Clue Escape: The Midnight Hotel

Guests gather at a memorial in a mysterious hotel where a cache of blackmailed documents has been tampered with. Players work together to discover who tried to steal the files, which room holds them, and the password needed to open them. Gameplay mixes an escape-room structure with deduction: players build a 3D board room-by-room as they draw cards, move pawns, solve puzzles, unlock new areas, and collect clues. After escaping the hotel, the group reviews gathered evidence and makes a final accusation to identify the culprit, location, and password. The game supports cooperative play or solo play and uses limited setup for a one-time, narrative-driven experience.
