United StatesThis application is a digital companion for the Chronicles of Crime board game. Using the same set of physical components (a board and cards representing locations, characters, and items), the Chronicles of Crime app lets you and your friends step into a world of mystery and play out your investigations. Launch the app, select the scenario you want to play, and reveal a story built from your choices as you pursue your goal: uncover the clues behind the crime, chase the evidence, and find the killer as quickly as possible. Using the game’s Scan&Play technology, each physical component has a unique QR code which can unlock different clues and events--if the players are paying close enough attention. Additional original scenarios will be available after the release of the physical game via app updates, with no new or additional physical components required. The game’s VR experience requires only a mobile phone: Players put the VR glasses provided onto their mobile device, then raise them in front of their eyes to immerse themselves in the game's universe and search for clues in a virtual world. Each game session should last 60 to 90 minutes, and players will find some scenarios connected to others, revealing a larger mystery to be solved...

United StatesPolish Version
Hello, I love your game, it’s great to play with a group of friends or family. I think I like Millennium series better than original version, however expansion pack Noir is just lovely, and I think this part is my absolute favourite. So I have a question, because I play this game in Polish language not English, do you know when or if expansion pack Welcome to Redview will be available in Polish language?
United Statesfun games, but
1900 and 1400 are pretty fun and i have enjoyed figuring out the crimes. but 2400 is abhorrent with only 2 scenarios and complete with spelling errors and grammar errors. i think that 2400 has a lot of potential but when i bought it and wanted to play, i felt like i had been scammed.
United States4 stars for the game, 3.5 for the app
I’ll admit that at first I was conflicted by this game. I purchased what I thought was a board game. But is it really a board game with an app element or is it a video game with some paper peripherals? I’m still inclined to see it as more of a video game, similar to a toys-to-life game (Skylanders). It reminds me of Murder Mystery Machine which you can find on Apple Arcade, but I’m sure you can think of many other mystery cop procedural games to compare it to. You investigate scenes, scan cards, read dialogue, and ultimately find answers to questions using your reasoning. Although the cards are attached to a board resembling a cork board, it helps to keep your own notebook handy. It is supposed to take 1.5 hours to play but we usually take 3 sometimes 4 hours. Smartly, like most video games, you can exit and save your progress and continue later. The preceding was all disclaimer. I rate the game highly in terms of fun. We played it for hours nonstop. My criticism of Murder Mystery Machine was that they didn’t shell out money for voice actors. On the contrary, I’m actually glad Chronicles of Crime didn’t do that here. Reading the text goes part of the way to reminding us that this is supposed to be a social game played in a room with your friends and NOT a video game. Play the parts yourself! Because the game also supports community-written scenarios, in future not having voice acting will prevent the custom scenarios from feeling inferior by their lack of audio recordings, although I do ask that the developers check their scenarios for typos regularly or have a “report” button for players when they see one. As far as the game goes, I really wouldn’t change a thing. The app? At least it’s bug-free as of April 2021. It’s missing some key features in my opinion. 1) Crucial. Landscape mode. I have a large ipad Pro with a magic keyboard stand. It opens up much like a laptop. This app only operates in portrait mode. It’s cumbersome to say the least. 2)Annoying. Cards don’t always scan. Sometimes you have to hold them upside down. This might take a minute. Couldn’t I just tap to slide out a dialer, punch in the card number printed on the card and press the button for star/magnifying glass/person/location? It’s a very old-school “cop” thing to do. 3) Would greatly improve actual play experience. I know you’re very proud of the VR thing. I own a VR phone viewer. I would like to use it, but not at the expense of having to rely one player’s smartphone for the duration of the game. This game is awesome using an iPad. The only part that isn’t better on a tablet is the crime scene investigation. Couldn’t another player open up the same game in progress on their phone and use the viewer while the rest of the game runs on the iPad? This would also ensure that no one else can “peek” while the player has the headset on. Then we could all return to the playing the game on the large iPad or laptop. This would be a simple matter of two devices with the app connecting via bluetooth. The larger device would simply tell the smaller device to open up Crime Scene ## in viewer mode. 4) Wishful Thinking. There’s got to be a better way to create a notebook. Perhaps an app one could use with a template notebook in PDF that can be written on with an Apple Pencil. Or maybe one could photograph the card layout and annotate them virtually in a bubble map and link cards together with virtual colored “string”, label rows and link according to location, create suspect data sheets. Let’s replace paper in just this one instance. Yes, this means going all in on the virtual stuff, I know, but I own two iPads, everyone here has a smart phone, and we have a cheap VR viewer headset. Let’s use them all in the service of one game! That would actually be cool. We’d feel like Noir detective from the future. Thank for all the fun!
United StatesCamera doesn’t work in app?
Can’t seem to get the camera to work on iOS 14.4.2, not even an option to allow camera access in settings. Had to use an old phone to play this brand new game 😑 After playing on an old phone, it was a blast though. Am I doing something wrong?
