When to use it

A diary gives evidence a personal perspective. Separate what its author saw from what they guessed, so the table can draw its own conclusions. Two or three short entries are easier to use than a wall of text.

An original clue to adapt

Tuesday: the clock is still dead. Wednesday: a ticket appeared under my door. Thursday: locker 14 is warm, though nobody has entered the station.

Make it your own

  1. Choose a narrator and write a short entry for each relevant day.
  2. Place one checkable location or object in the final entry.
  3. Keep dates distinct, preview line spacing and export only player-facing text.
