Do you remember the days when you were playing hide-and-seek? Have you ever wondered why you stopped? Was it simply because you grew up? Let us take you back to those simpler times… with a serious twist.
In Red Notice, you can either play as Angela Farbank, a master forger, or Jessah Hope, a determined FBI agent. It may share the DNA of a childhood game, but the stakes here are much higher.
Over successive rounds, you compete to reach your personal objective first. As Angela, you must travel the world and cash forged checks for a total value of $1,000,000 or more. And as Jessah, your job is to track down Angela, burn her false identities, and put her behind bars for good. As the Agent, your goal is to capture the Forger 3 times: the first two captures serve to burn her fake identities, and the final arrest secures your victory.
Every round, you place secret tokens to plan your move, such as flying to a new continent or setting up police radars and road barriers. Angela must bluff about her path to avoid traps, while Jessah uses logic and security tools to narrow down the search area. It is a game of hidden movement and deduction where you must outsmart your opponent by guessing their next move.
Red Notice is tense, funny, and puts a serious twist on a childhood favorite. Will you disappear with your “well-earned money” or will you be the one to close the case?

We would like to thank Gautier de Cottreau and Baptiste Laurent, the game designers, as well as the crew at Catch Up Games for letting us add their game to the platform. A tip of the hat to Moof for the BGA port.
This is your Monday release.
If you’re thinking of writing a book about a master forger, it probably won’t be an original story. Take care and play fair…
