Description:
In this project me and my project team had to design a new boardgame. It consists of 4 cabins, cluecards (detectives), train tickets (conductor), and 3D printed player pieces.

Concept:
Ticket Terror is a nerve-wrecking board game that keeps you awake at night. In this game you and your co-detectives are trying to solve the murder mystery at the crime-scene: an old locomotive. One of the players takes on the role of the train-conductor, who's trying to cover up his murder. Will the detectives find the truth before it's too late?

‘’Railroad murderer’’
reads the front page of the newspaper in the darkest ink one could find. It contains a brief report saying strange murders have been committed during train rides. The police have asked for a private investigation to prevent the shutdown of train traffic.
Multiple detectives have been asked to investigate the train cabins and uncover the details of the murders. The perpetrator is still undiscovered, but for you it’s clear as day. The murders only happen on train rides that take the same routes, and there is only one person that doesn’t switch shifts.
You’re absolutely sure. The culprit is the conductor of the train. However, you have no evidence. You stand up from your seat
and start the investigation. There is only one problem. If your gut feeling is right, the murderer should still be
…
on this train.
