Clue Cabinet
Help & printing
Start with the free Curious Cabinet mini mystery to see how our games work.
Open and print a game
- Download the ZIP and extract it using your device’s Files application.
- Open START-HERE.txt. Choose the Letter or A4 game booklet to match your paper.
- Read page 2 before printing. Print single-sided at actual size (100%). Black and white is fine.
- Print the required clue and final pages. Keep the separate guide closed until you need a hint.
- Give each team pencils and scrap paper. Begin with the story on page 2.
Hints without a phone connection
Open hints.html from the extracted folder in a desktop browser. Select the clue you are working on, try a hint or check a digit. Everything runs on your device. If your phone cannot open local HTML files, use the PDF guide instead.
A download will not open
Download the whole file before opening it. Extract the ZIP first, then open a PDF in your browser or PDF reader. Some phones preview ZIP files without extracting them; a laptop is usually easier for printing. Both paper sizes contain the same puzzles, so print only one.
Order access
After payments open, the payment confirmation page will provide your download. A transactional email will include the same private order link. Keep that email. Paid files are available only after a confirmed payment.
