Murder at the Alpine Lodge

What’s inside

• Host Guide with the rules, round-by-round narration and the solution (for the host only)
• One character file per guest, with a public page, a secret and personal goals
• Evidence Cards to print and cut out, a Case Sheet for every guest and an Invitation to send ahead
• Solution file to open after the final vote
• Party Extras: name tags, award certificates, signs, a menu card and tips for music, lights, food and dress
• Every size in US Letter and A4, each as a Colour Edition and a Printer-Friendly Edition (12 downloads in all)

Three sizes in one purchase

Every size uses the same story, so you can pick the right one on the day.

How to play

1. Choose the size that fits your guest list: Mini, Classic or Grand.
2. Send the Invitation a week or two before the party, then send each guest only their own character file.
3. Print the Case Sheets and cut out the Evidence Cards. There is nothing to assemble.
4. On the night, the host reads the narration round by round while guests mingle, trade clues and chase their goals.
5. Everyone writes their answers on the Case Sheet and votes. Then the host opens the solution and hands out the awards.

Who it’s for

Made for adult dinner parties, birthdays, winter and holiday parties, and groups of friends who like dressing up. Teens 14+ can play too. Loud 1970s ski sweaters are encouraged but optional.

Printing tips

Print single-sided on plain paper. The Printer-Friendly Edition uses light backgrounds and saves ink; the Colour Edition looks best on screen or on a colour printer. You can also mix: read on tablets and print only the pages you want to hold.
