Snow Business
Snow Business is an interactive murder mystery party for 10-12 guests (plus one host) published by Freeform Games.
Each winter, the Harrisons and the Perrys ski in the French Alps and always rent the Chalet Flaubert. They hire the whole chalet and bring both families and friends. The holidays are usually an opportunity to relax and unwind away from the pressures of normal life, but this year is different...

This year, there have been arguments and accidents - and heavy snow has blocked the roads. Tonight, however, real tragedy has struck. A few minutes ago, John Morgan was found dead at the foot of the attic steps, his neck broken at an unfortunate angle. Nobody can leave the chalet; and there is no phone or radio...
Did John fall or was he pushed? Is there a murderer in Chalet Flaubert? Find out in Snow Business.

Two of these characters are optional - Snow Business plays equally well with ten, eleven or twelve guests.
Snow Business needs a dedicated host, someone to organise the game. I really enjoy being the host - you know what's going on and can watch your friends scheme and plot and be devious to one another.
