Browse the kits How it works — FAQThe fastest way a mystery night dies is clue logic that doesn't hold together — a culprit nobody could have found, or three culprits the clues can't separate. So before any kit here goes on sale, it passes four checks: a full logic matrix (the solution is uniquely determined, every red herring is a deliberate red herring, nothing contradicts), two independent cold-solve passes — two solvers work the kit from the clues alone, with no outside knowledge, and both must reach the same culprit — plus an adversarial pass that tries to convict the strongest innocent suspect and must fail, a character-balance pass (every character has a secret, a reveal, and a reason to be suspected), and minimum-cast and host-as-player runs. If a kit fails any check, it doesn't ship.
Murder at the Mistletoe Gala has passed all of it — cold-solved twice and adversarially tested on the exact text that ships. A Shot in the Dark, Murder at the Reunion, and the free mini-mystery are in that final verification pass now. No kit goes on sale here until it passes.
Sales are briefly paused while we complete a final verification pass — join the free mini-mystery list to be notified at reopening.

Setup checklist, timeline, casting guide, and spoiler-safe instructions — the host can take a character and play along.
One per character: background, secrets, costume hints, per-round objectives, and scripted reveals.
Physical/searchable clues plus character-revealed clues, mapped on a clue matrix so the solution is earned, not guessed.
Invitations, name cards, suspect/evidence board, awards certificates (best actor, best detective), solution envelope, and a dramatic reveal script.
The Locked Study — a free 6-player mini-mystery, about 40 minutes, 28 pages — is built to the same cold-solve standard as the full kits: two independent solvers work it from the clues alone and must reach the same culprit, and an adversarial pass must fail to convict the strongest innocent. The mini is in its final verification pass now and returns with the reopening — join the list and your copy is reserved by email.
These are digital downloads, and sales are final — with one promise that matters: if a kit ever contains a verified logic error, the buyer who reports it gets a refund or a replacement, and the kit is pulled and fixed for every buyer. A mystery that can't be solved fairly isn't a product, it's a defect — and we treat it that way. Full details in the FAQ.
