Ugly Christmas Sweater Murder Mystery Game Synopsis:
The Snowflake Lodge is once again hosting its legendary Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, the most anticipated holiday event in Snow Falls. Each year, the who’s who of local society gathers at the lodge to flaunt their most outrageously tacky sweaters, mingle with friends, exchange gossip, and celebrate the season.
This year, however, tensions are running high beneath the tinsel and twinkling lights. Whispers of blackmail, greed, and revenge have spread throughout town. Sparks are flying, and they are not the kind coming from the yule log.
Some predict chaos is inevitable, while others hope the holiday spirit will keep the drama under wraps long enough for everyone to enjoy the party.
You have secured your ticket, and now it is time to hunt down the most hideous, over-the-top Christmas sweater you can find. Prepare yourself for a whirlwind of secrets, scandals, and festive mayhem. This is where your story begins.

Standard vs. Spoiler-Free Assembly
Standard Version
The standard version requires light assembly before the party. The host must fold and insert the cards for Rounds 1, 2, and 3 into the corresponding labeled envelopes.
Spoilers are limited to the Round 2 and Round 3 card bundles. If the host wishes to avoid seeing them, a trusted person who is not playing may fold and insert those cards. The remaining kit will still arrive prepared without exposing the host to spoilers.
Spoiler-Free Version
With the Spoiler-Free (Party-Ready) Preparation Option, the Round 1, 2, and 3 clue & solution cards are professionally folded and inserted into their designated envelopes, allowing the host to prepare for and host the party without any fear of viewing the spoiler content.
Pre-game character materials are not inserted into envelopes. This allows the host to add the players' contact information on the task cards while they are still arranged in a convenient stack, rather than removing them from envelopes and reinserting them afterward.
Included Assembly in Both Versions
Certain materials are inserted into their designated envelopes in every boxed kit, when applicable. These may include:
- Blackmail notes and other special messages
- Victim signs
- Forensic reports
- Scavenger hunt materials
- Other game-specific surprise items
Keep each bundle of envelopes together according to its label, such as Round 1, Round 2, or Round 3. Some envelopes may already contain game-specific materials, even when the remaining cards still require insertion.
With the standard kit, if an item has already been placed inside a designated character’s envelope, tuck it inside that character’s folded clue card before returning the card to the envelope. This helps ensure the player sees the additional item when the round begins.
Envelopes Are Not Sealed
Envelopes are left unsealed in both versions. This allows the host to review or adjust the materials if necessary, such as when a guest cancels at the last minute, and the host needs to confirm that all vital characters remain assigned.
The host may seal the envelopes before gameplay, but sealing is optional.

I used the Ugly Christmas sweater as an activity for a 16 yr old's Birthday Party. This activity work for the entire group whos ages16 to 72. Everyone had a great time, we altered the times just a little, everything was spot on and easy to set up. We are talking about doing another murder mystery next year.
This was the second murder mystery party we have hosted- both through my mystery party, we had learned several things after the first party so this one was so much fun. The story line if fun, and all the UGLY sweaters that arrived to match the characters was so fun. We had added a couple last minute guest, I emailed and was sent the info I needed and was able to add them in and they never knew.
Thank you much for another wonderful party. Have already picked out the next one.
This game was so much fun! I have hosted 3 My Mystery Party games in the past and I am a huge fan, but I was skeptical when I was asked to do this for our office Christmas party. We had 17 attendees all women except 1 poor male so we women stepped into full character for some of the male roles, wearing mustaches and all. The game definitely worked as a team building activity, with all the mingling and working together to find out who did it. The ugly sweater theme was an absolute hit! The characters were very entertaining. My team loved it and praised me for doing all the work but I didn't have to do much because My Mystery Party did all the hard work for me! It was my first time ordering the pre-packaged party pack and I was very impressed - it was organized and packaged so professionally. I hope my office asks me to host another game next year!
I have purchased other mysteries and this is well put together
