Wednesday: Friend or Woe 2026

Step into the shadowy halls of Nevermore Academy to save the school from assured destruction in this officially licensed social deduction game for 4–8 players ages 10+, based on the hit show Wednesday.

Crackstone’s followers are trying to collect body parts to revive Crackstone himself! But Wednesday and her fellow students are trying to prevent that from happening by successfully investigating suspicious activity. Will you uncover the conspiracy in time, or will you be secretly working to ruin Nevermore’s reputation?

Each player assumes a unique character from the beloved series Wednesday, with hidden motives and abilities that kick in when your identity is revealed. Your mission is to use your cards to successfully investigate a series of mysteries, deduce the true identities of your fellow players, and thwart the devious plot before it’s too late. Or perhaps you will work to thwart the investigations and leave Nevermore’s reputation in tatters.

The only thing that’s for sure is that you can’t trust anyone.
