A French, phone-based mystery game for 6 to 10 people sharing a room, designed to run for 90 minutes without printed roles or a human game master.

Why it surfaced

Dossier Minuit turns one person’s dinner-party hosting problem into a tightly specified product: each player gets private information, the system releases clues and keeps time, and the organizer investigates alongside everyone else. The site offers a 39 CHF group session built around a hotel disappearance, with the game marked as opening soon.
