echoes: The Microchip

Players cooperate to reconstruct a fragmented narrative about a fallen future civilization. Using a free app, they scan physical components to play short audio “echoes” and listen for clues in voices, sounds and background noise. The goal is to assemble 24 story fragments into six chapters by selecting which three object cards belong to each chapter and ordering them correctly. The app gives feedback on wrong or misplaced cards, and correctly solved chapters unlock longer audio that can reveal new hints. Physical boards and cards also carry visual details that contribute to solving the mystery.
