It is the year 1400 and you are Abelard Lavel, a knight living in Paris. Since you were a child, strange prophetic dreams of past and future crimes have haunted you. You managed to put your power to good use, solving mysteries that nobody else could. Now thanks to your growing reputation, the people of Paris seek your help. Will you come to their aid?
Chronicles of Crime: 1400 is a stand-alone, cooperative game of crime investigation. Using Scan & Play technology to mix digital and board games, it allows for many crime investigation stories to be told with the same components. Interrogate the suspects, collect evidence, and find the culprit before you run out of time!
Chronicles of Crime – The Millennium Series features three standalone Chronicles of Crime games which utilize the same great Chronicles of Crime system, but provide interesting gameplay twists and refreshing settings, that span an entire millennium from 1400 to 1900 and finally 2400. Players will be able to experience Paris like never before as they solve cases across three distinct time periods.
Important: This game requires an app to play, but once downloaded no Internet connection is needed to play. You currently need Android 5.x or newer, or iOS 11.0 or newer to run the app.
Take on the role of Abelard Lavel who, blessed with prophetic visions, has taken it upon himself to root out evil in the city of Paris. At the start of each new case, you’ll be presented with glimpses of visions that Abelard has seen. Features seen in these visions might be familiar, however, they could also be completely unknown, or even, have not yet taken place!
It’ll be down to you to make the connections between the visions and reality and put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Our protagonist will be left without the benefits of modern technology and crime scene investigation tools, but that doesn’t mean he won’t have some tricks up his sleeve. Abelard’s furry companion Perceval can track down the owners of items and perhaps sniff out some lies from suspects who aren’t being honest about their whereabouts.
At home, Abelard’s family are also able to support him on cases. His sister, a merchant, knows something about almost any object found in Paris, his uncle, a monk, has a wealth of knowledge about written texts, and his brother, a king’s spy, can often find information on the people Abelard is investigating.
The characters and the story form the most important and compelling part of any Chronicles of Crime case. You will meet a huge variety of characters from professors to market vendors, the nobility to the peasantry, and it will be down to you to decide who is worth your time investigating and who is going to waste your time with their personal issues.
Surrounding each case is a vivid world depicted not only in beautiful locations but also in virtual reality crime scenes. You will use the Chronicles of Crime app to inspect all the details of each crime scene and you’ll have to cooperate to pick out the important evidence quickly.
So are you ready to face the challenge of tracking down the criminals and wrongdoers of medieval Paris? The city awaits!

The most fantastic game. Here’s hoping there’s a community editor for it soon. I’m on the last case and I’m not ready to let go of such a textured and beautifully compelling world. Well done, Lucky Duck Games.

Excellent detective game with little rules overhead
Very easy to play with a very clear app driven tutorial. Not recommended if you don’t want to use an app to play a game but if that’s not a deal breaker, its very well done and user friendly.

Great game
I really enjoy this game, I think it might even be my favorite series. Already the box with a simple, but cool safety system shows you how full of ideas and well done the game is. The stories are also prepared with great care, are logical and fun to solve. Few changes compared to the first version make it interestingly different even though it still continues the same cool idea. Great job!

Fun Game
Good game to play with significant other. Low replayability but easy to pay it forward and give out to friends when you are done. We hope someday they make a fantasy-inspired expansion.

A lot of time scanning
The stories are good enough to be interesting. The mechanism seems flexible enough that hopefully more stories get added. But boy is there a lot of scanning to do! Make sure you have a large playing surface and an easy way to handle the phone and scan things.

Good if you like story games
Personally I found this game boring but my husband and friends like it. It’s very much a story based game. So if you don’t like listening to characters tell endless stories you might not like it. Also I feel like it doesn’t have the best replay value. There is only like 5 crimes to solve and you will probably need to go through them several times to get everything right. But eventually you won’t be able to keep playing it because you know all of the answers.On a positive note it is something different and it’s very creative. It seems like the game was well thought out it’s just not for me.Please click helpful if you found this review helpful.

Great game but no replayability
This is a great game but only expect to play it 4 times because once you have done a scenario you probably won’t play it again since you know the storyline. I was hoping for more replayability which is why it doesn’t get 5 stars.

Missing a card, check all yours before you can’t return it…
Was missing a card. Didn’t end up playing it until after the return period so now I don’t know what to do, it’s a main card you need to play.
