There are two required videos to play during the game. You will be able to stream from YouTube, Vimeo, or download from Vimeo or your account (mp4, and re-posting the video content or any game content is not allowed). There are back-up transcripts in case you are unable to play them during the party for any reason.

This game was a new release in 2019, and has been updated as of 11/4/20 to separate the files into host instructions, printables, transcripts for videos, and an answer key. This should help to reduce instances of spoilers for the host.

Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis A master of deception, the reclusive Christopher Clause tricked many people into attending what he referred to as the ‘most wondrous party of the year.’ After everyone arrived at Clause Manor, Christopher had his staff lock the guests inside with no chance of escape. The party-goers were shocked to see Christopher, wearing a Santa suit in a faraway location, pop onto a monitor in the living room. He warned that someone would be leaving in a coroner’s bag!
The eccentric millionaire was a mastermind and had selected the guest list meticulously. It wasn’t long before tempers flared inside of the holiday pressure cooker while they worked on Chris's demented riddle. There wasn’t much surprise when a dead body emerged, and a killer lurked among them.
Christopher popped back on the monitor, laughing and cheering with delight. His twisted plan had fallen into place. He gave another riddle for the guests to solve and announced that he would be contacting the authorities. He cautioned that all attendees would be a suspect in this murder if they didn’t find the killer before the red and blues swirled in the front driveway.
The guest scurried about, interrogating each other until they could turn over no more stones. Once they found the killer, the detainees were able to leave the manor, never to speak of the night’s events again.

Fun - Enjoyable
I purchased this to play at our small (20 people) company Christmas party. It was quite fun. It was a lot of work to put together, printing everything on card stock, etc. but everyone enjoyed it. Joilyn Owen on Dec 28th 2020

Great for work party
We wanted to do something different for our Annual Christmas Party. Our group was so excited! Everyone dressed in costume and had fun playing their role. The video clips were an excellent touch to the game. I played the hostess which was really fun with the well organized instructions and tips on set up such as hiding clues and the victim attire. Our group is already asking when we can play another one of your games. Thank you for an amazing, well thought out game. Unknown on Dec 14th 2020

Great Time
We had a group of 19 ranging in age from 13-60 on Christmas Eve. I was surprised at how much the group got into the characters. I did not play, and not sure how that would have worked. I was busy coordinating the event and getting food ready to be served. I bought this on the 23rd for a party on the 24th...a bit rushed to put it together.
2 people figured out the mystery. Most were close by the time it ended. Cara Lyn Herdrich on Dec 30th 2019 -
Excellent for Work Party
I planned this murder mystery party for a group of my co-workers for our annual Christmas shindig - it was totally different than anything we have ever done, but it was so well received, we may be considering doing it again! It was so very well organized and easy to follow and play as the hostess. Kim on Dec 19th 2019
