About the game
What you do in a play session
The Missing Hotel Key is a print-and-play investigative mystery where you need to figure out who stole the Founder’s Key from a hotel display. The game includes a case file packed with clues: suspect profiles, access records, interviews, and even photo metadata. Your job is to cross-reference this evidence to pinpoint the culprit, the exact time of the crime, the motive, and where the key was hidden. Play it solo or team up with friends to crack the case. If you get stuck, progressive hints are available. At the end, you check your answers against a separate solution. The best part? Just download, print at home (or read on-screen), and start investigating — no game master required. A great pick for mystery fans who love a logical challenge!
