Turmoil in the Toyshop Christmas Mystery
A fun family Christmas non-murder mystery party with 7-20 unique character roles for all ages (however- under 12 years of age will require some help sleuthing) set in the North Pole!

This is the boxed set (party pack) version of this game.

Mystery Synopsis:
Ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of year again! The annual pre-Christmas toy production meeting in Christmas Village is just around the corner. Get ready to deck the halls and jingle all the way! Mrs. Claus has pulled out all the stops for this meeting. Not only will there be important business discussions, but she's kicking things off with a sleigh-full of fun. We're talking Christmas games, mouthwatering holiday treats, and, of course, a little yuletide gossip. Not to stir up any sugarplum drama, but let's be honest, this year hasn't been without its challenges. We've had more hiccups in toy production than Santa's belly laughs. The sleigh's navigation system has been more tangled than a string of Christmas lights. And let's not even get started on the reindeer dynamics—it's been a real reindeer rodeo. But fear not! We're here to save Christmas, one mug of eggnog at a time. We need to put our candy cane-filled heads together and find solutions to these holly jolly hurdles. Because let's face it, Christmas calamities are about as welcome as a fruitcake at a gingerbread house party. And hey, speaking of fruitcakes, there are some anonymous voices in the workshop who think the Naughty and Nice List needs a check-twice makeover. They're not pointing fingers, but let's just say they have some beef with Good Ole St. Nick's management style. It's time for an elf intervention! So, my fellow workshop warriors, let's gather in the toyshop boardroom and sleigh this meeting like Santa on Christmas Eve. We'll tackle the challenges, spread the holiday cheer, and make sure this year's toy delivery is smoother than Santa's beard after a fresh trim. Remember, we're a team—Santa's merry dream team—and together, we'll make this the merriest and brightest Christmas yet! Deck the halls and let's rock this meeting!
