Dune: House Secrets

Dune: House Secrets is an immersive adventure game that transports one to five players to the fascinating and treacherous world of Arrakis. With a cooperative game system inspired by the award-winning Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game, participants take on the role of rebels in a constant struggle against ruthless adversaries and intriguing challenges. Players immerse themselves in a rich narrative, where they must complete a series of missions within limited deadlines and resources. Exploring different regions of the desert, searching for essential clues and collaborating with allies are crucial to progressing through the story. The game combines physical and digital components, using cards that offer impactful revelations and a dedicated website that enriches the experience with additional resources. Throughout the matches, an introductory prologue guides players through the dynamics of the game and the vast universe of Dune. Three main adventures then await, each designed to provide two to three hours of gameplay. Players have the opportunity to earn experience points, allowing their characters to evolve between missions and opening up new possibilities in future playthroughs. Each episode can be played independently, but by completing them, players unlock an overarching narrative that culminates in an epic conclusion, leaving a legacy in the trilogy's sequels.
