Christmas Murder Mystery Party Game
A printable whodunit for 8 to 12 guests: a snowed-in lodge on Christmas Eve, a host found in the library, and a secret for everyone.
Each puzzle is a short row of emoji that spells out something Christmassy: a carol, a tradition, a character or a phrase. Players write their guesses on the sheet, then swap and mark with the answer key.
The rounds get a little harder as you go, so younger players can shine early and adults still have something to think about. It also works on a shared screen for a video call party.
