Christmas murder mystery game, printed at home
A holiday dinner where everyone plays a suspect. Download, print, and solve a murder between the main course and dessert.
We do not sell a kit set on Christmas Day itself, and we would rather say so. Two of our stories fit a holiday party naturally: Crime Aboard the Orient Express takes place in December 1935, on a luxury train stopped by snow in the Alps, and Murder at the Royal Casino is a glittering 1927 gala in Paris. Both play with 6 to 12 guests in about 3 hours. If you want Christmas itself in the story, with your family's names and in-jokes, a custom scenario is written for you.
The snowbound train
Crime Aboard the Orient Express: December 1935, the most luxurious train in Europe is stuck in the snow, a passenger is found dead in his compartment and nobody has left since the stop. A closed setting, winter outside, and every traveller lying about something: it reads like a holiday evening.
The gala evening
Murder at the Royal Casino: Paris, November 1927, a toast, a poison and a casino where every silence has a price. Black tie and sequins for a festive dinner.
A Christmas written for your family
Our custom murder mystery is written around your real guests, their names and their stories, for your exact head count. Order early: December fills up.
