Midnight Alibi / Rooms

The manor

Twelve rooms, one long night. Each case uses four to six of them, and every suspect visits each room exactly once.

  • The library at night

    Library

    Shelves to the ceiling, a rolling ladder and a fire that never quite goes out.

  • The kitchen at night

    Kitchen

    Copper pans, a scrubbed oak table and a back door to the kitchen garden.

  • The ballroom at night

    Ballroom

    A chandelier over an empty floor, and the piano lid still up.

  • The conservatory at night

    Conservatory

    Glass, palms and orchids, warm as July even at midnight.

  • The study at night

    Study

    The desk, the ledgers, and the safe nobody admits to opening.

  • The cellar at night

    Cellar

    Wine racks, cold stone and a single bulb on a chain.

  • The lounge at night

    Lounge

    Deep armchairs, a card table and the good whisky.

  • The hall at night

    Hall

    The front door, the stairs and every coming and going.

  • The attic at night

    Attic

    Trunks, dust sheets and a round window over the drive.

  • The chapel at night

    Chapel

    Candles, a cold pew and the family vault beneath.

  • The gallery at night

    Gallery

    Ancestors in gilt frames, watching the long corridor.

  • The garden at night

    Garden

    Gravel paths, a sundial and the hedges by moonlight.

On the board, each room has its own symbol and color, so you can read the timeline quickly.
