I really enjoy deduction games and this didn't disappoint, although you should definitely have a sheet for determining each person's rule. I really like how it can give a wonderful deduction experience without a need for an app and makes it interactive as well (as opposed to others that usually end up multiplayer-solitaire like Search for Planet X or Turing Machine). If you enjoy deduction this is a must to try.

You've studied the footage, connected the dots, and gathered what meagre evidence you could. You're close - soon the whole world will know the truth behind the Cryptid. A group of like-minded cryptozoologists have come together to finally uncover the elusive creature, but the glory of discovery is too rich to share. Without giving away some of what you know you will never succeed in locating the beast, but reveal too much and your name will be long forgotten! Cryptid is a unique deduction game of honest misdirection in which players must try to uncover information about their opponent's clues while throwing them off the scent of their own. Each player holds one piece of evidence to help them find the creature, and on their turn they can try to gain more information from their opponents. Be warned; give too much away and your opponents might beat you to the mysterious animal and claim the glory for themselves! The game includes a modular board, five clue books, and a deck of setup cards with hundreds of possible setups across two difficulty levels. It is also supported by an entirely optional digital companion, allowing for faster game setup and a near-infinite range of puzzles. —description from the publisher

Excellent •Tight loop •Variable board •Variable scenario •Mechanical Deduction •Silent game ~Scenario tome Clue type game. I would play this over Clue, anytime. Playable in quiet contemplation, as all actions and responses are indicated with tokens. The only downside to this game is the potential for the NESSESARY INDIVIDUAL PLAYER SCENARIO BOOK to be misplaced or damaged. Finite but massive set of scenarios. You technicaly only need to read your clue from it once per game, but might continuously double check. Odd they don't include a clue reference card deck.
A purer evolution of Clue that focuses on the fun part (deducing the logic puzzle) and removes the most annoying feature (being two steps away from a door, rolling a one, and then getting pulled into a room all the way across the board).
For what this game is it is perfect. SUPER simple rule set yet you can still be left with your brain hurting trying to figure out where the cryptid is. gem to teach, gem to play. just purely a gem
Cryptide est un des meilleurs jeux de déduction !! Avec des règles accessibles et un rappel au Mastermind, on se creuse la tête tout au long de la partie pour tenter de deviner les indices des autres et en déduire l’emplacement du cryptide. Mais il y a beaucoup d’interaction entre les joueurs et c’est assez plaisant. On s’interroge les uns les autres, on pose des cubes ou des disques et on discute autour de la table, souvent avec beaucoup de mauvaise foi. Alors on va sortir souvent Cryptide, on va kiffer se creuser la tête et on va vraiment transpirer avec le mode difficile. Un jeu obligatoire dans toute ludothèque d’amateurs de jeux de déduction. https://undecent.fr/2022/11/16/cryptide/
