About this case
The annual Ellison Digital holiday party has everything: an open bar, a Secret Santa pile under the tree, and a CEO who brings his grandmother's eggnog in an engraved silver thermos every December. Moments after raising his traditional toast — and minutes before the gift exchange — Douglas Ellison collapses on the twelfth-floor lounge carpet. The office blames a catering mix-up with his famous nut allergy. The medical examiner blames murder. Every name on the guest list has a reason: the ambitious VP everyone expects to take over, the operations manager passed over three times, the intern whose big idea built the company's hottest product, the receptionist who knows every secret in the building, the IT admin who reads every email, and the executive assistant the rumor mill won't leave alone. Follow the keycard logs, the party montage video, and a toast that was never finished. One of your coworkers is a killer — name them before the last gift is opened.
Setting: Office Holiday Party, 2025
