Database Plan
Use a Night Crew database run only after the team can finish the map. First clears teach the objective path; database runs slow down and sweep side rooms, interactables, optional clues, and missed pickups. For each map, mark found entries outside the game so the next Night Crew database attempt starts with a short missing-item list.
Map Files
The public Night Crew database badge families are Murder Manor Archivist, Tomb Archivist, Antarctic Archivist, and Fun Zone Archivist. Because those badges are map-specific, do not assume one missing item belongs to every map. Create one file per map, then track whether the missing entry was near the start, locked behind progress, hidden near an objective, or only visible after a trigger.
Collection Roles
A strong Night Crew database crew assigns roles before entering. One player calls the main route, one checks side rooms, one records found entries, and one keeps the team from timing out. If the group is still learning, finish the map first and turn the second run into the Night Crew database sweep.
Update Watch
The Night Crew database may change when new maps, events, or badges appear. Check the public badge list after updates and compare new badge wording with existing files. If a new Archivist-style badge appears, add a new map tracker instead of forcing it into an old file.
FAQ
Which maps have Archivist badges?
Murder Manor, Tomb of the Scarab King, PRG Antarctic Research Base, and Chuckles' Fun Zone are listed in public badge names.
Should I combine database and three-star runs?
Usually no. Collection runs and fast star runs reward different behavior.
Can this become a checklist tool?
Yes. The data model is ready for a future interactive collection tracker.
