Funko Games has announced pre-orders for its upcoming board game version of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 thriller “Rear Window.”
Headed to tabletops this summer, in the “Rear Window” game, one player assumes the role of the Director and “Master of Suspense,” who must silently play out clues as to what may or may not have happened while other players try and decipher them. There are parties, knives, a saw, bickering, laughing, music…and a mysterious trunk. Do you detect a murder? Or is the secret, private world of the neighbors planting frightening ideas in your mind?
Inspired by the classic 1950s film stylings of Hitchcock, “Rear Window Game” immediately sets the tone for gameplay – transporting the players into the fabled apartment and its curious neighbors. The game even includes the likeness of Hollywood icons Jimmy Stewart (as L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries) and Grace Kelly (as Lisa Carol Fremont).
“Rear Window Game” is a cooperative game with all the tension, suspense, and surprise associated with Hitchcock storytelling and is intended for players ages 13+ with gameplay that lasts about 40 minutes.
Funko’s Rear Window Game is available for pre-order now through Amazon.
