Where were you at 11:47 pm?
One PDF, six players including the host, two hours of play. Everyone gets a role, a secret and an alibi to defend. The host plays like everyone else without knowing the solution: only the killer knows who did it, and the solution stays sealed until the vote.

The evening of Midnight at Grouse Lodge, as the host reads it at the start of the game.
One game per holiday. Each one plays once per group of friends: once the killer is unmasked, the case is closed.
New Year’s Eve
December 31, a mountain lodge cut off by snow
Augustin Valcourbe, the king of supermarket raclette, has promised two announcements after midnight. He drains his family glass on the last stroke of twelve and collapses twelve minutes later. The road is closed, the phones are dead. One of you six poured the poison.

Prints on Letter or A4, black and white is fine. You need ten envelopes: six with the character names, four marked 1, 2, 3 and S.
Plan on two hours of play after drinks. The host reads the rules and the prologue, then the evening runs in three acts. Each act opens a clue envelope, and everyone reads, alone, the next part of their booklet.
Who knows the killer?
Yes, that is how our games are built. Nobody runs the game from the outside: the host hands out roles without knowing which one is the killer’s, and the host guide does not say. Only the killer knows, from their own booklet.
Clues arrive in envelopes at set times, and the solution waits in envelope S until the vote. Everyone plays, the host included, and everyone learns the ending at the same moment.
Six, no more, no fewer: every role matters to the case. All six roles work for any gender; the names are unisex.
About two hours of play, plus arrival and dinner. The host guide gives the length of each act.
The host guide, the six booklets, the clue cards, the solution, the ballots and the name tags. Letter or A4, black and white is fine.

No. The games are written for adults: a murder, secrets, a few glasses of champagne.
