Christmas Murder Mystery Games

A murder mystery solves the classic Christmas problem: a house full of relatives and friends who do not otherwise have much to talk about. Everyone gets a character and a secret, so the quiet cousin and the loud uncle are playing the same game. The winter settings below give the story a natural reason nobody can leave, and because each game is written to your exact guest list, it works for a family of six or an office party of thirty.
