A hilarious Christmas block party murder mystery game set at Lacey Kringel’s annual holiday gathering in Holly Hills. This festive suburban mystery is packed with feuding neighbors, unwanted gate-crashers, neighborhood gossip, blackmail, backstabbing, treachery, moochers, comedians, local police, news crews, and murder.

Murder Mystery Party Game Synopsis:

Lacey Kringel has once again agreed to host the annual Kringel’s Block Party for the Holly Hills neighborhood. The usual suspects will attend the gathering, while a few additional invitations have been distributed merely to keep the peace and prevent hostile gate-crashing.

The gossip grapevines of Hollyberry Town have been overflowing with scandal during the past year. Stories of blackmail, backstabbing, treachery, and bitter neighborhood feuds have circulated throughout this once-peaceful community. With certain residents holding grudges and others determined to settle old scores, peace on Earth may be asking too much from this cul-de-sac.

You have seen the RSVP list, and you are certain there will be drama. You also have an ax to grind with a few people attending the party, so you are more than ready to see what happens when everyone gathers beneath the holiday lights. This is where your story begins.
