Budapest, July of 1968. The Hungarian capital and the entire country is ablaze with excitement as the first Budapest Olympics are less than one month away. Athletes, coaches, family members and tourists from all over the world are arriving to witness the splendour of the Second Hungarian Republic and its athletes, for whom the relegation of Mexico City represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete on home soil and to become the best in the world. The capital and the Budapest Metropolitan Police face an unprecedented challenge: to keep order in the Babel that is Budapest, where the fighting is not confined to the fencing ring, the swimming pool or the stadiums. Behind the scenes, the wealthy, the powerful and the influential play their country-wide game of power, where the stakes are not the gold, silver or bronze, but rather life and death, peace and war. During the chaos, Police Chief János Kádár is invited to a prestigious social event by an old friend, unaware that he is about to face one of the most difficult challenges of his entire career.
Babel Budapest: In the Shadow of the Olympics is a character-driven spy-drama, written for 25-30 players, based on the works of Vilmos Kondor, a best-selling Hungarian crime author. The game takes players into the height of the Alternate Cold War, and allows them the explore a Hungary that never was, and the challenges it has to face for its very survival.
