Hotel Bizarre · the card game

The Interview

The hotel is hiring a caretaker.
Twelve doors, a switchboard that rings when it likes.
The job goes to whoever remembers what is behind them.

The open box: the deck, the keys, the tokens and the rules
The box as it might be: a model, not the finished product.

A face-down card, and a room behind it

Twelve face-down cards lie on the table, all alike. Turn one over: behind it is a room of the hotel, densely drawn and full of things.

Touch the card to turn it over.

How a night goes

  1. The walk-through

    At the start every room stays open for two minutes. Everyone looks at everything. Then the doors close.

  2. The wait

    Anyone can open a door whenever they like, one at a time, and look without showing it.

  3. The ring

    The phone in the middle of the table rings without warning. On the screen, a request from the hotel: a guest has lost a gold earring.

  4. The answer

    Everyone puts their marker on the door where they think it is. The cards are turned. Whoever is right takes the call.

Five calls, and you are hired.

The floors

Each floor of the hotel is a deck of twelve rooms with its own requests. You choose which one to play on the switchboard.
