Overview
Murder at Evergreen Lodge takes your guests to a mountain lodge on Christmas Eve, where the snow has closed the roads and the generous host has been found dead beside a mug of eggnog. Every guest plays a character with a reason to be in that library and a secret of their own.
The game runs over drinks, dinner and dessert in three rounds. Players share one clue per round, the host lays out new evidence, and at the end everyone votes before the solution is read out. Any character can be played by anyone, and the host can join in too.

Questions
How does a murder mystery party work?
Each guest plays a character with a secret. Over three rounds everyone shares clues, the host reveals evidence, and at the end you vote on who did it before the host reads the solution.
How many people do you need?
Eight main characters are needed for the story. Four optional guests let you play with up to 12.
Can the host play too?
Yes. The host can take a character, as long as they don't read the other character pages or the solution before the end.
Is it suitable for kids?
It's written for teens and adults. There's nothing graphic, but the story centers on a murder.
How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
