How to play Cryptid

Cryptid is a deduction game for 3 to 5 players that takes 30 to 50 minutes. On each turn, players ask limited questions and place clues on a modular hex map to narrow down the one possible location of a hidden creature. It feels tense and analytical, and suits groups who enjoy reading partial information and spotting patterns.
