Your friends as witnesses
Download your case
Bought the personalized case on Etsy? Enter your Etsy order number and the surname of the first guest on your list (or your own surname from the order).
Where is my order number?
On Etsy, open Purchases and reviews, or open the receipt e-mail from Etsy. It is the long number next to “Order”.
How long does it take?
Usually a few minutes. Your case is built automatically as soon as the payment goes through on Etsy, and this page checks again by itself while you wait. Case No. 1 of your listing (Halloween or Christmas) is already in your Etsy download.
Two listings, one page
This page serves both personalized cases, Murder at the Lantern Ball (Halloween) and Murder at the Mistletoe Ball (Christmas). The title above your files tells you which one you are looking at. If you bought both, both appear here under the same order number.
Your friends’ names
We use the names only to build your case. Your files contain them and are deleted automatically 30 days after they are ready, so please save your files. More in our privacy policy.
Something wrong?
A name is wrong? Next to your files is a link to fix the names once; your current files keep working until the new ones are ready. If your case is not here within 30 minutes, or anything else is wrong, message us on Etsy (ARLing Studio); we reply within one working day.
Which word do I type?
The first word on the list you sent with your order: the word before the first colon in the first box. Capital letters and spaces do not matter. Your own surname from the Etsy order works too.
How long does it take?
Usually a few minutes. Your crossword is built automatically as soon as the payment goes through on Etsy, and this page checks again by itself while you wait.
What do I get?
Two PDF files with the same crossword, one in A4 and one in US Letter. Each has 5 pages: a cover, how to play, the puzzle, the solution, and a keepsake page with the filled grid, your title and date, ready for a frame.

Which name do I type?
The first name of the first child on your list, as you typed it with your order (for example Emma). Capital letters do not matter. Your own surname from the Etsy order works too.
How long does it take?
Usually a few minutes. Your hunt is built automatically as soon as the payment goes through on Etsy, and this page checks again by itself while you wait.
What do I get?
Four PDF files: the clue cards and the Grown-ups Guide, each in A4 and in US Letter. The clue cards have 7 pages: a cover, how to play, 24 cards to cut out (6 per page) and the Day 24 letter. The Grown-ups Guide has 3 pages: where to hide each card, and the answers to the codes. Keep the guide away from the children. Print one paper size at 100% scale.
Hiding spots
If you left the hiding spots empty, your hunt uses our 16 everyday spots: 1 under your pillow, 2 under the blanket at the foot of your bed, 3 inside a slipper, 4 folded in your pajamas, 5 with your favorite stuffed animal, 6 in your sock drawer, 14 in the pocket of your winter coat, 15 inside your winter hat, 16 inside a mitten or glove, 17 inside a boot by the door, 18 inside one of your shoes, 20 rolled up in a scarf, 21 under a couch cushion, 29 inside a big picture book, 37 on the seat of a dining chair pushed under the table, 43 in the toy box. The Grown-ups Guide lists the spot for every day.
Your children’s names
We use the names and ages only to build your hunt. Your files contain them and are deleted automatically 30 days after they are ready; if you order before December, they stay until at least December 27. Please save your files. More in our privacy policy.
