Table ReadyMaps. Stories. Less prep.
More table time.

A little preparation. Clear choices.

Worked examples for the decisions you make while hosting.

Run an investigation without guessing the answer

Work through The Mirror Ticket: authenticate a reservation from two observations, explain the waiting reflection, and choose a later sailing when reconstruction uses the available checks.

Make a map change the players’ decisions

Use The Folded Orchard's two clips, cistern alignment and low-crease discovery to compare a complete repair, a short cart rescue and a reliable perimeter route.

Host a bargain with four real sides

Run A Place at the Festival Table with four parties, six meal batches, four benches and two water measures; distinguish a two-bell supper from the longer courtyard programme.

Run a repeating morning without losing the thread

Walk through The Inn with Two Dawns: retain the cup and letter discoveries, reset privacy and the coach, then use the second morning's invitation window before it closes.

Make pressure fair with visible costs

Compare The Lantern at Low Tide's rope rescue, illuminated stair and three-lamp signal. See how spending one lamp changes the ferry's available return plan.

Choose a 90-minute route that still makes sense

Prepare The Observatory's Lost Signal for 90 minutes, compare its four checking intervals with the longer route's six, and preserve a verified correction when tonight's survey must wait.
