When you and your friends decided to spend the night in a mysterious old hotel, you had no inkling of the horrors that lay hidden in its shadowed halls. The gruesome murders that took place years ago were terrifying enough, but the true nightmare stems from the cause of those grisly events—malevolent, animated puppets. By sheer accident, you discovered the ancient trunk that had served as their prison for decades. Curiosity got the better of you, and with one fateful decision, the trunk was opened. Now, the puppets are free, and they are intent on completing their deceased master’s sinister work—bringing his soul back to life. To do so, they need a few crucial items… and one unlucky victim to act as the perfect body donor.
Puppet Master: Return to Bodega Bay Inn is a chilling cooperative survival game for one to four players, blending cat-and-mouse tension with strategic gameplay. The game thrives on the use of Hand Management and Deck Hunting mechanics, offering a nail-biting experience as players navigate the oppressive confines of the hotel. Its modular game board ensures each playthrough is unique, as players piece together a new version of the Bodega Bay Inn with every game. This variety keeps the suspense fresh and unpredictable.
Each puppet is brought to life with its own unsettling personality, enhanced by the dynamic “Puppet Behavior Dial,” which constantly shifts their strategies to keep players on edge. Survival demands more than luck—it requires resourcefulness and cunning. Locking a door at just the right moment or holding onto the perfect card could be the difference between escape and doom. However, time is not on your side. Your deck of options dwindles quickly as the puppets close in, forcing you to race against the clock to gather the vital clues needed to thwart their agenda. Puppet Master: Return to Bodega Bay Inn captures the eerie thrill of a horror movie, plunging players into a relentless battle of wits and survival against unstoppable foes.
