THE MYSTERY

A Beloved Tradition. A Missing Star. A Deadly Secret.


Every year, the Christmas Gala brings the community together for an evening filled with twinkling lights, treasured traditions and holiday cheer.


At the heart of the celebration is its beloved organizer — and the Christmas Star, a treasured part of the gala that has been passed down for generations.


But this year, something has gone terribly wrong.


The organizer is found dead.


And the Christmas Star has disappeared.


Now the celebration has become an investigation, familiar faces are hiding unexpected secrets, and a tradition everyone thought they understood may have a much darker history.


Who killed the gala's organizer — and what happened to the Missing Christmas Star?

CREATE WHILE THE MYSTERY UNFOLDS

A Little Christmas Magic to Take Home

While the mystery unfolds, you'll create a dimensional layered wood Christmas scene designed to become part of your own holiday traditions.


Layer by layer, you'll paint and assemble a snowy Christmas village viewed through an open window, with colorful buildings, a moonlit winter sky and a Christmas tree — complete with its own star.


Choose your colors and finishing details to make the piece completely your own.


No artistic experience is needed. We'll guide you through the project step-by-step.


Just don't get too distracted by the Christmas magic. There's still a missing star — and a murder to solve.

THIS ISN'T JUST A PAINT NIGHT

The Mystery Unfolds While You Create


The investigation doesn't happen before or after the painting —
it unfolds around you throughout the evening.


As you create, new evidence will emerge. Holiday traditions will take on new meaning. Secrets will surface. And you'll begin to discover that not everyone came to the Christmas Gala simply to celebrate.


Paint. Investigate. Compare theories. Look closely.


Because before the evening ends, you'll need to decide who killed the gala's organizer — and why someone took the Christmas Star.


No Acting Required

You won't be handed a script or expected to perform a character.


Participate at your own comfort level. Examine the evidence, follow the clues and share theories with the people around you.


You're here to investigate — not audition.
