 Show Information
 
Scrooge gets WHACKED in this holiday themed Murder Mystery! You'd think after years of seeing all these ghosts and getting all the warnings Scrooge would stop acting like a jerk. But, alas, Scrooge finally gets his due. It'll be up to you to figure out who did it. Just because he's "tiny" doesn't mean it's not Tim, and Cratchit's been getting a raw deal for years. Maybe... it's someone you know, sitting right beside you or someone you "think" you know. Find out for yourself who the killer is in this interactive holiday event. Costumes welcome!
