4 girls and 4 boys are suspects - up to 25
can play!
The people of Spruce Valley were nervous. Two days of heavy snow
had kept everybody
inside their houses, as well as cutting off the town from the outside world. Nobody
wanted a third snow day to spoil preparations for the Christmas celebration. Happily,
the weather broke early on Christmas Eve morning, and snowplows began clearing the
town's streets even though the roads into and out of town were still clogged with
snow.
People went about their business. There was much to catch up on! The festivities were to take
place in the town square with its huge Christmas tree. Every year, Hamley-Schwarz,
the largest toy shop in town, wraps 100 presents and arranges them beneath the tree.
After carols and Christmas cookies, the much-loved Mayor Bailey dresses as Santa
and arrives on a sleigh, then hands out the presents to the town's children.
By six o'clock
everything was ready, and a soft snowfall welcomed the townsfolk to the beautifully
decorated square. The town clock chimed six times, and the music began.
But behind
the scenes is panic. Christine Cringle, the person in charge of the presents, has
discovered that all of the presents have vanished! Only a small group of people
knows about the theft, and it’s hoped that the case can be solved without having
to cancel everything.
Everybody
is a suspect, and Christine has asked a group of trustworthy citizens to quietly
investigate the incident. Mayor Bailey is due to arrive at 7:30 and nobody wants
to let him down.
How could this have happened? Who would be so cruel as to steal the children's presents
on Christmas Eve? It's up to you to solve the mystery and save the Christmas celebration.
