In a workshop at the North Pole some happy little Christmas Elves are busy making toys for good girls and boys. It’s the most magical time of the year… but you know what they say?

But when one of these spritely toy makers turns up mysteriously dead its up to you to determine if it was a cold blooded murder… or all done in Elf Defence. Enjoy some dastardly deeds with a festive twist in the REAL tinsel town!
