When Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst was released in 2006, it established a fundamental mechanic for the genre: the Door Lock Puzzle. In this early context, a "key location" was literal.

More than just a backdrop for puzzle-solving, the manor is a character in its own right—a physical manifestation of twisted obsession, grief, and mechanical ingenuity. The key locations within the Ravenhearst estate are not merely rooms; they are memory chambers, torture devices, and diaries written in brick and iron.
