Безмолвный свидетель (Silent Witness) (2022)

About this game

Безмолвный свидетель ("Silent Witness") is a new generation detective game that combines classic board game components and modern technologies. The main tool of the game is a conversation, and then the voice assistant "Alice" (Yandex voice assistant) and any device where she lives will come to your aid. Texts voiced by professional announcers are waiting for you, with special effects (from opening doors and creaking stairs to parrot screams), but the most important and interesting thing is the reverse dialogue: after discussing the evidence, you tell "Alice" what to do, who to talk to, where to go.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 15. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
