A family is gathered for a cozy celebration, but everyone looks miserable! What happened here? Who are these people (and pets)?! And why are they so unhappy?!?

From the family dog to the grumpy grandma, peek inside their unfortunate lives and investigate the events leading up to the party.

Scour each silly scene for clues that point to identities, motives, and misadventures. Then use your deductive skills to fill-in-the-blanks and put your conclusions to the test!

These poor people (and pets) just want someone to understand their misfortune. Uncover the mystery of the worst day ever and make everyone happy again!

Happy solving!
