Can you help Santa’s elves to solve the Mince Spy Mystery?
A festive crime has been committed! A naughty elf has smashed Mrs Claus’ treasured biscuit tin and run off with all the mince pies! The elf community is in uproar, so you and your fellow Mince Spy Specialists have been called in to investigate. Can you solve the riddles, follow the merry clues, and catch the long-eared culprit before Christmas is ruined?
Hosted at Preston Manor! Available for private bookings for groups of 12+ on dates other than those listed; call us or email brighton@pierpressure.co.uk to enquire
Father Christmas needs to choose the elves who will join him on his sleigh. But there are Naughty Elves hiding among the Nice…
You’ll be secretly assigned to one of two sides and thrown into a festive battle of bluffing, deception and deduction. Take on multiple challenges, form alliances and vote to uncover the Naughty Elves before they make it onto the sleigh.
Who can you trust? And which elves will make it onto the sleigh?
Suitable for ages 10+.
