Who Crashed Christmas?
A Fun Xmas Whodunnit Dinner Party Game for 6-14 players
After generations based at the North Pole, Kris Kringle has relocated his secret Krismas Village to a picturesque valley in Switzerland. But clearly not all are happy about the move. Soon after settling in Kris Kringle fails to return from a sleigh and reindeer combo orientation flight. What's become of him?
Kris Kringle's legendary powers usually protect him - there must be some serious mischief afoot. Only one of the guests invited to your murder event could have done the deed. If the big man in red fails to reappear, what will become of Krismas Village? Can anyone else effectively take over the reins? If the children are to get their presents this year, the mystery of his disappearance must be solved!
This is an original murder mystery game, supplied as ready to print pdf files emailed to your email address. Suitable for friends and family, the game has interesting plot lines with plenty of emerging 'secrets' to keep players guessing 'whodunit' right to the very end. Running time is 1½ - 2 hours.

The files supplied will print character booklet scripts for your guests, invitations, complete setup instructions, name tags, various evidence, a choice of murder confessions, and extra items to help turn your chosen venue into a magical Krismas Village.
You will need 50-65 sheets of printer paper and a stapler.
The characters:
Merrie Mistletoe (F):
You are a seventh grade school teacher at Idaho Sunny Hill High. For a laugh, you started up an Instagram site devoted to Christmas. Crazily, your hits have gone stratospheric – into the millions. Just WHAT is going on….
Bonnie Noelle (F):
You are Kris Kringle’s new girlfriend. Apart from the fact that he’s extremely rich, you know precious little else about him. Yet you have allowed yourself to be whirled away to this quirky place he owns in Switzerland – Krismas Village. The life there is a world away from what you know – running a bar in downtown Miami.
Kylie Kringle (F):
You are Kris Kringle’s daughter. Of course you have always been 100% behind your dad, always supporting him in his noble cause of delivering presents to millions of children every Xmas eve. But could your dad’s disappearance actually work out to your advantage? Hmmm, maybe….
Aretha Holly (F):
You are a freelance journalist. It's an inescapable truth that your reputation is only as good as your last story. It's been a while since you had a big one. A lot of editors have stopped replying to your emails. Now would be a really good time for you to bring in a front page grabbing worldwide scoop...
Crispin Kringle (M):
You are Santa Claus’s son. Yes, you idolize your father and try to be like him, up to a point. You wish he wasn’t so old fashioned and would at least try to keep up with modern methods of doing things. Now, if you were Santa, things would be so different…
Stan Dupp (M):
You are a professional long distance lorry driver with years of experience. Nothing like this has ever happened to you before…
Fingal Kringle (M):
You used to live at the North Pole, eking out a living as a guide for explorers and travelers. That all changed abruptly when Kris Kringle swept up all of Krismas Village, his elves and you, and magically transferred the lot to Switzerland. All very bizarre, but then your life has had many unusual twists and turns…
Frosty Starlight (M/F):
You are one of a very few SPECIAL elves, carefully selected by Kris Kringle to handle the difficult jobs normal elves cannot do. You are certainly no ordinary workshop elf…
Jojo Gingersnap (M/F):
You are one of Kris Kringle’s most important elves, with the responsibility of looking after his prized herd of reindeer. It helps that you are totally devoted to the endearing animals, woe betide anyone who comes in the way of their welfare….
Peri Pickle (M/F):
You have been working as one of Kris Kringle’s workshop elves for a very long time. Maybe too long, as you think he tends to take you and your co-workers far too much for granted…
Inya Engadine (M/F):
You are a farmer, almost as proud of your Swiss heritage as your herd of traditional brown cows. Why can’t you just be left in peace to get on with the running of your farm?
Rip Orff (M/F):
You are a wheeler dealer in the world of high tech startups. Buying and selling fledgling companies, facilitating finance and negotiating deals is your game. It’s a high risk business. There’s many a pitfall the inexperienced and unwary can stumble into. They just need to be greedy enough ….
Ryder Shark (M/F):
You are not sure exactly who you are, as you appear to have lost your memory. Everything’s hazy. Maybe you are suffering from amnesia? Just what has brought you stumbling into this Swiss village? Where do you come from? Who are you? Have you suffered some sort of accident? Sooner or later, surely, you will find out!
Nickky Nuckles (M/F):
You are a successful big data analyst, much in demand for your interpretive skill at making usable the information large companies amass as they go about their business. The numbers speak to you like a language, revealing behavioural changes, new trends – and sometimes - secrets probably best kept secret....
