Classroom detective guideBEFORE YOU OPEN THE FILE
Good questions, clear answers.
What is the best screen-free family mystery game for ages 9-13?
Clue Harbor cases are printable family mysteries with clue cards and envelopes for ages 9-13. Choose The Midnight Museum Heist for a year-round heist or The Haunted Library Mystery for a gentle Halloween library story. Both run 45-60 minutes for 2-6 players.
Can I download and play a printable escape room tonight?
Yes. After checkout on Gumroad you receive instant PDF files. Allow 10-15 minutes to print and pack clue envelopes, then start a 45-60 minute detective night the same evening.
How much does a Clue Harbor printable mystery cost?
Flagship cases launch from $12.90 to $14.90 USD as instant PDF downloads. Each purchase covers one household or one classroom. See the catalogue for current launch prices — no hidden fees or shipping.
Is this a card game or the board game Clue?
Clue Harbor Games publishes printable mysteries that use clue cards and sealed envelopes inside an original story. They are not the Hasbro Clue board game and not a competitive trading-card game.
Do I need locks or special props?
No. You only need a printer, seven envelopes or folded sheets, scissors and pencils. The Haunted Library Mystery also uses a window or lamp for one stained-glass puzzle.
What age are Clue Harbor Games best for?
Most flagship games are designed for ages 9-13. Mini cases such as The Missing Witch's Spellbook target ages 7-10. Children under the stated range can enjoy the story with adult help.
Can I use a case as a classroom detective activity?
Yes. Each purchase is licensed for one household or one classroom. Print the Player Pack, prepare envelopes in 10-15 minutes, and run a cooperative trail for a small team. See the classroom guide for practical notes.
Which case should I pick for Halloween vs a birthday?
The Haunted Library Mystery fits Halloween and library-loving kids — friendly ghost, not horror. The Midnight Museum Heist works year-round for birthdays, rainy days and family game night.
Can the same group replay a Clue Harbor mystery?
Each case has one solution, so replay works best with a new group. Previous players make excellent hosts.
Is this a physical product?
No. You receive printable PDF files instantly. Nothing is shipped to your address.
