Each winter, the Harrisons and the Perrys ski in the French Alps and always rent the Chalet Flaubert. They hire the whole chalet and bring both families and friends.
The holidays are usually an opportunity to relax and unwind away from the pressures of normal life, but this year is different...
This year, there have been arguments and accidents - and heavy snow has blocked the roads.
Tonight, however, real tragedy has struck.
A few minutes ago, John Morgan was found dead at the foot of the attic steps, his neck broken at an unfortunate angle.
Nobody can leave the chalet; and there is no phone or radio...
Did John fall or was he pushed?
The cast of Snow Business consists of the following characters:
The Harrisons
The Perrys
Friends, Family and Strangers
Two of these characters are optional - Snow Business plays equally well with ten, eleven or twelve guests.
Snow Business needs a dedicated host, someone to organise the game (in this case playing the part of Chris Harper, the chalet host).
I really enjoy being the host - you know what's going on and can watch your friends scheme and plot and be devious to one another.

Does Snow Business come with a money-back guarantee?
Yes!
Freeform Games offer a cast-iron guarantee on all their murder mystery games. If you're not completely satisfied with Snow Business then let them know within 30 days and they will refund you.
What age is Snow Business suitable for?
Freeform Games recommends Snow Business for those aged 18+ as it contains the following themes: references to infidelity, and a potential cousin relationship.
How long does Snow Business take to play?
I would allow 3-4 hours to play Snow Business. While the game itself takes 2.5-3 hours to play, I recommend allowing time to introduce the game and wind down after.
Where's my download?
Shortly after buying Snow Business you should receive an email from Freeform Games explaining how to download the game files.
If you haven't received this, please first check your spam filter - sometimes the emails end up there.
If that fails, please get in touch directly with Freeform Games - with the details of which game you bought, when you bought it, and which email address you used. Or contact me (with that same information) and I'll get in touch for you.
How many guests will I need?
You need at least 10 guests and no more than 12.
If you have fewer than 10 guests you will have to drop a character (which may affect the plot), or play a character yourself (not ideal, but I talk about it here), or even ask a guest to play two characters at once.
If you have more than 12 guests you will need to create your own, or use one of the free extra characters provided by Freeform Games when you download Snow Business.
Can I host Snow Business and also play a character?
The host has an important role in Snow Business. The organize and coordinate the party. They also act as an impartial "referee" - so it's important that they have read the game and understand what is going on.
So I recommend not playing a character and hosting the game.
But if you still want to host a game and play a character (or you have to because a player cannot attend), I have advice on doing that here.
Backstage Business - a 1980s rock music themed murder mystery for 18-22 guests.
