Setting the Scene
A Very Unmerry Murder
A frosty festival where merriment meets murder.
High above the hustle of the human world, nestled beneath shimmering auroras and sparkling snowdrifts, the North Pole is preparing for its grand Winter Festival. Sleigh bells ring, cocoa flows, and legends of the season gather for an evening of celebration.
But beneath the peppermint polish and pine-scented splendor, tension trembles like thin ice.
With modernization looming, sugar quotas stirring resentment, and whispers of an AI-powered sleigh threatening to cut the reindeer roster, not everyone is feeling holly and jolly. Elves are anxious. Reindeer are restless. Influencers are angling for advantage. And winter itself feels at risk.
Before the final carol crescendos, one guest will meet a chilling end.
Will it be the ambitious executive reshaping Christmas?
The sugar-spun fairy furious over festive cutbacks?
The spotlight-seeking sleigh star desperate to stay in the sky?
Or a winter warrior determined to stop change at any cost?
As snow settles over scandal, the guilty will mingle among garlands and gingerbread, and it will be up to you to separate festive facts from frosty falsehoods.
Bundle up for a blizzard of betrayal, a flurry of finger-pointing, and one Very Unmerry Murder at the North Pole Winter Festival.

No experience? No problem. Night of Mystery parties are specifically designed with first-time hosts in mind. Everything is laid out step-by-step—from invitations to party flow—so you’ll always know exactly what to do next.
Most hosts are surprised by how easy it is to run—and how quickly guests get into character and take over the fun. You can even play along as a character if you’d like! Just review the host guide ahead of time, follow the simple instructions, and then sit back and enjoy watching the mystery unfold.
Excellent Question! And one that needs more explaining, please see the “How to Play” Page of our site and/or download a preview file to get a complete understanding of how our mysteries are run!
Absolutely. We make it easy with two types of downloadable invites:
Before you purchase:
Use our RSVP invitations to invite guests and confirm your headcount (we highly recommend this step!)
After you purchase:
You’ll receive email-ready invitations that include each guest’s character description, so you can assign roles and send everything out in just a few clicks.
YES! As host, you get to decide how much or little you know about the murder.
If you want to play along, you will want to read the host’s guide in full to ensure that you are setting the game up correctly WITHOUT letting you know who the murderer is in this murder mystery party game!
In most Night of Mystery parties, the victim doesn’t sit out—they become the investigator for the second half of the game!
Since the victim doesn’t know who killed them, they can jump right back into the action—questioning suspects, gathering clues, and trying to solve their own murder.
