Christmas Murder Mystery Game – Launching on Kickstarter soon!
Become the detective in our brand-new Christmas Murder Mystery Game – a festive whodunit where every clue brings you closer to solving the case.
The Mystery
Christmas is just days away, and the North Pole is filled with excitement.
For months, Santa’s most promising Christmas elves have been competing to be named the Best Christmas House Elf. Each finalist has spent time living with a human family — standing perfectly still whenever humans are watching, finding a new hiding place every night, delighting children, and secretly reporting their observations back to Santa.
After countless challenges, only three elves remain. The winner is about to be announced when a shocking discovery brings the competition to a halt. A crime has taken place at the North Pole, and suddenly no one is above suspicion — not the finalists, not Santa, not Mrs Claus, not even Rudolph. With Christmas hanging in the balance, it’s up to you to follow the clues, study the witness statements, and uncover the truth behind the crime.

From Stage to Table
Our Christmas Murder Mystery Game –Murder of a Christmas Elf began life as our sold-out 2025 Christmas dinner theatre mystery, written by our founder, Bridget Wilkinson. Following its success with live audiences, we’ve carefully adapted it into an immersive detective case file, preserving the intrigue, clever clues, and satisfying twists that made the original such a hit.
This is just the beginning. With your support, we hope to create a whole collection of detective case files, featuring new characters, new locations, and new mysteries to solve.
Thank you for joining us at the start of this exciting new chapter.
