Murder Mystery Party Game "A Quiet Anniversary" - 6-8 players, 2 hours
A QUIET ANNIVERSARY
A murder mystery party game for 6-8 players
A country house, a snowstorm, the 60th birthday of a publishing house owner. At 22:40 the host of the party dies in his study. The road is buried in snow and nobody has arrived or left since eight in the evening. Which means the murderer is sitting at this table.
Every guest gets a role: a public story everyone knows, and a secret nobody does. For one of them, the secret is that they did it.
WHAT IS INSIDE
8 characters with motives and private secrets (6 required plus 2 for a larger party)
12 clues the host reveals across three rounds
A complete host script: what to say, when to reveal a clue, what to ask when the conversation stalls
A two-page resolution written to be read aloud like the last chapter of a detective novel
A print version: character cards and clues on separate sheets
HOW IT WORKS
1. Open the file - it runs in any browser, on a phone or a laptop.
2. Set how many people are playing.
3. Pass the device around - each guest reads their role in private.
4. Then run the evening from the screen: three rounds, a vote, the reveal.
Nothing to install. No internet needed.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
The case is genuinely solvable. Alibis are checked minute by minute, every suspect has their own window of time, and the murderer follows from three logical steps rather than a guess. A player paying attention can work it out. A player holding the murderer´s card can fight back.
A second red herring is built in on purpose: one innocent character has no alibi at all, and they are the one who gets accused. Almost every time.

Thank you for your purchase!
Save the file and open it with a double click - it runs in your browser. Works offline, play as many times as you like.
HOST TIP: read the "How it works" screen before your guests arrive, it takes four minutes. And hand everyone paper and a pen - half the fun is writing down who said what and catching the contradictions.
