Amazing Christmas Murder Mystery Game Synopsis:

A master of deception, the reclusive Christopher Clause tricked many people into attending what he referred to as the ‘most wondrous party of the year.’ After everyone arrived at Clause Manor, Christopher had his staff lock the guests inside with no chance of escape. The party-goers were shocked to see Christopher, wearing a Santa suit in a faraway location, pop onto a monitor in the living room. He warned that someone would be leaving in a coroner’s bag! The eccentric millionaire was a mastermind who had meticulously selected the guest list. It wasn’t long before tempers flared inside the holiday pressure cooker while they worked on Chris's demented riddle. There wasn’t much surprise when a dead body emerged, and a killer lurked among them. Christopher popped back on the monitor, laughing and cheering with delight. His twisted plan had fallen into place. He posed another riddle for the guests to solve and announced that he would contact the authorities. He cautioned that all attendees would be suspects in this murder if they didn’t find the killer before the red and blues swirled in the front driveway. The guests scurried about, interrogating each other until they could turn over no more stones. Once they found the killer, the detainees were able to leave the manor, never to speak of the night’s events again.
