You must be logged in to post a review.
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.

Too many bugs/inconsistencies to be fun. The instructions even remind you that you have to make judgment calls about who/what/where to investigate, because of time limitations (that's good). But by case 3, there was at least one main character we only discovered (after looking it up) that was discoverable by basically a random questioning of one character about another that seemed an unlikely connection at the time.

I really like Chronicles of Crime, but the murder cases are often dark and grisly. I loved Redview for providing an interesting mystery but without being bloody or grisly. Still not for kids, but very fun. There were many typos and some bugs in the app, which detracted a little from the enjoyment, but the rest of the game was good enough that these are forgivable. I hope they release more expansions like this. I loved playing a serious mystery game that was less focused on death. Case 1: + Case 2: ++ Case 3: ++ Case 4: +++

There is an attempt for a thread throughout the four scenarios that doesn't quite mesh as well as you would hope but the puzzles are pretty consistent with the base game.
