What to Expect
You play an episodic puzzle adventure in the Elusiverse, where lost items carry stories. Finders Keypers follows the search for Jenna's lost carabiner and leads you through five envelopes containing sequential puzzles. After solving each envelope you verify your answers on the M.O.L.T. web portal, which also provides hints.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at experienced players and fans of escape-room-style puzzles aged 14 and up. With a playtime of about 240 minutes it's evening-length to long and requires patience; prior experience with cooperative deduction puzzles is useful but not mandatory.
How It Works
This cooperative puzzle adventure supports 1–4 players (solo possible). Play proceeds episodically: solve the puzzles in an envelope, check solutions online in the portal, then open the next envelope. Mechanics listed include Cooperative Game, Deduction and Solo / Solitaire Game, blending escape-room logic with interactive fiction and linked puzzle sequences.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Mark Larson, Rita Orlov and Chelsea Stark, Finders Keypers is the second standalone case in the Ministry of Lost Things series. The integration of an online portal for solution verification and hint access is a core part of the gameplay.
Pro
- Five sequential envelopes that drive progression
- Mixes escape-room elements with interactive fiction
- Cooperative deduction play with a solo option
- Online portal for solution checks and hints
Contra
- Long overall playtime (~240 minutes) requires commitment
- Age recommendation 14+, not aimed at younger children
Setting & atmosphere
Set in the Elusiverse, a narrative world where lost items have their own stories. This case centers on Jenna's missing carabiner and the consequences for her daily life.
Tips for beginners
Take time on the first envelope, divide tasks among players and use the web portal hints when stuck.
