Instant download PDF. Nothing ships; print at home or at a copy shop.

Someone poisoned the gravy, and nobody leaves until the killer is caught. This printable murder mystery turns your Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving dinner into a 3-round whodunit for 8 guests.

THE CASE

Gordon Graves collapsed face-first into the mashed potatoes at 6:50. The poison was in his personal gravy boat. Eight dinner guests each had a reason to want him gone: the private chef he fired, his ex with a spare key, the dentist he owed money, his roommate, his cousin the influencer, the nosy neighbor, his brother, and the town's blue-ribbon baker.
