Someone in the William’s family ate Santa’s cookie – and it is up to you to find out who! 
‘Who Ate Santa’s Cookie’ is a mystery game for families - 'Whodunit' style. Look at evidence, review photos, listen to alibies- and deduce who is the criminal!
The Williams’ family has five family members:
Two parents – Erin and Jamie, an older child named Jordan, a younger child named Kelly, and who could forget - Brady, their golden retriever. 
 
GAMEPLAY 
Each person is assigned a character with a short backstory, alibi and secret! 
As a group, you go to different rooms by opening evidence bags, and make observations of the pictures. Use your detective charts to note down your observations and evidence.
Connect the dots (metaphorically) to find who is the criminal! 
This game is very interactive and makes a great family bonding activity.  It lasts 30 min to an 1.5 hours, depending on the players. 
 
PLAYERS 
There are 4 speaking characters in the game; however more can participate as observers. Other players can participate by reading the non-dialogue part of the story
If there are young children who cannot read, we recommend that they partner with an adult, preferably one who is not playing a character.
All characters are gender-neutral. 
 
AGES
This game is written with families in mind and is meant to encourage children to learn how to read.
Ages 3 to 6 would enjoy this game if they can partner with an adult (if possible, one who is not playing a character).  
Ages 7 to 10 can likely play independently as  Jordan and Kelly. These characters' texts are written specifically to encourage kids who are learning how to read to participate. 
Olden teens and adults will enjoy the humor in the game and the mystery of finding the secret cookie-eater! However please note this game is geared towards a younger audience. 

There are a few dialogues in the story, which should be read by each character.
