In addition to the 'authorized' The Da Vinci Code Board Game: The Quest for the Truth from Warren Industries, there is a number of other board games seeking to profit off the immense popularity of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code novel and Ron Howard's $125 million movie adaptation. 

 

Briarpatch has published a number of abstract strategy board games using symbols that Leonardo favored -- Da Vinci's Challenge (MSRP $19.99), Da Vinci's Challenge Card Game (an 'add-on' to the Da Vinci Challenge board game, which can also be played by itself -- MSRP $6.98), and Da Vinci's Mancala (MSRP $17.99).  Winning Move's Coda, which was designed by Eiji Wakasugi in Japan and published in the U.S. in 2004, is an ingenious code-breaking game, and was published as Da Vinci Code in Europe.  Winning Moves is also set to release Mona Lisa Mysteries, a board game centered on the 1911 theft of the famous painting from the Louvre.

 

In addition to the foregoing there are a couple of games that are closer to the spirit and substance of Dan Brown's mega-selling novel--The Da Vinci Game, a board game published independently in the U.K, and The Da Vinci Quest (MSRP $27.98) from the John N. Hansen Co.--but Warren Industries' The Da Vinci Code Board Game: The Quest for the Truth (MSRP $24.99) ties in directly to the Ron Howard film and will undoubtedly be the best-selling of all the 'Da Vinci Code' inspired board games. 
 
According to Reuters, Warren Industries believes they will be able to sell more than 250,000 copies of the game, which is designed for 2-6 players and comes with an instructional DVD to help players get started.  The game features 15 different mysteries to solve and manages to provide the board game equivalent of the religious-themed investigative thriller that has been such a success in print and on-screen.
