Really enjoyed for our virtual New Year’s Eve party. Suitable for families as we played with the kids (youngest 9) and the kids really got into the spirit of it and everyone had a lovely time.

Have a Christmas party coming up and want to do something a little different than usual? What about a family get together that always plays out the same way it does every year? Have you thought about doing a Christmas themed murder mystery? Having just finished the 6-8 player kit for “Is Santa Slayed?”, I can definitely recommend it for holiday fun! The characters are all super fun, unique and devious in their own right, and with the story being set in the North Pole, the festive atmosphere it created was contagious. The mystery was well crafted and was neither too easy nor too hard making it great for all sorts of people (even weird cousin Vinny). Grab your eggnog and some sweet Christmas cakes and get ready for one of the best Christmas parties you’ve been to in a long time!

Purchased the Christmas murder mystery and did this with family via zoom since we could no longer get together in person. It was great fun! The downloadable content was easy to understand and simple to follow. Costumes were easy to find from things we had around the house at Christmas time. Good fun.

Played the Christmas game on Boxing Day on zoom as an alternative to getting the family together. Really funny evening, brilliant supporting documents and where people had fancy dress it really brought the characters to life. We only had 2 days to prep as it was such a last minute decision – would recommend allowing a week or so whenever you can to allow people more time to prep and get costumes sorted.

This is the second time we have purchased a virtual murder mystery for my family who are dotted all over the UK.
They are easy to set up, simple to follow and great fun for the whole family! I couldn’t recommend more, especially when usual get togethers can’t happen in the current climate these have provided so much entertainment!
Brigid Du Plessis (verified owner) –
As usual, a lovely evening. We really enjoyed this festive mystery. It helped bring our family together when we couldn’t have our usual Christmas celebration. It is very cleverly put together, and thoroughly enjoyable.
Megan (verified owner) –
We had a great time with this game. This is the second mystery party I have done but the first one from Maple Mystery Games and we all had such a good time that we will be doing another for sure. The characters were fun and the theme was great for the season. We used Zoom for ours and it worked out great.
Carolyn Ruffles –
A fantastic, festive murder mystery. Fun characters, a highly entertaining script, lots of laughs and thoroughly recommended to get you into the Christmas spirit. A great way to spend an evening with friends or family. We all loved it.

Very great! Played during a work event, everybody got into characters which made it very fun. The characters are amazing and it’s a real pleasure to discover “Is Santa Slayed” and its universe.

Wonderful entertainment. Well thought out characters and storyline. Entertaining whodunnit that’ll keep you guessing throughout. Highly recommended for a fun filled evening.
