Night after night, a voice calling itself The DJ airs strange, rambling rants, and for the last three days, it's been the exact same broadcast on a loop. In Dead Air, you step into the shoes of a Will Street detective more used to tailing a cheating spouse or tracking down a stolen item than to a case like this one, but this time, the mystery goes far beyond business as usual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game drops you into a real physical investigation: every clue that comes out of the box, letters, newspaper clippings, an audio cassette, coded drawings, brings you a little closer to the truth. Once you crack a clue, you use a password-protected \u003cstrong\u003eQR code\u003c\/strong\u003e mechanic to unlock the next part of the story online, as if you were pulling up the case's confidential file. Playable solo or as a \u003cstrong\u003ecooperative mystery game\u003c\/strong\u003e with up to four detectives, Dead Air ends once the group has cracked the mystery of the broadcast and found out who is behind the DJ's voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDead Air is for you if you love \u003cstrong\u003eimmersive investigations\u003c\/strong\u003e where you handle real paper clues instead of solving everything on a screen, and you like the idea of mixing puzzles, close reading and a light digital layer to move the story forward. It's also a great pick for a night with friends or family who want a complete case that doesn't require chasing down expansions: the box plays start to finish on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDead Air was the Deadbolt Mystery Society's monthly mystery for August 2024, rated a 5 out of 10 difficulty by its own creators, making it an accessible entry point into the genre without being too easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the Deadbolt Mystery Society's official blog, the case and its companion activities were created by Adam Preston and Derek Harris, both writers and game designers for the publisher, a small team specialized in monthly mystery boxes to solve at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn internet connection, on a smartphone or computer, is needed to scan the QR codes and unlock the digital clues as the investigation unfolds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOX CONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning Brief\u003cbr\u003eCollector's Card\u003cbr\u003eSticker\u003cbr\u003eRead Me First Note\u003cbr\u003eCollage Letter Note\u003cbr\u003eNews Article with Map\u003cbr\u003eCrossword Puzzle\u003cbr\u003eTree-Shaped Air Freshener\u003cbr\u003eMissing Poster Jose Perez\u003cbr\u003eMissing Poster Barry Vance\u003cbr\u003eFour Tarot Cards (The Chariot, The Lovers, The Empress and The Hermit)\u003cbr\u003eWing It Chicken Sandwich Wrapper\u003cbr\u003eRadio\u003cbr\u003e6 Cards With Wiring\u003cbr\u003eShape Template\u003cbr\u003eYes\/No Coin\u003cbr\u003eMagnifying Glass\u003cbr\u003eWhere Do the Broadcasts Lead Note\u003cbr\u003eEnvelope - DO NOT OPEN UNTIL INSTRUCTED\u003cbr\u003eSymbols \u0026amp; Letter Paper\u003cbr\u003eCassette Tape \"Recording of Conversation\"\u003cbr\u003eRoman Numeral Sticky Note\u003cbr\u003eDoor Scan To Investigate Card\u003cbr\u003eSolution - DO NOT OPEN UNTIL INSTRUCTED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of players:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaying time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 to 180 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L'As des jeux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49312951959803,"sku":"210000054691","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5847\/1419\/files\/TemplatePre-joue_32.jpg?v=1789424488","url":"https:\/\/www.asdesjeux.com\/en\/products\/copy-of-blood-in-the-water-pre-joue-en","provider":"L'As des jeux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
