Which mystery party?

by Stacet
(Alberta)

For our Christmas party this year, I would like to host a murder mystery. It is for 33 people, OR nurses and surgeons.

Which murder mystery would be the best or do you have another suggestion? The Auction, Hollywood Lies or something else?

My response:

The Auction and Hollywood Lies are both good games (Hollywood Lies even has a festive variant - Christmas Lies) and suitable for beginners.

I suggest you pitch the theme to your audience and see which one they would prefer - an auction, or a game set in Hollywood.
