From Portal:

Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game is a fully co-operative, immersive, detective experience. This is a game of wits and deduction, a full game night experience – a single game session can last up to 3 or more hours. It is also rules-light, meaning, that the most powerful tool at your disposal is your team, your imagination, and your own mind.

Detective-Game-Content-small In this challenging, story-driven game for 1-5 players, you will play as group of Antares National Investigation Agency members. You are going to tackle five different cases and solve them in order. Each of them affecting the next. Together they will form a campaign that will put your skills to the test.

Detective is a campaign game. The five cases in the box are connected by one overall narrative thread. Each case is comprised of a dedicated deck of 36 cards: 1 cover card and 35 “lead” cards. Once you draw a lead card, you can refer to it at any time during the campaign. Detective is not a “choose your own adventure” game. There is no final paragraph that says you won and sums up the entire story; no single card that makes everything click. All the information is scattered among many different cards. You must connect the dots to build up theories and find answers to your final questions.
