Murder at the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party
A hilarious ugly Christmas sweater themed murder mystery party game for 8-20 guests, ages 14 and up (due to difficulty) - instantly downloadable upon purchase.

This is the instant download. You will have instant access to everything you need to play the game - nothing needs to be shipped, so you avoid shipping fees.

There are four PDF files to download with this game - a host instruction file, printable file, solution key, and an optional free invitation file. You must use Adobe Reader (free software that you can download at Adobe.com) to view the PDF file, as a PDF is an Adobe product.

Murder Mystery Synopsis:
The Snowflake Lodge is hosting an ugly Christmas sweater party again this year. The townspeople of Snow Falls are excited about the holiday celebration, as the lodge is where the who's who of society will flock to show off their not-so-fashionable holiday attire.
Unfortunately, sparks have flown between some of the guests lately with rumors of blackmail, greed, and revenge. However, everyone has high hopes that the holiday spirit will be enough to quench the scandals - at least long enough for everybody to have a good time at the party.
You've received your ticket to the party. Now it's time to hunt for the tackiest holiday sweater you can find. This is where your story begins.

So much fun!! More than expected!!
We had 27 players. I purchased the expansion kit as well. I only assigned 2 players to the news crew from the base game. You could have more but based on my group this worked best. Also you don’t have to use all of them. I selected the best characters to match what fit my group. The ages ranged from 18-52. We had adults and adult kids. It was harder to solve than I thought. Only three people out of group guessed correctly- adding this information to let you know it’s not cheesy and easy!! Lol. Everyone wants to make this an annual event. We loved it’n

10 Birthday Party Success!
This was so much fun. I was a little worried that is was going to be a bit much for 9,10 and 11 year olds... but they did amazing! They got into it and loved all the gossiping and really sat down and tried to figure out who did it! I would recommend this to anyone who has an out going bunch of people. Loved every minute of this!

Fun night
The murder mystery was a fun time for my family and friends. Printing and putting the items together took some time but it was well worth it.

So much fun!!
This was our first murder mystery party. Everything was provided and all we had to do was print, cut and organise. Loved every minute and so did our guests. This is the start of something very exciting!!

Great for family!
This murder mystery game was actually really fun. I have never done one before, let alone, planned one for others. Everyone got into it and some people caught into the killer. Even the kids were interested in the game. We did a cute cat walk after the game to show off our ugly Christmas sweaters.

Fun night
I would order another mystery murder package. We had 18 people from age 18-90. There were any laughs! Everyone got into their characters! We did take breaks between the rounds to eat and just chat. The package is well laid out. Do read through it a few times before the night and assign your characters a few days before so they can read up on them and prepare. That makes it fun!
