The Strange Case of the Disappearing Presents - for Christmas!

I know we're all still reeling from Halloween, but some of us need to start thinking about our Christmas parties... After all, it won't be long now!

Luckily this ties in with some news - Mysteries on the Net have a new Christmas-themed kid party - The Strange Case of the Disappearing Presents. Here's the background:

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...

The Strange Case of the Disappearing Presents is for 8 to 25 kids.

Even More Way out West

Way out West is one of Freeform Games' best-selling games and they've now made it better by adding 10 extra characters. These new characters include the town drunkard and ne'er-do-well, a mysterious travelling stage magician, the local schoolmarm, a glamorous chanteuse, and other such classic, fun characters to play.

So now you can enjoy Way out West with up to 24 guests.

Like the main Way out West game, the expansion includes a free kids' version, suitable for kids' parties or for mixed family groups, with the risqué plot elements substituted with innocent ones.

The standard Way out West game, for 10-14 players, costs £20. The new Way out West Expanded -- the standard game plus the Expansion Pack -- for 10-24 players, is priced at just GBP 25.
