Some strange things have started to happen in the small town of Redview. For weeks now, animals have been disappearing. When Wookie, Sheriff’s dog, disappears as well, 6 friends get together to try to find him.
Welcome to Redview is family friendly. No murders, but instead strange things are happening in a small town in Maine, USA, in the 80s. Since you play the role of kids, there are no scientific contacts you can call to help you. Instead, you will need to use your strength, agility and wit to get to your objectives!
Feature 4 new scenarios. Contents include:
10 location cards
15 special item cards
25 character cards
6 player board
1 die
1 rulebook
This Expansion requires the base game (London) to be played. It also requires an app to work (it’s impossible to play without it), but once downloaded no Internet connexion is needed to play. You currently need Android 4.4 or newer, or iOS 8.0 or newer to run the app, which may change in the future.

"Stranger Things" fans will recognize a few similarities. Four great scenarios which combined tell a whole story. There is a new mechanism introduced in this game: power bars and dice rolls in order to manage several skills. And you play kids ... so don't wonder when you have to be at home earlier than you want!

Overall this expansion is not as much fun as the base. Too many bugs in the app that you have to go back to replay from start (almost every case has a bug) to resolve the bug making It a very frustrating experience. The cases are not as straightforward, but at the same time u feels like you just trial and error instead of logically deducing a possible solution. Worst of all is the story tells you what really happened at the end, of which you couldn’t have gotten it from solving the case, feels like they just try to explain everything to wrap it up outside of the game play. Base - 9 - for it simple yet visually appealing approach Redview - 6 for the horrible app and the attempt to make it more challenging but failed

The core gameplay is really strong, and the theme is nice, but the dice rolling is just stupid, boring and extremely annoying and frustrating. It doesn't belong in a deduction game like this imo.
