Developer Description

Mystery stories to play in group with family or friends

ATTENTION!

THIS GAME IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH FRIENDS IN PERSON. IF YOU ARE ALONE YOU CANNOT PLAY!

Dark Stories is an easy to play and fun game but some of the stories are quite difficult. All the stories are fictional. To solve them, the players will need to prove their skills as detectives.

HOW TO PLAY
Dark Stories must be played in group. A person -chosen as narrator- picks a mystery and reads its description aloud.
Then he/she reads its solution without telling the other people. The rest of the players then have to make questions in order to solve the mystery.

The narrator can only answer the questions using "Yes", "No" or "It is not relevant". The only possible solution is the one given at the back of each mystery card. If the answer is still not clear enough, the players must follow the narrator's interpretation of the mystery.

EXAMPLE
A typical fragment of a gameplay could be:

Player1: "Did he die because of the shot?"
Narrator:"No"
Player2: "Was he poisoned?"
Narrator: "No"
Player3: "Did he have children?"
Narrator: "It's not relevant"
Player1: "Are there other people in the story?"
Narrator: "No"
Player2: "Did he commit suicide?"
Narrator: "Yes"
...

END OF THE GAME
When the narrator considers that the story has been solved enough, the narrator can conclude the game and read the whole solution.

It is up to the narrator to give some clues if the story is in a deadlock.

WHEN TO PLAY
It is perfect for birthday parties, camps... and every situation in which you join several friends.

STORIES
This free App includes more than 200 stories and we will add new stories periodically.

Erin Reviews

Went on a seven day camping trip with several board games in tow, but the group played this almost exclusively! Including during most of the 12 combined driving hours!! Very simple game process of the reader answering 'yes, no, or maybe' but it really gets your creative thinking flowing and no one in the room can resist the mystery, even 'I hate games' people, haha. Most of the stories had solid, interesting twists and made sense. Triggers: a few su!c!de or crime mysteries. Trust me & play it!

Definitely unique. If your friends are curious, chatty, and down for some silliness, this would be a great game to play with them. The UI is simple to grasp quickly. You get 3 free stories for every new combo you have to buy (so if you don't spend money to buy a new category you still have some free stories) However, I do agree that some stories were a little wack, which would be much better if the solution was written in a more logical way.

Most stories are pathetic. I suggest you, the users, come with an original mystery and try to play it differently if you want to (the game can easily be modified. Especially if the narrator has experience from roleplaying games. Edit: Upon playing a bit more i found some interesting stories that were fun to solve. But they were too few.

It would be better when i solve a story i get a key but you only get 3 keys, that's not nearly enough for all these stories and to open them all is quite expensive other than that the stories are great and they were fun but we couldn't continue the fun because we finished our keys
