Projekt Q: Vanvid is a cooperative game for 1-5 players based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's crime thriller series about Department Q. This board game tells a rich story as players control the familiar investigators Carl M rck, Assad, Rose, and Gordon through a week of investigation. M rck and Department Q delve into a dark chapter of Copenhagen's history in order to find a psychiatrist reported missing in a snowy March night. It is not necessary to have read the books, and the game contains no spoilers for the plot of earlier or later books. Projekt Q: Vanvid is the first game in a planned series of games. In this series, participants collaborate to solve a cold case. The story begins on Monday morning and concludes no later than Saturday evening. Can you solve the mystery before time runs out? —description from the designer
