Introducing our latest Christmas game, Murder in a Winter Wonderland!

Whether you are looking for a game to entertain the extended family, the perfect party activity to play with friends, or a mystery to suit a work Christmas party, we have the game for you! Murder in a Winter Wonderland is the mystery that’s sure to sleigh, so read on to discover more about the characters, plot, and exciting extras included. We ho-ho-hope you check it out for yourself!

 

Once upon a time…

Our mystery begins at the North Pole, where Santa is throwing his usual pre-launch party to thank all his workers and friends for a good job well done. Little does he know, this Christmas he won’t make his flight! When his body is discovered in the stables Santa’s workshop is in uproar. Who can wrap this nightmare before Christmas up in a bow and catch the killer before events snowball?!

Santa has been murdered and it is up to you to unravel the evidence, ask each other questions, and do all you can to catch the killer red-nosed in this light-hearted Christmas mystery! Complete with a riddle to solve, 9 pieces of evidence, and up to 20 characters to choose from, this Christmas treat yours-elf to Murder in a Winter Wonderland.

 

Check out the characters for yours-elves!

  • The Wife – statistically you are more likely to be killed by your spouse, and the Clauses have their fair share of wedded issues!
  • The Lead Reindeer – famed for his glowing nose and ability to light the way, will Rudolph find the killer or is he trying to keep you in the dark?
  • The Snowman – Frosty by name, could he be the cold-hearted killer?
  • The Explorer – Robert Compass set off looking for the North Pole, but did this character find more than he bargained for?
  • The Toy Maker – making gifts for centuries, has this elf made a mess of it this year?
  • The Gadget Maker – in a modern world, is there still room for good old Santa Claus?
  • The Grinch – steal Christmas once, shame on you, but did he try his luck again?
  • A(nother) Reindeer – Poor Donner doesn’t have nearly the fame of Rudolph, or such a cool name, but is he the cold-blooded killer in this herd?
  • The Sleigh Driver – what, you thought Santa drove hims-elf?
  • The Head Elf-Forcer – it’s not easy being in charge, did he get too big for his britches?

Plus 10 expansion characters from a certain mischievous Elf on a Shelf to a gingerbread man who loves his gumdrop buttons and many more!
