See the games, and try a small sample.
GameShelf is where Clue House keeps its games — boxed, polished, and waiting. Start with a short demo puzzle, then explore formats like WinterWord, SuddenDeath and DailyDrop to see what might fit your people.
Bring a shared puzzle experience to your team.
This is where councils, libraries and teams find the details: how a game runs, what support you get, and how we handle privacy, comms and timing.
In practice, the Clue House experience looks like:
- A hosted game site with clear playing instructions.
- Simple, unobtrusive emails that guide your team along the way.
- Plain-language notes covering privacy, data, and accessibility.
- An opportunity for leadership to take part — not to facilitate.
A small look behind the puzzles — the origins, design choices, and quiet values beneath each clue.
Clue House is an independent puzzle studio based in Tauranga, New Zealand, crafting intelligent puzzles that spark curiosity and bring people together. Every experience is built from first clue to final reveal, blending narrative intrigue, fair challenge, and seamless hosting for teams and organisations.
It exists to bring extraordinary moments into ordinary places — experiences that arrive with anticipation and stay with you long after they’re solved.
The games are intentionally low-tech, story-led, and human. Each clue is made to be worked through — turned over, tested, and understood — before anything truly resolves.
