How it works

One card. One candle. A few lines.

No rules to memorize, no experience needed. About fifteen quiet minutes an evening.

1

Read tonight’s page

A short scene in the Moon Book: a knock at the door, a light in the garden.

2

Turn one card

It tells you who visits, what you find, or what the house decides tonight.

3

Write a few lines

Any notebook works. Three lines are enough, and nobody reads them but you.

4

Glue the keepsake

Some nights it hides a Moon Crystal. Find five and the Secret Page opens.

A real evening

Your journal slowly becomes the cottage

A few lines, a keepsake glued in, a crystal when you find one. Night after night the pages fill up.

Night 1: the first lines and the Cottage tag glued into the journal

What’s inside your kit

Everything prepared for you

No prep, no rules to learn. Print the pages, cut a few keepsakes, and the cottage is ready for you.

The four printed tale booklets and an open spread with What Happens Tonight and Night 1

The Moon Book

A page for every night

Four tales, thirteen nights each. Every page gives you tonight’s scene, a little mission and the keepsake that goes with it, so you always know exactly what to do next.

Five printed Moon Deck story cards side by side, the deck and the quick-help card

The Moon Deck

One card, one evening

40 illustrated story cards in four suits: Candles, Herbs, Crystals and Feathers. Turn one and the Moon Book tells you where to read. Five quick-help cards keep the rules beside you, and an ordinary deck of playing cards works too.

Printed keepsake sheets with cut-out tags, a leaf, a ticket and wax seals

The Keepsake Kit

Treasures to glue in

Tags, labels, tickets, seals and Moon Crystals, numbered to match the night. Cut them out, glue them next to your lines, and your journal slowly turns into the cottage itself.

The printed Raven Letters from Isolde

The Raven Letters

Letters you can hold

In the winter tale a raven brings you twelve letters from Isolde. Print them on cream paper, fold, seal and keep them in your journal, one secret at a time.

Also in your kit: 9 Villager Cards to keep beside your journal, and 4 maps of Larkhollow — one for each season, to color as you play.

Questions

Everything you might want to know

Is this a physical product?

No, nothing is shipped. Moonlit Cottage is a printable kit: right after checkout you get a download link on screen and by email, with all the files. Print them at home or at a copy shop on US Letter paper.

Can I use it on my iPad, tablet or phone?

Yes. The kit includes a digital version of the Moon Book with clickable pages: tap tonight’s card and you jump straight to its scene. Many people read on the tablet and write in a paper journal.

I have never journaled. Can I still play?

Yes. Three lines are enough, even one sentence. The cards and the story always give you something to write about, and there is a practice evening to begin.

How long does an evening take?

About 15 minutes: read tonight’s page, turn a card, write a few lines and glue the keepsake. Longer if you like to linger.

What do I need besides the files?

A notebook you love (or the printable journal pages included), scissors, a glue stick and a candle if you like the mood. Card stock is nice for the cards but not required.

I don’t want to print the cards. Is that okay?

Yes. An ordinary deck of playing cards works: hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades each match one suit of the Moon Deck.

What if it’s not for me?

You have 14 days: if the cottage isn’t for you, just email us and we refund you in full. No questions, no forms.
