Murder at the Ugly Sweater Party: A Christmas Murder Mystery Party Kit

Seller's description

FUN and EASY to host and play. Simply print and cut apart the clues.

The Cringle and the Scrooge Families gather for an Ugly Sweater Party to enjoy Christmas and Chris Cringle's last year as Santa before retirement. Holiday drama ensues, and then a murder occurs! The party is broken into three segments in which guests are provided clues and dialogue cues to learn more about 'whodunit'. A murder will occur during the party, and guests will have to share clues in order to solve the mystery! The kit contains host instructions, guest instructions, clues, name tags, character lists, and investigative sheets. 8-20+ guests can participate. The party takes approximately 2 hours and is appropriate for all ages.

How to Play:
During Round 1, guests will receive clues providing backstory and will learn more about the relationships between the characters.

During Round 2, guests will continue to learn about the relationships between other characters and build on the plot. After all guests have been able to converse with each character, the victim will be notified on their clue card to find the host to learn the location of the victim sign and forensic report. The victim will then put on the sign (with tape or a pin) and then can rejoin the party, or for the more adventurous, can find a place to sprawl and allow guests to find them. Guests will then have the opportunity to complete their round 2 clues. After everyone has spoken with each character, the host will provide each guest with an investigative sheet. They will complete this and give to the host.

Round 3 is the Final Solution Round in which the guests receive an alibi to read verbatim. These are read in a set order, indicated on their clues and listed in order on the character list. This is when all guests, including the host, will learn who the murderer is. After each character has read their alibi (or confession), the host can announce who correctly solved the murder. Prizes may be given if the host prefers this.
