Murder at Hollyberry Lodge

It's Christmas Eve at a snowbound mountain lodge. Toy tycoon Nick Winterbourne promised his guests a big announcement after the carols, but by 9 PM he's dead in the library. The roads are closed, the police can't come until morning, and the killer is still at the table.

Every guest plays a suspect with a secret. Over three rounds (drinks, dinner and dessert), the clue cards reveal alibis, lies and motives until only one answer is left. The solution is fair and provable from the clues, whether you have 6 guests or 12.

• Host guide: planning timeline, casting guide, read-aloud script for every round, and the solution with a proof chart
• 12 character booklets (6 essential and 6 optional), each with a backstory, a secret and costume ideas
• 17 evidence clue cards across 3 rounds
• 12 editable invitations, each matched to a character, and an editable menu card
• Name tags, place cards and accusation sheets
• Decor: bunting, party signs and award certificates
• 56 pages in both US Letter and A4

• Adults (older teens enjoy it too); a cozy-mystery tone with no gore
