Peaky Blinders: Mastermind – A Puzzle-Adventure Game
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a puzzle-adventure game, inspired by the popular BBC and Netflix TV show, Peaky Blinders. Set in the aftermath of the Great War in Birmingham, the game takes place just before the events of Season One. Players have the opportunity to join the notorious Shelby family’s criminal gang and follow the rise of Tommy Shelby, the main character, as he uncovers a sinister plot threatening the family’s business. By proving himself as the true mastermind of the Peaky Blinders, players can experience the thrilling and strategic world of the Shelby family’s criminal endeavors.
In the game, the term “Mastermind” references Tommy Shelby’s ability to plan complex scenarios in his mind. As the player, you get to wield this power by taking control of key members of the Shelby family, including Tommy, Arthur, Polly, John, Ada, and Finn. Players can freely reset and rewind each character’s actions in a timeline, which allows them to perfectly coordinate and tune their actions to solve increasingly complex puzzles with stealth and strategic precision.
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind provides an authentic experience, as players navigate through familiar locations from the TV show, such as The Garrison Tavern, Shelby Parlour, Charlie Strong’s Yard, and more. The game’s storyline revolves around Tommy’s quest to uncover the truth behind a murder involving a Peaky Blinder and a Chinese opium dealer, solidifying Tommy’s position as the true mastermind.
While the game offers a gripping and immersive experience, it is important to note that it contains mature content, including violence, strong language, and drug references, reflecting the show’s darker and more intense themes.
