Stonetop Inn Map

Complete Stonetop Inn location guide for The Mermaid Mask with every room, inspectable clue, NPC schedule, and prologue puzzle reference points.

Stonetop Inn anchors The Mermaid Mask's opening hours and remains revisit-able throughout the twelve-hour campaign. This clifftop establishment overlooking Silkwirm-on-Sea harbor hosts witnesses, maritime memorabilia, and the prologue's cauldron deduction alcove described in prologue walkthrough. Every inn screen contains at least one inspectable clue contributing toward the fifty-clue completion threshold tracked on Evidence Checklist.

Inn Locations Breakdown

Key Clues and Collectibles

Notable inn clues include Mortuga funeral announcement broadsheet, theatre seating chart photocopy, cauldron sigil rubbing, harbor tug timetable, and Symmetry's handwritten stage cues. None require pixel hunting—hotspots highlight on hover per how to play defaults. Return after submarine exploration begins to unlock innkeeper gossip about crew altercations night-of-murder.

Achievements tied to inn thoroughness include "Innkeeper's Favorite" for exhausting all optional dialogue—a Steam achievement listed in our tracker. Sally Spears occasionally directs you back via map pulse if mandatory prologue evidence remains uncollected.
