The Night Desk

Field notes

Players assign each guest to a room on a six-room floor plan, using needs and relational clues such as “across,” “near,” and “above/below.” The week adds complications: gossip about other guests, an out-of-order room, irreversible weekend check-ins, and a Sunday inspector. A perfect night unlocks a morning story, while Thursday and Sunday deliberately cap the attainable result because two guests have fallen out.
