echoes: The Cursed Ring

Players cooperate to uncover the origin of a sinister heirloom by listening for audio clues and assembling a fractured narrative. Using a free app, each physical object (boards and cards) is scanned to play an associated “echo” — short sound bites containing voices, noises and hints. Players discuss the echoes to identify which three cards form each chapter and in what order, then place the objects accordingly. The app verifies placements, pointing out incorrect or misplaced cards; correct solutions unlock the full chapter audio and additional clues. Physical components also carry visual hints, so teams must combine careful observation with attentive listening to reconstruct all six chapters.
