Thanksgiving Murder Mystery Game: Thanksgiving at Amberfield

Find the Killer Thanksgiving murder mystery: a name elimination detective game with 2,700 suspects and 15 clues.

Thanksgiving Day in the farming town of Amberfield. The whole valley eats together at seven long tables in the Grange barn, and before grace the chair of the supper, Theodora Quill, announces she has found old Abner Whitcombe's lost will. She'll read it at the bonfire. At 4:25 p.m. she is found in the cider house behind the barn, and the sealed envelope is gone. The sheriff checks out all 2,700 guests at the ticket table. Find the killer before the bonfire is lit.

HOW IT WORKS: Every clue describes the killer, and each one comes with a witness quote. Cross out everyone in the register who doesn't fit. Apply all the clues, including a few tricky "if... then" ones, and exactly one name is left. Every case has exactly one answer, and every clue matters.

WHAT YOU GET: the case file in US Letter (56 pages) and A4 (53 pages): an illustrated vintage cover, a friendly how-to from Detective Tofu with a tiny worked example, the story with a map of the scene, who's who, every clue with a witness quote, the full register with a clue tracker and a box to mark on every row, a verdict page and a certificate. Plus a separate solution file (the killer, what really happened, and how many people each clue rules out), so you can't spoil it by accident.

DETAILS: solo or for two; 5-8 hours over several sittings. Black-and-white printing is fine, or solve on a tablet with any pen app. Personal use in one household; please don't share or resell.

Every case is test-solved before it goes in the shop.
