Printing a game kit: A4, US Letter and what to keep private
The two PDF versions are alternatives for different paper sizes.
Print one size, not both
The two PDF versions are alternatives for different paper sizes. Choose the one that matches the printer, test a page and check that the edges are visible. For portrait player sheets, start with actual-size printing rather than arbitrarily enlarging the page. Do not print every file in the ZIP: host answers, samples and alternative paper sizes serve different purposes.
Separate player and host material
For the museum mystery, give players the evidence and worksheet while keeping the solution closed. The setup guide can be read without revealing the finding. For Star Signal, player missions are separate from the adult guide. Print extra mission packs when several small teams will play; the answer key belongs with the supervising adult.
Plan the end before starting
Check whether you want to use a printed answer key, staged hints or the offline finale. Opening an HTML file in a browser does not require an account. A device is optional for the mystery and the child mission if you use paper instructions. Files do not include a printer or consumables, so leave time to print before the event rather than discovering that requirement at the table.
