Synopsis:
Tinsel Town has been at the epicenter of many scandals this year. An organized ring of criminals who call themselves the Christmas Crime Syndicate has been causing chaos and mayhem. They have stolen Christmas trees, robbed banks, blackmailed city leaders, and even slipped defamatory statements into Christmas crackers at holiday parties. In efforts to bring the holiday cheer back, the neighborhood of Holly Hills has come together to organize a block party, and Carroll North has agreed to host. You are unsure if the Christmas cheer can be salvaged, but have decided to attend the gathering, nevertheless. This is where your story begins.
You will receive:
- Host instruction file - including bonus games, player instructions, and a timeline sheet (abbreviated instructions) for your event. Menu suggestions are included with home party instructions.
- 10 character packets (PDF files) to send to your players in advance of the party. They include instructions, a character bio, and three rounds of game play (optional pre-game, round one materials, round two materials).
- Solution keys for the game and game challenge - host can easily play along without spoiling the game.
- Editable text field player contact sheet for pre-game.
- Three videos by Sheriff Cole Stocking to play to start the game, start round two, and give the solution. May be downloaded from your account or streamed from YouTube or streamed from Vimeo. We also give you a password-protected website with the videos.
- Optional alternate ending file to cap off the story-lines after the game.
- Free invitation (optional to use).
- Free pre-game website (optional, but suggested).
- Optional spectator file - if you wish to invite more people to play along in non-suspect/non-roleplay spectator roles - the number is unlimited based upon how many people you believe you can host in a video chat. This is the same file you receive with the expansion pack.
- Host character list for 4 required players - optional to view. If you are playing with 6+ - you won't download this file.

Fantastic Fun but give yourself time to prepare.
My family from three different states had a blast playing the virtual version. Next time I’ll be sure to give each person their character file sooner so they can fully grasp their character.
Our one critic is that once the killer was reviewed no explanation how they did it nor a motive was provided. That would of added to the experience. We will definitely play again. Thanks!

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate you taking the time and are super glad you had a blast. We do keep the solution video brief for time's sake and to end on a high-energy note, but the host instructions direct you to the solution file for the complete breakdown and explanation of everything that happened. No stone is left unturned in that answer key! Next time be sure to view that and go over it with your players if you have the time! Debbie Welton on Dec 8th 2021 -
Best Holiday Party Ever!
I was looking for a super creative idea for our 2020 holiday party that everyone could have fun with despite COVID restrictions. When I found this, I was so excited! Everyone enjoyed the game so much and I got raving reviews afterward. You have to have the right group of people who are willing to get into character for really take the game to the next level. I tried to play both a character and the host that that was extremely difficult and I don't recommend it, but overall it was a great experience! Unknown on Jan 22nd 2021

Tons of fun!
With Christmas under quarantine and isolation, we decided to play this Christmas themed murder mystery virtual zoom game. We all had so many laughs and so much fun. Our family went above and beyond on their costumes and all played their character roles perfectly. We had a bit of a tough time guessing who done it...as we were all suspects! Mona on Jan 12th 2021
