☆ WHO SLEIGHED SANTA? ☆
A Festive Murder Mystery Dinner Party Game for 6-14 players
Santa has relocated! After generations based at the North Pole, Santa has transferred his secret village to somewhere totally unexpected, Buckingham Palace in London. Surely, no-one would think to look for him there? But not all are happy about the move and things come to a head when the big man in red goes missing on one of his sleigh flights. What could have become of him?
Sabotage is suspected - but who could have done him in? It must have been one of the guests invited to your murder event. Meanwhile the secret village is in paralysis. The mystery must be solved - or Santa won't be delivering Christmas presents this year...
This is a festive murder mystery game supplied as ready to print Microsoft Word pdf files on a CD or USB flash drive. Suitable for family use, the immersive game has interesting plot lines with plenty to keep players guessing 'whodunnit' right until the very end. Running time is 1½ - 2½ hours.
The supplied files print:
Character script booklets for your guests, invitations, complete party setup instructions, name tags, various evidence, a choice of murder confessions and extras to help turn your chosen venue into a room at Buckingham Palace.
You will need access to a printer, 65+ sheets of printer paper, a stapler and maybe some sticky stuff (Pritt stick?) The printed game functions much the same as a boxed murder mystery.
The characters:
|
Katya Claus (F): | You are Santa Claus' new wife, delighted he has relocated his magical village away from the frozen arctic North Pole to a far more welcoming home in London, England. Still, anywhere's better than the Moscow tenement where you grew up... Nazdrovia! |
