About Night Desk
Night Desk puts you behind the desk of a small museum's security office from midnight to 6 AM. Flip through seven night-vision cameras, shut the left and right doors when a visitor stands in the doorway and switch on your desk lamp to scare off the ghost — but every door, light and camera drains the same power meter.
Work the night shift in a tiny museum security office: flick through 7 cameras, slam the left and right shutters and switch on your desk lamp to keep four cartoon night visitors out until 6 AM — without running out of power.

💡 Tips & tricks
- Keep the Wobbly Mannequin on screen: it cannot move while you are watching it, and its empty podium tells you it has left.
- Lower the monitor every few seconds to look at both doorways — the Shadow Cat never shows up on camera.
- Doors stop the mannequin, rabbit and cat but not the Sheet Ghost: keep the lamp on until it floats away.
- Open a door again as soon as the doorway is empty: the Toy Rabbit hurries while any door is shut, and every second costs power.

Night Desk FAQ
What happens when I run out of power?
The lights go out, both doors open and the cameras stop working. You can only wait and hope the clock reaches 6 AM before anyone walks in.
Is it scary?
Only a little. The visitors are cartoon museum exhibits, and getting caught shows a big 'BOO!' with a soft sound and no flashing. It is made for players 10 and up.
How are stars awarded?
Surviving a night earns one star; finishing with more power left earns two or three. If you continue after being caught, the night counts as one star.
