Calling all Junior Detectives! The Christmas presents have vanished from under the tree...
Make this year's Christmas party one the kids talk about until New Year. In this printable mystery party game from the Junior Detective Academy series, teams of kids visit 6 clue stations around your home. Each station clears one of the 6 Christmas-party helpers. The one helper nobody can clear is the one who moved the presents, and the last station reveals where they are now.
Every case at the Academy has a kind, happy ending. Nothing was ever stolen: the presents were moved for a good reason (a very curious puppy was involved), and they come out safe and sound.
THE CASE: The Missing Christmas Presents
- 6 suspects: a choir leader, a lights fixer, a gingerbread baker, a gift wrapper, a photographer and a hot cocoa maker
- 6 clue stations: The Gift Tag Code, Ornament Logic Grid, Who Said It? (8 overheard quotes), Who Am I?, Wrapping Paper Match, The Glitter Trail
- Every station has exactly one answer, and the stations work in any order, so teams never wait
- Page numbers on every page and a clear print list that marks what is ESSENTIAL and what is optional, so you can run a quick minimal version (15 pages plus one 4-page Team Packet per team)
WHAT'S INCLUDED (32 pages)
- Host guide: supplies list, setup steps, print list (essential vs optional), party timeline, team rotation chart, tips
- Reveal script to read aloud + full host answer key with one hint per station
- Case briefing letter to read aloud at the start
- 6 suspect cards for a Suspect Wall
- Team Packet for every team: suspect lineup, case file (answer sheet) and 2 puzzle worksheets
- 6 shared Station Signs to post around the house (nobody writes on them, so every team finds them clean)
- "Case Closed" reveal page
- Fill-in invitations (2 per page) and a door sign
- Detective ID cards (4 per page) and detective badges (12 per page)
- Graduation certificates (fill in the name)
- "Have you seen these presents?" poster, Case Scene banner strips, cupcake or cookie toppers and thank-you favour tags
- Optional hiding-place label, so the answer the kids find is true wherever you hide it
PARTY DETAILS
- Ages 8-10 (reading needed; mix ages in a team if younger siblings join)
- 4 to 12 kids, in teams of 2 to 4
- About 60-90 minutes from welcome to the big reveal
- Great for Christmas parties, Christmas Eve with cousins, holiday classroom parties and winter birthdays
- Easy setup: about 30 minutes to print, post 6 station signs and tape up the suspect wall (allow 30 more for the optional decorations)
- You need: a printer, paper, scissors, tape and pencils. Optional extras: toothpicks for the toppers, a hole punch and string for the favour tags
HOW IT WORKS
This is an INSTANT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD - nothing will be shipped. After purchase, download the PDF from your Etsy account (Purchases & Reviews > Download files). Print SINGLE-SIDED at home or at a copy shop on US Letter paper (8.5 x 11 in). It also prints on A4 using "Fit to page". Colour looks best, but every puzzle works in black and white.
Because this is a digital file, colours may look slightly different on screen and on paper.
