can get the party started in minutes, yet the story unfurls over a marathon‑length 300‑minute session that lets you really sink your teeth into the plot. Whether you field a crew of 99 players or go it solo, you’ll be swapping clues, piecing together riddles, and narrating eerie twists together. It’s a cooperative, storytelling‑heavy experience that feels part fantasy adventure, part brain‑teaser, and all fun. Perfect for puzzle lovers who want a creepy tale to unravel, night after night.
