== Core Gameplay (how the game plays) ==

* '''Format:''' Short investigation rounds (single-player or co-op up to 2 detectives per case, server cap ~24).
* '''Goal:''' Explore a map, collect evidence using hat-gadgets, deduce the suspect from randomized suspects/profiles, submit your accusation. Correct picks give rewards/badges. Average playtime per run is a few minutes, making it ideal for repeat runs.

== Halloween Spotlight event — Rune and Key ==

* '''Rune:''' Usually earned by completing a specified map (example: Motel Room or Cursed Cathedral depending on rotation).
* '''Key:''' A tougher challenge — typically requires completing a specific map (Cathedral) solo/with certain steps solved precisely (hidden pathways, mirror puzzles). Guides/UIs show the exact spots you must visit. Follow the event icon on the game page to participate. 

== Event overview ==

* The Halloween Spotlight event runs from '''October 23 to November 3, 2025'''.
* Players complete special quests in several featured games (including Armless Detective) to earn '''Runes''' and '''Keys''' — collectible tokens unlocking exclusive rewards.
* In the case of Armless Detective:
** '''Rune Quest''': Play & win a game on the limited-time “Cursed Cathedral” map. 
** '''Key Quest''': After earning the Rune, win a ''solo'' run of Cursed Cathedral, then complete a trick-or-treat-style mini-game (deliver candies to 150 houses) to obtain the Key. 

== How to complete the Armless Detective quests ==

# On Roblox, go to the event hub and join Armless Detective via the Halloween Spotlight portal. 
# First aim: Solve the '''Motel Room''' level (for some earlier reward / stepping stone) — this gives the Rune for Armless Detective. 
# Next: Queue the '''Cursed Cathedral''' map. Use tools like the magnet gadget, flashlight, inspect clues (shiny/candy, mirrors, buried bones) to identify the suspect and win the game.
# To get the Key: After winning in Cursed Cathedral, engage the additional mini-game of trick-or-treat/delivering candies to 150 houses.

=== Tips & community chatter ===

* Some players mention the statue activation or red-button puzzle inside Cursed Cathedral as the most confusing part:<blockquote>“In the cathedral, there's a broken window to the left. Go outside and click the red button.” Reddit</blockquote>
* If the Rune/Key rewards aren’t showing up, try joining the game '''through the hub portal''' rather than direct game join — ensures event tracking. 
* Since the Key Quest is solo and more challenging, it can help to play shortly after the map opens (players are more active, but competition is less).<ref name=":0" />
