SYNOPSIS (THIS OUTLINES THE FLOW OF THE PARTY EVENTS).
It was time for the Annual Pre-Christmas Toy Production Meeting in Christmas Village! Mrs. Santa sent
the announcements to those most involved in the ‘Big Delivery’ on Christmas Eve. The day of the meeting
arrived and Christmas Village quickly became deserted as the worker elves – who were given the afternoon
off – went to have a blast at a Holiday-themed Amusement Park called Yule Tide World in Gingersnap
Village. As expected, Dank the Elf staged an enormous protest at the elves having a break, but Santa had
the final say! So the meeting attendees flooded into the Toy Shop Board Room and the gathering kicked
off with fun Christmas Trivia and an exciting game of What Christmas Thing am I? After the ice was
broken and everyone mingled about and enjoyed yummy appetizers, the participants talked Santa into
playing a few more hilarious Christmas games such as the Christmas Scramble Challenge and Christmas
Taboo. The North Pole is such a playful place, how could Santa say no? Even amidst the joyful yet
competitive spirits, accusations flew about the room regarding ‘who’ was currently holding up the Christmas
Toy Production and Sleigh Loading process. About midway through the meeting, Santa discovered that
the ultra-important Naughty and Nice List was missing from his inbox! To avoid a Christmas disaster, the
North Pole leaders quickly rallied together to investigate who took the Naughty and Nice List before
Christmas was ruined! Some guests at the meeting might have even had a motive to delay Christmas or
even end Christmas altogether! The culprit had to be caught! So after an intense investigation, the
meeting participants took turns accusing who they believed stole the Naughty and Nice List and what their
motive was to steal it. After taking a break to play some stress-relieving games such as Christmas
Charades and Do you Taste what I Taste, the Christmas leaders one by one quizzed each other on
Christmas Carols and then came clean with their involvement, if any, and the thief confessed! The meeting
ended with a thrilling scavenger hunt for the missing Naughty and Nice List! Overall, it was a PreChristmas meeting that will be legendary in the North Pole!

CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
COSTUME
SUGGESTIONS
Everyone knows that it’s really Mrs. Santa Claus that
runs the North Pole! A tad neurotic, this Mother of
Christmas runs a tight show…especially during the
Holiday season!
Mrs. Santa Claus costume.
The legendary Santa Claus with his rosy cheeks, full
belly and jovial spirit is certainly the one to be around
during the Holidays.
However, his increasing
irresponsibility has been threatening a successful
Christmas toy run this year! Santa is also known to pull
his share of practical jokes on others…so watch your
back – literally!
Santa Claus costume. Post it
note pad and pen as optional
props.
Umami is the elder elf who holds the prestigious
position of Director of the Nice or Naughty List. Umami
is all about no-nonsense and doesn’t play around much
at all. The other elves aren’t sure if it is old age or just
the stress of the job…but Umami certainly isn’t much
fun to be around!
Elf costume.
Dank is the micro-managing Director of Toy Production
at Santa’s Toy Shop in the North Pole. This is one elf
that you never want to double cross…or you’ll pay!
Dank typically isn’t seen without his minion managers
from the North Pole Toy Factory.
Elf costume.
Ebbie Smooge is the miserly brother of Mrs. Santa
Claus. He often visits the North Pole to try to talk his
sister and her husband out of wasting money on the
creation and distribution of Christmas toys. If you
looked up the word ‘Grouchy’ in the dictionary, Ebbie’s
picture would be right next to it. He often travels with
many of his doting assistants.
Black suit, black top hat and
cane.
Foxworthy is the head toy maker and hardest working
elf in the North Pole. S/he’s a little bit country, however,
since s/he hails from a tiny toy shop in southern
Mississippi but Foxworthy is the one that Santa counts
on year after year to get the toys of Christmas ready for
the big delivery.
Elf costume.
Viper is one of the most shy and reserved elves in the
Sleigh Shop at the North Pole.
It’s well known
throughout the North Pole that Viper doesn’t get along
fabulously with Dank the toy shop Director. But who
truly gets along with Dank anyway?
Elf costume.
Pax is the Office Manager of The North Pole, Inc. S/he
is a severe penny pincher and all of the elves say s/he’s
allergic to fun. However, s/he certainly keeps the
finances of Christmas in check! Pax is often seen with
many of her employees as it is rumored that she is all
about long hours and hard work. If you work for Pax,
you won’t have much free time on your hands.
Elf costume.
Mimsy the Elf is the calm, cool and collected elf of the
North Pole. Everyone wants to be like Mimsy as
whatever Mimsy does, says or wears…it’s automatically
the ‘next hottest thing’ to do say and wear! Talk about a
trend setting icon!

Candy Maker
Optional Either
Dipper the Elf
Gift Wrapping Specialist
Optional Either
Ant the Elf is the obsessive compulsive candy maker in
the North Pole Toy Factory. Even though there are
strict deadlines for completion, Ant spends countless
hours making perfect batches of candy for the stockings
of Christmas. The stocking stuffer department is really
tired of waiting on Ant’s candy! S/he defines the phrase
‘slow as Christmas.’
Elf costume.
Dipper the Elf is the fun-loving sibling of none other
than the stuffiest elf at the North Pole – Umami. If you
ever need a good cheering up – just find Dipper and
ask him/her to tell you a hilarious Christmas joke!
Elf costume.
Luna is the wild and crazy elf of the North Pole. Luna
and her crew load Santa’s big red bag for the toy
delivery every Christmas Eve. It takes a lot of skill, hard
work and a little magic to get the bag packed just right.
Elf costume.
Rudy the Rosy-nosed reindeer is a legend in his/her
own time! Known for his/her brightly colored nose that
lights up the foggy sky on Christmas Eve, this reindeer
is filled to the brim with charisma and always get what
s/he wants…especially from Santa!
All brown clothing with a white
under-shirt. Face painted like
a reindeer. Antler headband.
Sprocket the Elf is the ultimate handy man of the North
Pole. Known for being a major ‘kiss up’, all of the elves
can’t help but roll their eyes when he talks to Santa.
But Sprocket is one of the most valuable elves in the
North Pole as he can repair essentially everything!
Elf costume.
Pollie the Polar Bear is the prim and proper sleigh
loader in Santa’s village. If you do not use proper
manners around Pollie, you’ll be corrected and taught
proper etiquette immediately - whether you like it or not!
All white clothing. Face
painted white, white wig.
White bear ears on a
headband and nose painted
black.
Trouble is Claudia Claus’s middle name. Every since
early childhood, Claudia has caused chaos with her
brother Santa! From breaking his big wheel to blaming
him for starting food fights at the dinner table – this is
definitely an active case of sibling rivalry!
Any variation of a Mrs. Santa
Claus costume.
Icy is the fun-loving snowperson of the North Pole. A
true friend to all of the elves and rising rap artist…this
snowy individual has one problem - s/he is an extreme
close talker and so it’s a little chilly to talk to Icy!
All white clothing, face painted
white with a top hat, red scarf
and pipe. Optional: fake
carrot as a nose.
The Gingerbread Man is the egotistical ginger bread
cookie man of the North Pole. He is known to be a tad

jacket, yellow tights or
leggings and black riding
boots. Fake Rifle as a prop.
Face painted like a

and blue or white face paint
on face. Jazz it up with blue
glitter or sequined items!
HOST DIRECTIVES
Get ready for a fun Christmas with the ‘Turmoil in the Toyshop’ game from mymysteryparty.com! This lighthearted game is a light sleuthing mystery where the players will act out a fun Christmas character while they solve the
entertaining and family-friendly mystery! The party can be a huge success as long as you and your guests relax and let
the mystery unravel during each round.
The party pack (this document) needs to be printed in advance of the party. Cut out the clues and slip them into
envelopes labeled with the appropriate round and character for each round of the party. It is optimal to choose different
colored envelopes for each round.
During the party, your job as the host is to ensure that the envelopes are given to the guests at the appropriate times and
most of all – that you and your guest are having a blast!! There are a few props you will need to collect in advance and
plant at certain places and times during the party (see below for the list). Make sure to read the host instructions for
each round prior to the party to ensure that you have everything in place for the big day!

the purchased game
THE BIG REVEAL/ SOLUTION ROUND THREE: Deliver these clues with hot chocolate (coffee) and dessert!

*IMPORANT INFORMATION REGARDING CHARACTER ASSIGNMENTS:
Assign your most definite RSVPs and outgoing guests to the required characters and the more tentative,
shy/reserved guests to the optional characters. It’s suggested to invite more than the required number of
players as guests can cancel at the last minute and leave you high & dry. You can play as many optional
Copyright © mymysteryparty.com
Page 4
players as you wish and in this kit, they have the same materials and same participation level, but are not
‘mandatory’ for the storyline to play out and the mystery to be sleuthed.
So, what happens if one of your required characters cancels on you at the last minute? First,
take a deep breath and grab some eggnog…it’s not the end of the world.
1. If you have an extra optional player that is coming to the party - give them a call and tell them they’ll
need to switch characters. Hopefully this isn’t the day of the party because no doubt, this player has
his/her costume ready….but you can go ahead and let them wear the costume that they
purchased/created - it won’t absolutely ruin the mystery since there are ‘name tags’ that designate each
character during the game.
2. Full instructions in
the purchased game
3. If you don’t care about the surprise and / or have already looked at who the guilty party is…then just be
sure they are still playing - you might need to switch one required character over to play the no-show
criminal. If you do this, do as described in #2 and post the missing character’s clue cards on the wall
during each round. You can add comedy to this situation and make a stuffed dummy of this character
and post the clues to where the chest would be or in the hands! You’ll be surprised as your guests
might start to ‘mingle’ with this effigy in good humor.

HELPFUL HINTS ON HOW TO PLAY A MYSTERY PARTY
GUEST INSTRUCTIONS
So you’ve been assigned a character and you’ve come to the party dressed in the most fabulous
Christmas costume for your assigned character and have been told to play your role. So now
what?
The mystery is separated into 3 main rounds of party play. During the party, you will be handed
an envelope that contains the clues necessary for your character for the round. The clues for all
of the required characters provide everything that you need to solve the mystery. However, during
the investigation segment of the game, you will need to ask the right questions and pay close
attention to everyone’s clues to be able to get the whole picture of what has happened.
Full instructions in
the purchased game
From this point forward, you are to remain in character until the mystery is solved. If you are
playing a ‘green alien from Mars’, then that is who you are until the end! Undoubtedly, your host
has cast you into a character that you are comfortable playing. There are some characters that
are designed to be played more reserved than other characters that should be played more
boisterous. Feel free to play your role however you feel comfortable. Embellish your character’s
personality if you would like. However, if you are feeling more reserved tonight, you can opt to
allow the other characters to approach you or you can simply listen in on others’ conversations to
get your information.

CLUES TO REVEAL DURING THIS ROUND
During this round, mingle with the other guests to discuss the following with whomever you choose:
Tell a few people that you think that Santa works way too much and you are afraid that this stress is causing him
to act irresponsibly.
Try to talk to your brother, Ebbie Smooge, and tell him that Christmas is not a bad thing and the good girls and
boys deserve toys! Tell him Christmas is not a waste of time and money and if he is going to continue to visit
you at the North Pole each holiday season, he needs to have a better attitude.
Tell The Gingerbread Man that ending Christmas would not end the consumption of Gingerbread cookies. Say
that they are a seasonal food item and are not only associated with Christmas. Assure the Gingerbread Man
that Santa Claus only eats the sugar cookies that the boys and girls leave out for him! (If Gingerbread Man is not a

CLUE
PERSONAL INFORMATION (You can conceal these clues from

You are pretty certain that your nephew will be on the ‘Naughty List’ this year. It would absolutely devastate your side of the
family if Santa didn’t visit your nephew on Christmas Eve!! About a month ago, your
nephewPURCHASED

out on a table next to the reference sheet and allow your guests to view them. Tell everyone to take a minute and come
up with their own conclusions on the fingerprints (this might either confirm or disprove any theories they had on whodunit)

PRE-CRIME:
Ask Ebbie Smooge why he comes to the North Pole during the holiday season if he is going to scream ‘Bah Humbug’ at
everyone all day…every day.
Ask Santa if he retrieved the Naughty and Nice List from his inbox yet. Say that you are afraid something will happen to
it if it is left unattended. It is such an important thing to be left on a desk for such a long time!
Tell everyone that you have no plans of retiring and so they should all stop trying to get your job at the North Pole. You
are the most responsible and dedicated employee at the North Pole and everyone needs to respect you.
Tell Foxworthy that you’ll put in a good word with Santa if s/he wants to try to get Dank’s position in the Toy Shop. Say
that 15 elves quitting the Toy Shop this close to Christmas is entirely unacceptable and you know it is all Dank’s fault.
You would absolutely never make an excuse, apologize or act weak in front of anyone else.
EACH CHARACTER
WILL HAVE A ROUND
TWO CLUE CARD IN
POST-CRIME:
You have not left the Toy Shop Board Room since the meeting began. You submitted the Naughty and Nice List into
Santa’s inbox on his desk in his Toy Shop office – which is right next to the Toy
Shop Break
Room. You simply tossed it
THE
PURCHASED
in the inbox so your prints should not be found on Santa’s inbox. However, the inbox is quite deep, so anyone who took
the Naughty and Nice List from the inbox would most definitely have left some fingerprints.
GAME
The thief has to be someone who left the Toy Shop Board Room between the time you put the list in Santa’s inbox and
the discovery of the list as missing. Maybe you should try to construct a time line of everyone who left the room and
when they returned.
You would expect Santa’s fingerprints to logically be found on his inbox on his desk.

You are not the criminal! You are the first one to read your final solution of the mystery to the group. Say the
following to the group:
“Well, as most of you know, I don’t play around much. And I certainly would not play around with such an important
thing as the Naughty and Nice List. I am the most responsible elf at the North Pole so I don’t think that any of you
should even consider the notion that I misplaced it! And, as you know, others verified the List was in the inbox after I
put it there! It simply could not have happened. I am not the guilty one!”
DANK THE ELF IS NEXT TO READ HIS/HER CLUE
Before the party…cut out the following Naughty and
Nice List and hide it in any place in your
