50 Clues: The Home Temple 2019

The boy did not seem completely normal. Very pale and paranoid. Vigilant citizens were concerned and contacted police, who followed the boy to a nearby townhouse.

During the game, you must imagine that you are a plainclothes police officer. You have entered a house without a warrant, although the boy seemed a bit reluctant to let you in. He looks to be around 12 years old and seems to be home alone. You just want to have a look around and, perhaps, chat with his parents.

The Home Temple is a free 18-card mini-game, that is available at game conventions, in stores, and as a download for print’n’play. It serves as an introduction to the 50 Clues universe.

50 Clues is an immersive puzzle game that offers the experience of an escape room, but in a format that can be played at home. You combine objects, solve puzzles and decipher codes to complete the story. A smartphone or tablet keeps track of the solutions and provides multistep hints if the need arises.
