DeWorld to name a few. But one guest is about to get a really big lump of coal for being the baddest of the bad and doing away with Santa! Can Barry Mitzvah, the Jewish elf, and Santa’s daughter, Ann Arctic, discover who might be capable of… murder? Interactive mystery dinner.

An American classic set in the 1930s. Famously outlandish radio wit Sheridan Whiteside is invited to dine at the home of a small-town Ohio factory owner and his family. However, before Whiteside enters the house, he slips on a patch of ice outside the front door and injures his hip. Whiteside is forced to remain at the home indefinitely, and in the process of recovering alternately terrorizes the family and household staff, meddles in the love life of his long-suffering assistant, Maggie, and endears himself to the rest of the community. Great for all ages!
