Recommendation for 12 person Murder Mystery DInner?

Do you have a recommendation for a 12 person Murder Mystery Dinner (11 people plus the host)? We are going to a cottage for New Year's Eve and want to play.

My response:

I've written extensively on how to choose a suitable game on this page: Choosing a Murder Mystery Party Game.

However, to summarise the process:

First decide how many guests you are going to have. That's the most important criteria, as that will affect all the other decisions.

(The games come with a range of characters. I recommend picking a party where you are using most of the characters.)

Then, once you know how many people are coming, you can look at the games. In your case, you have eleven guests.
