THE STORY
What awaits your team
A blizzard rolled in Friday night and snowed the Wintervald Hotel in by Saturday morning. The lift is down, the road won't clear until Monday, and one of the guests didn't make it through the night. Police can't get up the mountain. The hotel staff called your team because somebody on the property has to start asking questions before whoever did it gets a head start.
Four stages, classic locked-room logic. Your team works the rooms, runs the interrogations, sweeps the dining hall where the body was found, and follows the trail out into the snow toward the family cemetery on the property. Each stage narrows the suspect list.
Name the killer before the road clears. Or let them walk down the mountain ahead of you.
GAME STAGES
Inside the experience — 4 stages
Stage 1
The Hotel
Walk the floors, knock on doors, look in the places guests don't expect to be looked. Each room you sweep adds a piece — a missing item, an open suitcase, a guest who is suddenly very interested in talking.
Stage 2
The Interrogation Room
Six suspects, limited questions per round, and at least one suspect who knows when you're bluffing. Your team picks every question carefully, weighs every answer, and figures out who is lying about what — without burning your only chances to ask.
Stage 3
The Dining Room
The crime scene itself. Reconstruct what happened across last night's dinner service — who sat where, who left when, what was on the menu, and which detail nobody wants you to notice. Solve the puzzle in the room and a hidden door opens.
Stage 4
The Cemetery
Out behind the hotel, the family plot. The final twist is buried here — literally, in some versions of the case. Your team puts the clues together, tests the theory, and either names the killer or watches the snow start falling again.

MAKE IT YOURS
Customize Wintervald Hotel Mystery for your team
Three layers of customization. Make the game distinctly yours.
TYPE 1
Your team as the snowed-in investigators
The arriving guest list is your real org chart. The hotel concierge greets your CEO by name; the new hire gets the room next to the suspect with the loudest snore. Adds a layer of recognition the whole game leans on.
TYPE 2
Your brand as the hotel itself
Wintervald rebrands as your company-themed retreat. Logo on the towels, your colors in the lobby, your tagline on the welcome card. The hotel becomes your space for the duration.
TYPE 3
Your team legends as the guest backstories
Suspect motives get woven from internal team stories — the famous all-nighter, the project nobody mentions, the legendary off-site decision. Whoever was at the center of that story now has a reason to be on the suspect list.
