Who Killed Santa Claus? Inside 'Ho Ho Oh No!' — a sinister, theatrical whodunnit set on the North Pole.
Set on the strange, theatrical terrain of the North Pole in Antarctica, Who Killed Santa Claus? — presented as Ho Ho Oh No! by Blue Chest Games — turns holiday iconography into a tense, immersive murder mystery. Players step into a world where a tyrannical Santa Claus has lost the spirit of Christmas and the game unfolds as an investigation: examine evidence, interrogate fellow players, and, for some, maintain a carefully constructed lie.
