Where Did You Go?! – Six Great Board Games With Hidden Movement

Mind MGMT

Mind MGMT is a game of psychic espionage and super spies. One player controls MIND MGMT and scours the city for new recruits. This player moves around on a secret map, trying to visit the various locations for intel while keeping their own location a secret. Meanwhile, the rest of the players act as rogue agents, working to take down MIND MGMT before it’s too late. They send each other secret, telepathic messages (via dry-erase) to share information and attempt to keep a step ahead of their pursuer.

Whitehall Mystery

Whitehall Mystery is an asymmetrical mystery game where one player is Jack the Ripper, and the remaining players are Scotland Yard. Jack is skulking about town, trying to do what he does best.

At the same time, the other investigators are balancing risk versus reward and piecing together clues to track Jack before the night is through. With only about an hour of playtime, Whitehall Mystery keeps the excitement going without dragging out the tension too long.

City of the Great Machine

What if an AI steampunk machine controlled an entire city, then went completely haywire in its attempt to perfect humanity? Would you be able to survive long enough to stop this mechanical monstrosity? Or better yet, what if you were this mechanical monstrosity? Humans are, after all, pretty terrible. Maybe they do need to be fixed.

A lot of hidden movement board games feature one person hiding from multiple others. Not so here. The human players must sneak around to different parts of the city under the watchful gaze of the Machine. They will incite riots, sow discontent, and attempt to bring about revolution. Who will win?!

Sniper Elite

A tense one-versus-everyone game, Sniper Elite has one player playing a sniper while the rest of the players work together to hunt them down. But the sniper doesn’t have to just keep to the shadows – if someone gets too close, the hunter may become the hunted. Games are fast-paced and action-packed, and stay exciting for everyone until the last move.

War of the Ring

War of the Ring has players step into the world of The Lord of the Rings and join in on the fight for Middle-earth. Players command the various groups of people working to defend the world from Sauron. But a shadow player secretly controls the hordes of Sauron’s minions. Who will win and what will the fate of Middle Earth be?

Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space

In Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space, players take on the role of either a human or an alien in a badly-damaged medical-research space ship. Humans are trying to make it to the escape hatches and survive. But the aliens are working to hunt down the humans. But of course, the aliens are doing their best to fit in and humans will have to work extra hard to study everyone’s movements and behaviors. Trusting the wrong “person” could cost you anything.
