Hidden Games Crime Scene: The Midnight Crown

Players collaborate as a team of detectives to solve the theft of a museum heirloom during a night‑time event. The case requires examining evidence, comparing fingerprints, assessing alibis and motives, and piecing together documents and interview transcripts. Investigations use multimedia: players listen to recorded interviews, make phone calls and receive text messages, consult online resources, and organize findings on a large poster. Sessions run about 1.5–3 hours (or can be paused and resumed). Designed for ages 14+, it supports cooperative problem‑solving and requires internet access and a phone; a laptop or tablet is helpful but optional.
