Vivid Goliath is launching a board game based on the award-winning true crime podcast, Casefile.
The game – Casefile: Truth and Deception – challenges players to put their detective skills to the test to solve crimes around a quintessential small town. Players must piece together the evidence to find out where it happened, who did it, how, and why?
“The public is fascinated by true crime, and that fascination continues to grow, so to be launching the board game version of such a successful podcast as Casefile is hugely exciting,” said Ben Hogg, Marketing Manager at Vivid Goliath.
“We’ve seen an increase in demand for ‘true crime’ games in our wider portfolio with the successful launches of our Unsolved Case Files games. We’re looking forward to Casefile hitting the shelves this Autumn/Winter so that true crime fans can put their investigative skills to the test and become ‘real life’ detectives!”
