Holiday Hijinks #1: The Kringle Caper

It is early in the morning on Christmas Day. The silence is broken by a sudden thud in the chimney! Something has fallen down. You run to the fireplace and find an envelope, black with soot, with the word 'URGENT' scrawled on it. You open the letter and read a puzzling message. All at once you smell peppermint and hear bells jingling. Before you know it you are whisked away to the North Pole! A nasty crime has been committed and Santa needs your help. There is no time to lose. Are you ready to save Christmas? Holiday Hijinks #1: The Kringle Caper is an escape room in game form, and all with just 18 cards! Together with your friends or family you solve a series of puzzles to unravel the mystery. The puzzles challenge your powers of observation, your feel for language and your way of thinking. Please note: you need a good command of English to play. Solved a puzzle? Then enter your answer on the matching website, which works on any phone or computer. The site tells you whether you are right and which card to pick up next. Stuck for a moment? Then you get a small hint step by step, just enough to keep going. You do not have to write anything on the cards, so afterwards you can simply pass the game on to the next group. Count on about an hour of play, with a challenge level of 2 out of 3.
