Get it wrong and you're stuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomeone is working their way through the city, wrecking Christmas one location at a time, and the crimes are escalating. Each day you open a crime scene, find the clue the culprit left behind, and solve it — the answer tells you which door to open next. Along the way you're collecting evidence and ruling suspects out: there's only one culprit, and a confirmed alibi for even a single crime clears someone completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvidence from different days links together, so nothing gets thrown away. There's a folder to cut out of the sleeve to keep it all in, and a city map, crime scene illustrations and suspect summaries to work from. By Christmas Day you need a name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested age is 14+\u003c\/strong\u003e and it's built for one player or a team — a household can work it together over breakfast, which is how most people seem to play it. Each day runs about 5 to 15 minutes, so it's a coffee's worth of puzzle rather than an evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's by Puzzle Post, a British independent, and it's plastic free and fully recyclable. \u003cstrong\u003eWe have it in at 22 Burgate in Canterbury\u003c\/strong\u003e — and if you're torn between this and the Taskmaster calendar we also stock, come in and we'll talk you through the difference.

Every door holds part of a puzzle — clues, documents and evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy don't the doors have numbers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause finding the next door is part of the game. Solving the clue at today's crime scene tells you where the culprit strikes next, and that's tomorrow's door. It also means nobody can peek ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to be online?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, for one part. The suspect board you use to eliminate suspects and name the culprit is online, so you'll need a phone, tablet or computer to finish the case. The daily puzzles themselves are done on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat age is it for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePuzzle Post suggest 14 and over. It's a deduction game aimed at teenagers and adults rather than a children's calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does each day take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAround 5 to 15 minutes, so it fits into a morning rather than taking over an evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan we play it as a family or a couple?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — it's marked 1+ players and works well shared. One person opening the door and reading out while everyone argues about the answer is the usual arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if we fall behind?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing breaks. The chain of doors stays the same whenever you solve it, so you can catch up over a weekend without spoiling the ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it compare with the Taskmaster calendar?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth are Puzzle Post, both £30, both 24 days and 14+. This one is a serious whodunnit built on logic and elimination, with a single case running through all 24 days. The Taskmaster calendar is comedy and physical tasks with props. Pick this if you like crime fiction and deduction; pick Taskmaster if you want to laugh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it recyclable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — 100% recyclable and plastic free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Puzzle Post Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57093524128122,"sku":"ADCC1","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/8187\/4234\/files\/3a0b989052ab88a0c65c003d3adf84db5c1a6c7515d6b18ae46ea8dcb6b810ff.jpg?v=1784625997","url":"https:\/\/wrapped.shop\/products\/wreck-the-halls-crime-solving-advent-calendar","provider":"Wrapped!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
