Clue: Advent Calendar - Secrets Under Snowfall

Clue Advent Calendar: Secrets Under Snowfall is a cooperative mystery for 1 or more players that unfolds one puzzle at a time over 24 days. Boddy Black has invited six guests to Tudor Mansion for a winter gala, threatened to expose their secrets, and then turned up dead. Each solved puzzle points to the next door in the calendar and reveals more evidence, until you have enough information to answer the familiar Clue questions: who did it, where, and with what?

A December Mystery Instead of 24 Tiny Chocolates

This is closer to an escape-room puzzle wrapped around a Clue story than it is to a normal game of Clue. The calendar opens into a map of Tudor Mansion and a crime board, and the daily puzzles use codes, visual clues, physical manipulation, and information you have collected along the way.

It is also intentionally a one-time experience. Some materials are folded, written on, or cut while solving the mystery. That is worth knowing before somebody buys it expecting to reset everything for next December.

How the Game Works

Read the next piece of the story, solve the day's puzzle, and use the solution to determine which numbered door should be opened next. Behind the doors are cards, character tokens, clues, and other materials that move the investigation forward.

There are 22 daily puzzles feeding into the larger murder mystery. The included cipher helps crack some of the codes, while the mansion map and crime board provide a place to organize what the group has learned.

Once the evidence is complete, make the final deduction: identify Boddy Black's killer, the location of the murder, and the winter-themed weapon.

• Gives a family or couple a small shared mystery to work on throughout December.
• Uses several kinds of puzzles rather than repeating the same deduction mechanism every day.

• Works solo or cooperatively with a group.
