Description

Cryptid (n): a creature whose existence is disputed or unsubstantiated.

You've studied the footage, connected the dots, and gathered what meager evidence you could. You're close - soon the whole world will know the truth behind the cryptid, and you will be the envy of cryptozoologists everywhere.

In this unique deduction game of honest misdirection, players must try to uncover information about their opponent's clues while throwing them off the scent of their own. Each player holds one piece of evidence to help them find the creature, and will constantly try to eke out more information from their opponents. Guard your clues carefully and you might make the discovery of your life!

Optional digital companion available for faster setup.

Contents

  • 5 Clue Booklets
  • 6 Board Tiles
  • 54 Cards
  • 100+ Wooden Counters.
