In JAWS, one player takes on the role of the killer shark off Amity Island, while the other 1-3 players take on the roles of Brody, Hooper and Quint to hunt the shark. Character and event cards define player abilities and create game actions for humans and the shark. Gameplay is divided into two acts — Amity Island and The Orca — played on a double-sided board to replicate the film's story: In the Amity Island phase, the shark menaces swimmers and avoids capture. Other players attempt to pinpoint the shark's location and save swimmers from shark attacks. In the Orca phase, played on the reverse side of the game board, Brody, Hooper and Quint are aboard the sinking ship engaging in a climactic battle against the shark, while using additional action and strategy cards to defend the Orca from targeted shark attacks. If humans kill the shark, they win; if the shark attack on the Orca succeeds, the great white shark wins.

Chronicles of Crime is a cooperative game of crime investigation, mixing an app, a board game and a touch of Virtual Reality. With the same physical components (board, locations, characters and items), players will be able to play plenty of different scenarios and solve as many different crime stories. Players start the app, choose the scenario they want to play, and follow the story. The goal being to catch the killer of the current case in the shortest time possible. Using the Scan&Play technology, each component (locations, characters, items, etc.) has a unique QR code, which, depending on the scenario selected, will activate and trigger different clues and stories. That means players will be able to get new stories way after the game is released simply by downloading the app's updates, without any shipping of new physical components involved. The VR experience only requires a mobile phone. Players simply put the VR glasses (optional buy) onto their mobile device, and put the VR glasses on their nose, holding their mobile device in front of their eyes, to immerse themselves in the game's universe and search for clues in a virtual world. The game comes with 1 tutorial and 5 scenarios, but more can be downloaded directly inside the app!Each session last around 1h to 1h30 minutes and many scenarios are connected to each others in order to tell a much bigger story. —description from the publisher

In Don't Make a Sound, it was a quiet day in a barren one horse town when gravity pod landed near a sheep farm on the outskirts of town. Gravity pod is just my name for what it was, since it was entirely alien. The pod contained a ravenous being born and bred by a higher intelligence for one purpose: to clear a planet of current life so that it could be terraformed. Devoid of eyes, The Eyeless uses heightened sensory faculties to seek and destroy anything and everything that makes noise. Welcome to Utopia! Jokingly called "nowhere" by the rest of the state's residents, Utopia is a desert town where the people are outnumbered by... well just about anything else you can think of. Little do the residents know, but they are about to be set upon by a brood of giant sand snakes, each as large as a tractor trailer, that were nested just below the town almost a million years before. The million year molting period. Requires Final Girl Core Box to play. - description by the publisher
