Office Christmas Party Game, Murder Mystery Party Kit, 17-30 Players, Victorian Christmas Mystery, Team Building, Host Plays Too

YOUR CHRISTMAS. YOUR GUESTS. YOUR MURDER.

A complete Victorian Christmas murder mystery party for 17–30 players, written around the people you invite. Every guest's name is printed on their character card, name badge, table card, invitation and booklet — and the clues mention your guests by name. You play too: the killer is chosen by us, sealed in an envelope, and you find out at the reveal together with everyone else.

★ THIS LISTING: 17-30 GUESTS (GALA)
Core and optional roles + group roles: carol singers, kitchen staff, the relations, the workshop apprentices, the mummers. Nobody gets a "spare" part, and the host plays too.
Planning a different number of guests? This game also comes in Dinner (4-8 guests), Party (9-16 guests) and XL Event (31-50 guests) — each size has its own listing in our shop.

★ THE STORY
Christmas Eve, 1888. Hollyfield Manor is snowed in. Lord Barnaby Hollyfield, the stingy king of Hollyfield's Toys, locks himself in the library with a cup of hot wassail — and never comes down for the midnight candles. A secret sale, an old patent, a gambling debt and one single track of footprints in the fresh snow. Three rounds, sixteen clues, one killer. Logically solvable from the clues (we check every game by script).

★ WHAT YOU GET (personalized PDFs, US Letter AND A4)
• Character booklet for every guest (6 pages: who you are, relationships with your real guests, secret, goal, round-by-round tasks) — print version + phone version
• Tarot-size character cards (2.75 × 4.75") with Victorian portraits + separate secret cards
• 16 clue cards in 3 rounds + envelope labels
• Host script (no spoilers!) with timeline, read-aloud texts and who gets which clue
• Sealed solution + the murderer's confession
• Invitations: phone image (1080 × 1920) + printable 5 × 7" card for every guest
• Party pack: table cards, name badges, ballots, detective's notebook, menu card, drink labels, carol playlist card, thank-you cards, 5 award certificates, 6 photo booth signs
• BONUS: "The Hollyfield Gazette" — an 1888 newspaper front page with your guests' portraits and names
• Ink-saver versions of cards and booklets
