SOME INVITED GUESTS TO THE DINNER

THE GAME

NUITS ROUGES is an immersive crime investigation game that combines scannable game cards (AR markers), character cards and physical documents inside envelopes together with a free compagnon app. 

Once cards are placed in the room, move while playing to live the Nuits Rouges experience.

No wifi is required during gameplay, except for downloading the app before starting the game. 

Players will use one phone per player. Once the game is launched, player(s) choose an investigator profile and will have access to different levels of clues depending on their role.

Game system = Without real communication, no connection between players. 

To be played anywhere across multiple devices simultaneously without internet connection, the game system is based on a collaborative mechanic between players known as asynchronous. Communication between players throughout the investigation is key: phones won’t do the thinking & sharing for you!

YOUR HOME BECOMES A CRIME SCENE

Thanks to image recognition technology game cards become augmented reality (AR) markers displaying dynamic 3D objects on your device. On walls, tables or on the floor you have to set up markers cards before starting to scan in 360. 

Position of each marker cards are written on them for example: "Place on a wall at 150cm height" "Place on a table or piece of furniture”. 

-->  Repositional tape is included to hang cards on walls. 

The game is designed to be played at home, with friends or family. The reference living space is a two-room apartment, so that the game can fit into as many homes as possible. This also has the advantage of providing at least two separate play areas.

SETUP IS DONE. IMMERSION BEGINS.

Each marker is a unique 3D object that "could be in the room". Once scanned, objects appear in 3D over your device camera, letting players evolve in movement around the scene.

Markers can be interactive or just informative. Each player can see the same things on markers, but might not have the same interaction level based on their chosen profile.

Every detail matters. Analyze documents. Examine evidence. Interrogate suspects.
