About the game

Plan a route, choose cargo and read signals together. A facilitator follows fixed scoring rules while the team compares documents. Either a sporting or investigative conclusion can be a full success. A report may use cards and arrows; no acting or personal teasing is required. For 3–6 players, age 10–14, plus one required facilitator. Entirely offline. All game materials are in Polish; this English text describes the product. Intended play time of 70–95 minutes and preparation of 20–25 minutes after reading, excluding printing, are prototype estimates. Source review, logic simulations and digital PDF checks completed. Human playtests, physical printing and independent preparation remain pending.

What is included?

Three challenge boards, five character portraits, four cargo cards, two signal answer sheets, six documents, three scoring sheets, six question tokens, a report, hints, facilitator guide and three endings. Two complete print packages, colour and black and white, with 7 PDFs each, a print guide and font licences.
