Host a murder party: "Who killed Santa?"

This year the portly gentleman dressed in red will not be coming down the chimney. Someone has killed Santa Claus. He is dead, possibly murdered.

xmas santa yuleYes, we know, it's scandalous but true. It happened just before the Johnson & Jones Advertising Christmas party. But was it revenge for an unwanted present from last year?

Or old age catching up with him?

Find out in this rivetting murder-mystery play, "Who killed Santa?"

Come alone or bring a group of friends to watch or get involved. Everything you'll need for a great night out is included and no prior learning is needed.

No specific costumes are required though we will be giving special door prizes to the most festively dressed people!
