SYNOPSIS:
The North Pole has entered a state of chaos and turmoil. It's two days before Christmas and Santa Claus has been kidnapped! The Chief Operations Officer of Santa's Workshop has called an urgent meeting at Santa's Cottage to investigate what happened and to put a search party together to find Santa Claus. Since he disappeared earlier this afternoon, the Christmas spirit has drastically diminished around the world. Hosts are canceling holiday parties, cities are denying permits for parades, prices in retail stores are skyrocketing, Christmas trees are browning without explanation, and children are flipping over to the Naughty List at record-breaking rates. If this continues, nobody will even care about Christmas by the time it gets here! You are a resident of the North Pole and might have information on Santa’s disappearance. You will attend this meeting with bells on. 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). These have scripted dialogue, clues for sharing, and points for discussion.

Other Details
Minimum age: 10 and up for difficulty. If you have smaller children play along, that would be fine with someone to assist them. Number of players: 6-13 (can be played with 4-5, but you'll need to have the packets available for the missing required players.) Gender: All characters are gender flexible. Expandable or expansion pack?: No, 10 character roles is the max for this game. Have others play as characters of the North Pole if you need more. The optimal number of 'characters' in a virtual game is 10 or less, but you can have additional spectators play along. -
