Mystery Synopsis:
Christmas City, nestled in the North Pole, celebrates Christmas year-round. Highlights include Santa’s Workshop, the world’s largest toy store, The Gingerbread Shop for fashionable Christmas couture, and the awe-inspiring Winter Wonderland Amusement Park. Don’t miss The Egg Noggery, famed for its gingerbread cookies and eggnog. The city, with top-notch ski slopes, is a favorite vacation spot for the rich and famous.
Noel’s Tavern is the local hotspot where residents unwind. It hosts the annual Christmas Jamboree, celebrating the town's hardworking laborers. This year’s guest list promises the biggest celebration yet. However, the city is shaken by the recent murder of Old Saint Nick on Snowball Street. With an intense investigation underway, suspicion runs high among the townspeople.
Mayor Rudolph has urged everyone to keep the holiday spirit alive, insisting the annual bash at Noel’s Tavern continue in Santa’s honor. You’ve RSVP’d and have your holiday outfit ready. Your story begins here.

Always a fun event
The characters are fun. And premise is entertaining. I always tweak the format a bit because it suits our group better. I do an introductory round where we go around and each person introduces him/her self to group with a prewritten line or two. This will be our group’s 4th murder mystery and a party that everyone looks forward to. (We actually won’t be doing this party until Jan 2022…the house will still be decorated from Christmas). Also I have found that it is easier if my husband and I don’t take an official role. For this one I will be Noel and he will be the bartender.

Very Entertaining!
We had a blast with this mystery! Only thing I could say negative was the instructions were unclear at times on the order of events. Made hosting a little difficult. Other than having to wing a couple times it was awesome! ------------------------------------------------------------ FROM MY MYSTERY PARTY STAFF: We hate to hear the instructions were not clear. We'll be contacting you for more details. We are glad you had a blast! Thank you for your feedback!

Super Fun!
Highly recommended distraction in this (covid) time of reduced sized gatherings. Boosted everyone's spirits, even a week.in advance thanks to pre-game tasks, costume and menu suggestions

Who Slayed Santa
I ordered this for a company Christmas party and it was a hit. The only reason I am giving this a 4 star is for this reason: I think you should have a blank line where it tells you to hide the victim sign & murder weapon so that people have the option to decide where to hide it and so that the victim knows where to grab it as well. Our office has bathrooms (like the instruction) but our bathrooms are not co-ed and with having both males and females playing this game with trying to keep everything a surprise, it was hard to place the objects. Other than that, the game itself was very organized and everyone had fun! ------------------------------------------------------------- From My Mystery Party Staff: We truly appreciate your feedback! Glad you enjoyed yourself at the party! We're always here via email/phone to give you options when you meet a stumbling block such as having co-ed restrooms. We've come across company parties with co-ed bathrooms and have seen that making a simple announcement at the start of round two for the victim to contact one of the hosts to find out where the kit will be is a quick and easy fix. And, the host can play without knowing the victim until round two.

Very enjoyable
Loved playing this game! Certainly one I would recommend, but would also recommend people really get into the detective element, it was definately for serious people!

christmas in july
I had a Christmas in July party with the Who Slayed Santa murder mystery theme. SOOO much fun! All the instructions were thorough and easy to follow. The characters were interesting and fun and the story line was easy to follow. Also loved the bonus games included. We even had my 85 year old grandma up and doing the elf and reindeer dance challenge! Recommend MyMysteryParty to everyone! I am planning on buying a scavenger hunt from this site as well to do at our annual family campout! Fun for all ages!!

GREAT
Great time! Great game! Great party overall. Couldn't be happier! Thank you to this company - will not go anywhere else. Thought the kit was easy to assemble, it had enough character roles for us and everyone felt included since they had someone to play during the game. Great ending!

I know who slayed Santa!
It's fun. We played all bonus games and the party took about 4 hours. Love that there were two mysteries, and everybody had a great time!
