The Gallery Heist — A Printable Detective Mystery Game
The Gallery Heist — A Printable Detective Mystery Game
The Gallery Heist is a printable detective mystery for people who pause the documentary to say "it was obviously the manager."
A $240,000 sculpture. 45 guests. Nobody left the building. The case went cold anyway.
Eighteen months ago, a bronze worth a quarter million vanished from a locked viewing room during a gallery party -- in a thirty-minute window, with a building full of witnesses. The original team logged 'no physical evidence recovered.' They were wrong. The file has been reopened for civilian review. That's you.
Three suspects. One overlooked piece of evidence. One question: who walked it out?
What you get:
- 18-page printable case file (PDF), instant download after purchase
- Incident report, security timeline, keycard logs, and the case board
- Full interview transcripts for all three suspects -- with the detective's margin notes
- The forensic supplement the first team missed
- A sealed answer key -- a STOP page keeps the solution safe until you commit to a name
How to play: print at home (or read on any screen). Review every document, spot what the CSI team missed, and name the thief. About 45 minutes solo -- or hand out the suspect files and argue it out as a group. Game night, book club, one very smug family gathering.
Case #2 in the Sidebar Society Cold Case Unit -- pairs with What Happened to Claire (Case #1). Each case stands alone.
Entirely fictional: every person, gallery, and case in this file is invented. Any resemblance to real people or events is coincidental.
The file is open. The thief is in it.
