Enter the shadowy, psychological depths of a gripping mystery in the middle chapter of a thrilling trilogy where detective work, immersive evidence, and chilling crime scenes uncover the darkest secrets of the human mind.
Leopold - Part 2 of 3: White Sleep (published by Hidden Games / Kosmos) is a story-driven mystery experience that places players directly in the shoes of lead investigators solving a complex cold case. Moving away from traditional board movement, dice rolling, or linear card decks, this game relies on realistic document analysis, audio recordings, digital investigation, and cooperative deduction. The primary gameplay objective centers on uncovering the truth: players examine a rich assortment of physical evidence—including police files, autopsy reports, suspect interviews, hand-written notes, and secret online leads—to crack the central case of "White Sleep."
The primary mechanical hurdle revolves around making sense of non-linear information and identifying subtle contradictions across disparate pieces of evidence. As the second entry in the Leopold trilogy, this standalone narrative chapter escalates the tension, testing players' attention to detail, spatial-temporal timeline assembly, and logical connection skills. Designed for 1 to 6 investigators aged 14 and up, an investigation typically spans an engaging 90 to 120 minutes. To identify the perpetrator, players must work together to connect physical clues to digital evidence, cross-reference alibis, and answer key investigative questions before filing their final police report.
