BEFORE YOU OPEN THE FILE
Good questions, clear answers.
Do I need locks or special props for The Midnight Museum Heist?
No. You only need a printer, seven envelopes or folded sheets, scissors and pencils.
What age is The Midnight Museum Heist best for?
The intended independent difficulty is ages 9-13. Children under nine can enjoy the story with adult help.
Is The Midnight Museum Heist a card game or the board game Clue?
It is a printable family mystery that uses clue cards and envelopes inside an original story. It is not the Hasbro Clue board game and not a competitive deck of cards.
Is this a good screen-free family mystery for a 10 year old?
Yes. Ages 9-13 can play independently; a 10 year old fits the target range. Younger siblings can join with adult help.
Can the same group replay The Midnight Museum Heist?
The case has one solution, so replay works best with a new group. Previous players make excellent hosts.
Is The Midnight Museum Heist a physical product?
No. You receive printable PDF files instantly. Nothing is shipped to your address.
