Ho Ho Homicide

With the Christmas season well on its way, everyone at the North Pole is
working hard to make this a holiday to remember.
Despite the efforts of the arctic inhabitants, productivity is at an all-time low,
upsetting many and putting Santa’s legacy at stake.
Desperate for a change, there are many who are willing to do almost anything to
increase efficiency and restore peace at the North Pole. But only one who will go too
far and commit an act of murder in this mystical place.
Will it be the audacious elf who believes they could run the workshop better?
The remorseful reindeer ready to hide their secrets? Or possibly the
unwavering wife who will do anything to protect her family through any ordeal?
As you join together for the Holly, Jolly Christmas party
you will mingle with magical guests.
In the end, you will need to decipher between the evil and the innocent,
the righteous and the responsible, the naughty and the nice, to make
sure a criminal is caught!
We have a virtual version of this mystery that can be played in an online platform!
– Be sure the “Virtual” button is selected when purchasing.

Since our games are custom written for the size of the party (ie, we don’t just create a mystery with 8 characters and then keep adding more characters to it), each mystery size is unique unto itself. That being said, going from 10-15 version to 15-20 version, will not only add in more characters, but it will change the storylines of the existing characters, and vice-versa in going from a larger version to a smaller one. Because of this, WE STRONGLY SUGGEST you get a guest count before formally ordering. You can do so by downloading an invitation, inviting your guests and then purchasing your mystery once you have a more accurate number of people attending. Unfortunately, if you find yourself purchasing the wrong sized party, you will have to purchase another version of the mystery for the size you want unless you are moving from the 15-20 version to the 20+ version. You can download an invitation here before ordering.
