Fatal Fa-La-La: A Deadly Holiday Office Party Mystery. It's the Evergreen & Pine Co. holiday party. The eggnog is spiked, the playlist is questionable and the sweaters are tragic. Then the boss raises a mug for the holiday toast, takes a sip, and never gets up. Your guests are the suspects, and every one of them is wearing an ugly sweater. Can they find the killer before the party's over?

A printable office Christmas party murder mystery for coworkers, friends and family (adults and teens 13+). Guests play gender-neutral office characters, trade gossip over 3 rounds, read clue cards, and vote on whodunit. The company and characters are fictional, so nobody plays their real job.

Why hosts love it

- Nobody knows the killer, not even the killer. The truth arrives in Round 3 in a Confidential Memo that folds shut straight off the printer (no cutting, no peeking), so the host can play too.

- 4 sealed endings, 4 different killers. Draw one at random and print only that packet. Replay with the same group next year.

- Every role is gender-neutral, and every character page has costume ideas: an easy closet version and an all-out ugly sweater.

- Work-friendly: PG-13, no gore, no swearing, nothing explicit.

- Fair and solvable: every ending is logic-checked so the clues point to exactly one suspect.
