About the game

What is Point of View: Lost Places?

Point of View: Lost Places features four large folding maps that show a scene with hidden objects in a 3D style — but each map shows this scene from a different perspective, and each player (or pair of players) sees only one map at a time. As a result, no one has a complete overview of what's in the scene, so you'll need to pool your information together, which means that communication is key. The game includes 4x40 puzzle cards that challenge you with a wide variety of tasks. What do the others see that you don't see yourself? To solve the puzzles, you have to talk to each other intensively, both about what you see and about what you don't see. Over four chapters, you'll immerse yourself in exciting adventures and face new challenges time and again. In addition to teamwork, abstract thinking and smart combinations are required, with each chapter taking roughly two hours to solve in full.
