About The Hidden Side: Mysteries
The Hidden Side is 60 investigations drawn from true stories. One sentence, one absurd situation, and a single question: what actually happened? THREE WAYS TO PLAY On your own, at your pace: flip the card when you think you have it. Remotely, two of you: open a room and send the invite code to a friend. One of you is the Keeper and knows the answer, the other asks the questions. You don't need to be online at the same time — questions wait for you, and a notification tells you when it's your turn. In the same room: one phone is enough. One player referees, the others investigate, and handing over the device is protected by a press-and-hold. CLOSED QUESTIONS, THREE ANSWERS Yes. No. Doesn't matter. That is the whole mechanic, and it holds a whole evening. ONE FREE INVESTIGATION EVERY DAY Unlock one free investigation a day — the one you choose — on top of the Premium content. A TUTORIAL YOU ACTUALLY PLAY No rules to read: on first launch you run a real demo investigation, place your bet on the answer, then flip the card. EIGHT LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. Every game ends properly: case closed or complete failure, with your score and a challenge to send straight back.
What’s new
Version 2.0.0 · Updated October 6, 2026
Version 2.0.0 — The Hidden Side is now a game you play together. PLAY REMOTELY Open a room, send the invite code to a friend: you each investigate from your own phone. One of you is the Keeper and knows the answer, the other asks the questions. You don't need to be online at the same time — questions wait for you, and a notification lets you know when it's your turn. Clues confirmed by the Keeper are revealed to the Investigator as the game goes on. KEEPER MODE The board game, guided by the app, on a single phone. One player referees, the others investigate. Handing over the device is protected by a press-and-hold, and the checklist of clues to guess fills up as you play. Two possible endings: case closed, or complete failure. ONE FREE INVESTIGATION EVERY DAY Unlock one free investigation a day — the one you choose — on top of the Premium content. A TUTORIAL YOU ACTUALLY PLAY No more rules to read: on first launch you run a real demo investigation, place your bet on the answer, then flip the card. The rules stay available from the menu. FIVE NEW LANGUAGES German, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese join French, English and Spanish. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Swipe from one investigation to the next without going back to the list • "Solved" and "abandoned" stamps are translated and visible everywhere • Redesigned Premium page, showing your store's real price in your currency • Several remote games at once with Premium • Version number and contact link in settings • "Reset progress" now really clears everything • In-app purchase and sharing fixed, plus many display corrections • The app opens on its title screen every launch, while the investigations load • The app now tells you when a new version is available • Readability pass: full-ink text and outlines on the dark background
