Rather amazingly however, The Da Vinci Code isn't entirely unappealing. Like realising it was actually a plastic joke-poo you stood on, then turning to your friends, laughing and giving them two thumbs up before walking off happier than before. If you haven't read the bestseller, the maddeningly twisty plot will keep you on edge throughout the game - probably its best appeal. Following the plot of the papery opus closely, the game lifts dialogue, characters and settings right out of Dan Brown's over-hyped pamphlet of lies and places them in a third-person Broken Sword-style clue-hunt 'em up.

Not surprising really, since Broken Sword creator Charles Cecil was on board for development and it shows in places. Despite feeling like a rushed PC conversion, The Da Vinci Code is an enjoyable adventure. Action sections are passable, and the game's logic puzzles managed to attract a crowd of baying amateur cryptographers. While it lacks the charm and cleverness of the Broken Sword games, it retains the compelling one-more-chapter allure of the novel. Also, that loser Tom Hanks isn't in it.

The goal of the Da Vinci Code game is to reveal all of your opponents' secret codes before they uncover yours. Each player begins by drawing three or four (depending on the number of players) numbered plastic tiles from a face-down pile. After each player lines up the tiles in numeric order so that only he or she can see them, play begins.

On your turn, draw a new tile from the face-down supply and set it to the side of your lineup. Choose a tile in any opponent's array, and then attempt to identify it (e.g. 'This is a Dark 3.'). If you're correct, the opponent reveals the tile. If you're wrong, you must show the tile you drew from the pile and insert it into your lineup, in sequential order. As long as you make correct guesses, you can keep guessing additional tiles. If you decided to end your turn before making an incorrect guess, you can add the tile you drew into your lineup without revealing it, making your code longer.

  • Two sets (one black and one white) of numbered tiles from 0-11
  • One game takes about 20 minutes

Set-up

The tiles are put on the table face down and are mixed thoroughly.

If you are wrong, you have to place the tile you drew and then insert it face-up (so all opponents can see it) into your code in its correct position. By so doing, you give your opponents clues about the identities of your hidden tiles.

3. As your turn continues, if your first guess was correct, you may go again -- that is, you may continue your turn by attacking 'any' other opposing tile. Or, you may decide to end your turn. If you end your turn, insert the tile you drew at the outset of your turn into your code. Do not show it to your opponents. Leave it standing. Your secret code is now longer by one tile.
