Host Museum Midnight Map

The museum night desk has a label fragment, two disagreeing prints and a crossed-out moving log. Use those records to recover the exhibit location. Collect five named badge digits and use the final sheet. Every clue is on the table; ask the host for one hint at a time.

Before you start

Clue check & hints

1. Label

Hint 1

Start at V and check every letter.

Hint 2

The exact word starts in row 3, column 1. Check its letters against the target.

Hint 3

In that row, copy column 5, the cell immediately after the complete word.

Reveal host answer

2

Only row 3 has VASE followed immediately by 2. Other rows have changed or reversed letters.

2. Print

Hint 1

Compare position 1 with position 1, not with a nearby matching shape.

Hint 2

Position 1 is one difference: circle in A, diamond in B. Mark it once.

Hint 3

Compare the remaining numbered pairs one by one. Add one mark for each unequal pair, then count all your marks.

Reveal host answer

4

Different positions are 1, 3, 4, 6. There are 4 differences.

3. Gallery

Hint 1

Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.

Hint 2

The first coordinate C3 means column C, row 3. Its letter is V.

Hint 3

Begin with V, then read D1, A3, B1 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.

Reveal host answer

8

C3, D1, A3, B1 reads VASE. The conversion table gives 8.

4. Curator

Hint 1

No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.

Hint 2

Noah cannot have two items, so Noah must have Coin.

Hint 3

Cross Coin off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find Noah's item.

Reveal host answer

5

Iris has Model; Noah has Coin; Zoe has Vase. Noah's item gives 5.

5. Log

Hint 1

The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.

Hint 2

Start with 8. Apply +4 then -2. Ignore the cancelled +7.

Hint 3

The known entries leave 10. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 15?

Reveal host answer

5

Known stock: 8 + 4 - 2 = 10. Closing stock 15 minus 10 gives the missing return 5. Cancelled +7 never arrived.

6. Final

Hint 1

Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.

Hint 2

C2 is read first; it holds Gallery.

Hint 3

Read slots C2, E2, A2, D2, B2. Copy every stored digit in that order, including zero.

Reveal host answer

85254

C2 > E2 > A2 > D2 > B2
