Three Printable Mystery Games - Museum Heist, Theatre Murder & Railway Rescue, Detective PDF Bundle

Three different settings, three complete detective mysteries: a museum theft, a theatre death and a railway rescue. Download, choose one case and investigate together.

A museum closes with an empty display cabinet. A theatre director never reaches the curtain call. A railway engineer sends a message from a locked service van.

Three separate After Hours Casefiles for you to print, spread across the table and solve together. Start with The Meridian Cabinet, move on to The Last Cue, then take on the cross-referenced records of The Blackthorn Signal. Each case stands alone, so you can play in any order.

• The Meridian Cabinet: a museum heist with eight guided puzzles. Suggested ages 12+; no murder or graphic content. Player File 12 pages; Hints & Answers 9 pages.
• The Last Cue: a theatre poisoning, with seven evidence puzzles and a final report. Suggested ages 14+; non-graphic death and a false safety certificate. Player File 10 pages; Hints & Answers 19 pages.
• The Blackthorn Signal: rescue a missing engineer, with seven evidence puzzles and a final report. Suggested ages 12+; confinement and danger, with a safe ending. Player File 10 pages; Hints & Answers 19 pages.

YOUR DOWNLOAD
One ZIP, three case folders and 18 PDFs in total (alternative formats, not 18 games). Each case has A4 and US Letter Player Files, matching low-ink Player Files and a separate Hints & Answers guide in both sizes. Each task has three graduated hints before its full solution. Start-here instructions explain how to share independent clues and bring the results together. Font notices are included.


Choose one player edition for each case. Paper sizes and ink options contain the same game. The bundle contains the same three cases available separately, in revised edition v3.0. No Halloween mystery is included. Please check your existing purchases before buying.

PLAYING
Suggested for 2-6 people, or solve alone. Everyone investigates; no host needs to read the answers. Use ordinary paper and pens. No cutting, costumes, locks, props or app are needed. All files are in English and playable offline after download. Play at your own pace: the deadlines belong to the stories, not a real timer. Difficulty labels and age guidance are editorial estimates; no verified playtime is claimed.

Print at 100%, or Fit to printable area if your printer clips a margin. You can skip covers and read the answer guides on screen.

Digital PDF download: nothing is posted. Once you solve a case, you know its answers. Print for your household and private game nights; do not resell, redistribute, publicly upload the files or use this edition for paid events. Message us through your Etsy order for file or printing problems.

Created with AI assistance.

Each guide puts graduated hints in a front section, with a full-page spoiler divider before the worked answers and complete ending. No full worked answer shares a hint page.
