Do not purchase this expansion pack without first purchasing the main game of The Thanksgiving Saboteur, a virtual, family-friendly, non-murder mystery party.
This instant-download expansion pack adds 4 optional character roles to the main game, increasing the number of assigned roles from 12 to 16 players. All four roles are gender flexible and may be added in any combination.

How the Expansion Pack Works
After purchasing the main game and expansion pack, the host assigns the four additional roles as needed and sends each expansion player their individual character packet by email or text message. The expansion character packets follow the same structure and pagination as the main-game packets. This allows the host to keep all players on the same page and guide everyone through the game together.
What Is Included?
- Host instruction file with directions for adding the expansion roles to the main game
- 4 individual character packets provided as PDF files for the host to send to the assigned players
- Expansion pack host character list with role descriptions and suggested attire
- Editable player contact sheet for organizing the expansion roles and pre-game communication
- Free printable expansion invitation (on main game site)
- Free expansion-inclusive player pre-game website (above)
- Spectator file for additional non-suspect, non-roleplaying players
- Optional alternate endings file to conclude the expansion players’ storylines
Playing With More Than 16 Players
The main game and expansion pack (sold separately) provide up to 16 assigned character roles. The included spectator file allows additional players to follow the mystery without adding more suspect storylines.
Spectator players receive materials that follow the same pagination as the character packets, helping everyone remain on the same page throughout the game. This makes it possible to include significantly larger groups without making the central investigation overly complicated.
