Holly Jolly Company Folly Murder Mystery Party Game is a downloadable office Christmas murder mystery party game kit designed for hosts who want a fun, easy-to-run holiday whodunnit set at a chaotic company Christmas party. Use this complete kit for office parties, ugly sweater celebrations, Christmas or holiday gatherings, or any event that needs a mystery-filled game with a festive workplace twist.
ย Setting the Scene
A festive night of cocktails, chaos, and corporate cutthroatery
Itโs the end-of-year holiday party at JingleTech, the novelty tech company known for its tinsel-covered gadgets and snow-globe culture. CEO Kris Krangle is pulling out all the stopsโcatered cider, bonus
envelopes, and even a surprise no one saw coming. Despite the efforts of the arctic inhabitants, productivity is at an all-time low, upsetting many and putting Santaโs legacy at stake.
Thereโll be cocktails, carols, corporate kudos… and just maybe, a killer in the crowd.
Profits are down, layoffs loom, and behind every candy cane smile hides a cutthroat agenda. Could it be the CFO cutting corners? The receptionist denied their retirement moment? The social strategist stealing company time? Or the accountant balancing more than just the books?
When one employee drops dead mid-toast, itโs up to everyone to sleuth through the seasonal sabotage and unwrap the truth..
Join us for a merry night of mingling, motives, and murder. Because this holiday partyโs got everythingโmistletoe, mayhem, and a murder you wonโt want to miss.

YES!ย 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 hostโs 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!
This will depend on (a) the version of party you order and (b) what you/they want to do at the party.
Some murder mystery party game rules say (generally the smaller 6-8 guest and 8-12 guest versions) have the victim rise and become the investigator after their โdeath.โ
Since the victim does not know who murdered them, they can still play along and try to guess the murderer using their previous background knowledge and their money in order to bribe and blackmail others and derive their secrets from one another.
If you have a larger version, and you have not assigned the investigator (they are generally listed as the first person to eliminate for this reason), then the victim will need to become the investigator.
If you have assigned the investigator, but have an extra role that is not already filled, the victim can become this person (if you order the 20-80 player version, this will always be an option).
If the victim wishes to do nothing, theyย can do that as well. Some guests really enjoy playing along โdeadโ and trying to figure out who killed them.

โI purchased the Night Of Mystery packet for a work team building event. All of my co-workers said it was the best team event they’ve been to. The packet was very straightforward and had so many ideas and tips to help make running the event super simple. Highly recommend!โ
โI hosted my first party and I was scared that if anyone could fail such a flawless package it would be myself. But this kit makes it so so easy and fun. Lots of room to make it your own and not cookie cutter, but always super straight forward! I can’t wait to host another onell! Thanks Night of Mystery!โ
โI’ve had three parties over the years. This year we will be doing it again! Normal parties have their groups. High school over there, church over there, family over there. Well with the murder mystery dinner there is none of that. Plus your free to not be you for the night. Every party has been a success! Last one we had over 100 people come.โ
โThis was the BEST team event weโve ever done. It was inclusive, creative, and so easy to execute with your kit. Everyone had a blast!โ
