A whimsical family St. Patrick’s Day non-murder mystery party game set in enchanted Emerald City. This festive mystery is packed with fairies, gnomes, elves, leprechauns, outrageous personalities, neighborhood gossip, Irish party games, suspicious behavior, fingerprint evidence, a missing pot of gold, and a final scavenger hunt.
Family Mystery Party Game Synopsis:
Emerald City is preparing for its annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration at Town Hall, and every fairy, gnome, elf, and leprechaun in town is ready for an evening of Irish food, lively music, entertaining challenges, and festive party games. The residents will gather to catch up on the latest gossip, show off their finest green attire, and celebrate with some of the most colorful personalities in the enchanted community.
Unfortunately, Emerald City’s holiday celebrations are notorious for bringing out old rivalries, peculiar behavior, and more drama than a leprechaun can hide beneath a tiny hat. You have received your ticket to the celebration, and this is where your story begins.

I plan activities for an Assisted Living Community and our residents LOVED this! Thank you!
Pretty easy to put together and a fun evening for all invited!
Great family fun on St. Patricks. I'd suggest doing all the party games, they are hysterical. A few of our party got the answer, but it's well thought of, and fun to investigate everything.
