THE GAME INTELLIGENCE PRESENTS

20X

AN UNFINISHED INVESTIGATION

A mystery waiting to be solved. Step into the journey, uncover the clues, and take the lead.

Educational Game Set
The 20X box on a writing desk beside a wax-sealed envelope marked DO NOT OPEN, a police confidential case file, and a book titled Ancestor of Chess, with a display case above showing life-size replicas of the Shahr-i Sokhta game and the Royal Game of Ur.

Move your cursor over the desk to examine the evidence closer.

All components are included in your box except the book.

CASE FILE — RESEARCH PROJECT 20X

20X is an unfinished piece of research, a study into some of the oldest board games ever played, abandoned mid-way by the person who started it. Solving it is now down to you.

Open the box and the case begins. Inside sits a research report, a handful of physical clues, and a sealed envelope. Ancient artwork lines every surface, so the atmosphere starts before you've read a word.

From there, the moves are yours: what you examine first, which threads you follow, and what conclusion you're willing to stand behind.

One rule: the investigation only works once. Once the envelope's open, it stays open.

Every set ships with two handmade, life-size replicas of two of history's most-played board games, built with the kind of detail that rewards a second look. That's also what makes the case replayable, the puzzle resets, the pieces don't.

Built for collectors, history-minded puzzlers, and anyone who'd rather form their own theory than be handed one. 20X hands you a thriller with no ending written yet, and asks you to write it.
