Shenanigans are afoot at the North Pole, and it's up to you to figure out what happened!

The Kringle Caper, title #1 in the Holiday Hijinks line, is an escape room style game in just 18 cards! As a group, you will solve a series of puzzles to unravel a mystery.

When you have solved a puzzle, you will enter the answer into the companion web app (compatible with all smart phones and computers) and it will check whether you are correct. If you are, the app will tell you which card or cards to take next.

The app also contains a graduated hint system, so if you get stuck you can get just a small hint about the current puzzle to get moving again without giving too much away.

Puzzles may test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required. Knowledge of traditional Christmas topics is helpful, but that information is also provided in the app if you need it.

Most groups take about an hour to solve the game. You can write on the cards to help solve puzzles, but this is not required (or you could use penny sleeves) and the game is otherwise non-destructable. So while you can't play again yourself, you could give the used game to someone else to play.

    Natalie ★★★★★

    The 18-card format was so easy to set up, we were puzzling within minutes. My family loved how the clues unfolded without needing a huge table or tons of props. Definitely a clever little game that fits perfectly in a stocking.

    Julian G. ★★★★★

    We played this over hot cocoa and it took us about 45 minutes to crack the case—the fact that it's only 18 cards but still felt like a full escape room was impressive. The puzzles were clever without being too frustrating.

    George O. ★★★★☆

    The escape room puzzles were clever enough to keep us engaged for an evening, though I wish the game lasted a bit longer. That said, the compact deck of cards made it perfect for bringing to a holiday party without hauling a big box.
