This guide lists all 44 physical props you need to prepare for the game. Each prop is connected to objectives (player missions) or clues (investigation evidence).
Preparation Tips: You don't need perfect props! Use substitutes, print photos, or create simple versions. The atmosphere matters more than authenticity.
