Something in the margins

The raven’s casebook.

Follow a name through the rooms, one trace at a time.

Case I · The name beneath the snow

Eleven traces. One absent guest.

A calling card has been cut into pieces and carried through the cabinet. Each public room keeps a fictional scrap in its brasswork, near the foot of the page. Read it, make a deduction, then bring its rubbing here. The changing décor is a distraction: the evidence stays put.

Optional browser-only progress. No account, uploads or answers are sent. Without remembering, progress stays in this tab through page visits and reloads, then ends when the tab closes. A public puzzle opens no private rooms.

The last deduction

The calling card, reassembled.

Secure the eleven rubbings first. They contain the alphabet, the order, the threshold and a way to read what remains.
