June 1945, Manhattan—The city celebrates the recent surrender of Nazi Germany during WWII, but peril lurks in the shadows. A group of extreme Nazi loyalists has evaded Allied defenses and taken up residence in the heart of Manhattan, seeking revenge. With sinister plans brewing, the stakes could not be higher. Can you foil the plans of The Fifth Column? The Fifth Column contains one full storyline made up of two parts, with dozens of puzzles to decipher and clues to crack. The game is steeped with real historical documents and facts as you step into the shoes of a WWII codebreaker. Play with a group or on your own for hours of fun. It's like two escape room or mystery games with one single purchase.

The Fifth Column is a superb puzzle adventure that transports players back in time through a gripping narrative, realistic and tactile components and clever puzzles. The game is well-researched, which shows through the attention to detail throughout, adding to the sense of immersion. With 2-4 hours of gameplay, you can experience the game all at once, or split the two parts across multiple sittings. Either way, there is plenty of gameplay to keep you busy! If you haven’t tried a Puzzling Pursuits game yet, I would highly recommend this as a great place to start, especially given it is a one-box self-contained story.
