Printable party game
A printable Christmas murder mystery dinner party for 6 to 12 guests
$5.99 Instant PDF
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.
Sold as a printable download for personal use through our Etsy shop and on Gumroad.
Grown-ups hosting a Christmas dinner at home for 6 to 12 friends or family who enjoy a cozy whodunit. Older teens like it too. For an office party, or a group with younger children, Murder at the Merryvale Holiday Party is the better fit.
Very little. Send each guest their character booklet a week or so ahead so they can learn their secret and put together a costume. Nobody has to memorize lines.
Six of the twelve characters are optional, so you can drop any of them and the solution still holds. The host guide shows who to leave out.
You get an instant download right after checkout. If a file won't open or something looks wrong, email hello@frontporchpuzzlepress.com or message us on Etsy and we will fix it or refund you.
