Mystery Synopsis:
The neighborhood of Acorn Hill has been tormented by a prankster who goes by the name of the Savvy Saboteur. For the last week, they have tiptoed around the community at night in disguise, throwing toilet paper everywhere, sneaking corny license plate frames on cars and planting traps that spew old banana peels. The joker leaves teddy bears with mysterious notes on doorsteps – in hopes the neighbors will work together to solve their riddles and coded messages. The Savvy Saboteur has announced they will strike on Thanksgiving Day if their identity is not revealed by then. The holiday is fast approaching, and the community is nowhere near finding the mischief-maker. The neighbors plan to meet on Thanksgiving Day while their turkeys are in the oven in hopes of finding the saboteur before Thanksgiving is ruined for everyone. You live in Acorn Hill and have been pestered by this prankster. You’ll be at the meeting, for sure. This is where your story begins.

Great Virtual Family Fun
With our family spread across the country and not being able to see each other over Thanksgiving, this game provided us with a great time and a lot of fun!! It was so wonderful for all of us in a wide age range from teenagers to grandparents and older cousins, to work together, 'see' each other, and to figure out who was sabotaging the town. Definitely recommend this mystery when being together in person isn't an option.
