Ministry of Lost Things is a tabletop puzzle adventure series that blends escape rooms, board games, and interactive fiction. Finders Keypers is the second standalone case in an episodic exploration of the Elusiverse: a realm where every lost item has a story. In Finders Keypers, Jenna loses the carabiner holding all her keys and keychains. Almost immediately, it seems like her life starts falling apart. Can you help Jenna get out of this disaster? The game contains five envelopes which need to be solved in sequence, each revealing more about the lost items as you solve through the puzzles. At the end of each envelope, verify your solutions online in the M.O.L.T website portal to progress to the next step. Hints can also be accessed through the website portal. —description from the publisher
