Turn your Halloween gathering into a detective game at the Hollow Lantern Inn. Mayor Maple has been found safe, but the festival donations have vanished from a locked cash box. Compare alibis, examine three evidence cards, and vote before the reveal.

WHAT YOU GET
Two printable PDFs:
• Host Guide: setup checklist, round-by-round script, solution, and trivia answers. Keep this file private.
• Guest Print Pack: six character role cards, three evidence cards, 10 trivia questions, and a blank answer/scoring sheet. No explicit solution or answer key appears in the guest pack.

PLAYERS & TIME
4–6 players plus one separate host. Four core roles; add one or two optional roles for larger groups. Mayor Maple is offstage, not a player.
Allow an estimated 30–45 minutes. This edition has not yet been playtested.

HOW IT WORKS
After purchase, open Halloween Mystery Game Pack and download both PDFs from its lessons. The host reads the private guide, prints and separates the guest materials, and releases clues in rounds.
You’ll need paper, a printer, scissors, pens, and three envelopes. Preparation time depends on printing and cutting.

BEFORE YOU BUY
A non-graphic fictional theft mystery, not a murder mystery. No formal age rating; adults should review it for younger guests. Digital product only; nothing is shipped. Gallery artwork illustrates the theme. Revised edition 1.1.
