This year, Russian-speaking fans of brain teasers and jigsaw puzzles will be able to get their hands on the deductive tabletop game "Hidden," suitable both for solo sessions and cooperative get-togethers.
Publisher 4Games (4ies) announced that pre-orders have opened for the deductive tabletop game "Hidden" (Behind). It is currently available for 1,744 rubles. Every participant in the pre-order will receive a demo version of the board game in a compact travel package as a gift.
The box includes three scenarios with unique mechanics: "Theft" — a detective story connected to a museum, "Professor" — a scientific mystery featuring a mysterious device, and "Imhotep" — a mystical puzzle combining antiquity and space.
The player must first take out the clues and tokens without turning them over to the other side. Then they will try to reconstruct the illustration using only the front side: it is necessary to analyze the information and connect the tokens correctly.
If the gamer gets stuck and does not know how to proceed, they can use hints. These should be revealed in order, and if the information received is sufficient, they can return to assembling the image.
When a rectangle has been assembled from the tokens, they need to be turned over. It should form a complete picture. If the image is disrupted, then the player made a mistake while solving the puzzle.
The tabletop game "Hidden," which received the As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année Initié 2025 award, is expected to arrive at the warehouse in the fourth quarter of 2026.
