As the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, 1920, Lady Eleanor Snow was found dead in the library of her sprawling English manor, her body left in a macabre tableau that baffled investigators. The case was never solved. Five years later, her heirs gather at Snow Manor to toast her memory, each carrying the weight of secrets and scandals that have unraveled since her death. But as a blizzard traps them within the village, a second murder shakes the estate to its core. Shadows of the past mingle with fresh surprises, and one thing becomes clear: the killer is among them. This script has a classic 1920s "Cozy Detective Mystery" feel to it, in the vein of Agatha Christie, Clue, or Knives Out. This game includes some light romance elements, so if there are couples in your group, the characters below have suggested roles to pair with.

I had no experience playing Jubensha prior to this and I had a lot of fun. If you enjoy roleplaying--and even if you're roleplaying curious--and if you like mystery games, either escape rooms or table top games like Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, you'll probably really enjoy this. I definitely want to play their other Jubensha experiences. It's just the nature of Jubensha, but one thing that keeps me from playing more games is how hard it is to find a specific number of adults and get them to actually show up at a set time. Maybe in the future, they'll be able to accommodate last minute switches, but I can understand how problematic that would be from an operator standpoint. My one gripe is the Dream Machine. For a Rabbit Hole experience, it was underwhelming. I had dreams of projection mapping or more custom built scenery. It was... not that. It did add to the experience, but it felt below their typically market-defining standards. The props, with the exception of one, seemed superfluous. And even that one was a little too plain, or small, or just a little off for really capturing the imagination. At $80pp, I would do it again as a special occasion with the right group of people, but I can't recommend it for everyone. If it cost less($65pp?)--or, strangely, if it cost more (for a more enhanced Dream Machine experience and maybe some adult beverages thrown in)--I could see myself coming back more often with a wider range of friends. But if roleplaying slightly edgy Agatha Christie style mysteries are your thing--you'll love this.
