This free sample is separate from the paid adventures. Four artifacts—STAR, OWL, KEY and MOON—sit in a row, numbered 1 to 4 from left to right. KEY is immediately right of OWL. MOON is on the far right. STAR is somewhere left of OWL. Which position holds KEY?

Position 3. The order is STAR, OWL, KEY, MOON. OWL and KEY must stay together, with room for STAR before them and MOON at the end.
A mystery together. An easy setup.
Print eight main-game player pages, gather pencils and an eraser, and read the mission aloud. All clues are on the pages. No cutting, clue hiding, locks, special equipment, or internet are needed during play. The puzzles work in black and white; the illustrated color poster is optional.
What is inside
- The Midnight Museum: six puzzles across maps, secret messages, logic, numbers, constellations and imaginary specimens. Includes a mission, story finale and certificate.
- The Missing Dawn Lens: four additional puzzles with their own mission and ending. Play the bonus after the main game or save it for another day.
- Two host guides: setup instructions, staged hints and full solutions for all ten puzzles.
- Offline host companion: open the included HTML file in a browser for expandable hints, code checks and an optional elapsed timer. Printed guides are included if you prefer a screen-free session.
- Party extras: a fill-in invitation, rotating team roles, a welcome sign and a separate certificate.
- Original illustrated poster: optional full-color museum artwork, included as a printable PDF.
One ZIP download: 12 PDFs plus the host companion and a start guide. There are 25 unique printable pages, each supplied in US Letter and A4 (50 pages counting both sizes). Choose your paper size and print only the pages you want.
Print only what you need
- Main adventure: 8 player pages; the 4-page host guide can stay on screen.
- Optional bonus: 6 player pages and a 2-page host guide.
- Optional decorations and awards: 4 party pages and a 1-page color poster.
Use single-sided printing at actual size (100%). A printer, paper, pencils, an eraser and an adult host are all you need. The product photos show the optional artwork and a real player-page preview; no physical items are shipped.
Is this right for our family?
Designed for one cooperative team of 2–4, intended ages 9–12, with an adult available to read instructions and offer hints. There is no required countdown and no penalty for asking for help. This is an early release: difficulty, enjoyment and play duration have not yet been validated with families.
Can we play again?
You can reprint for your household or your own classroom. The solutions stay the same, so another playthrough is best with new players. The bonus has different puzzles and its own code.
Do players need a phone or computer?
No. Everything needed to play is in the printable PDFs. The host companion is optional. Extract the ZIP and open the HTML file in a modern browser; if your device does not open HTML files, use the PDF host guides.
Is this a party for a large group?
The kit is intended for one team of 2–4. Team-role printables help everyone contribute. Larger-group play has not been tested; this listing does not include a facilitated event.
