Every year, the family gathers at Christmas to celebrate the season of goodwill in the warmth of their nearest and dearest. As ever, old rifts and wounds resurface, but shocking developments in the lives of family members are also doing the rounds for the very first time. It all comes to a head on this one evening. This ought to be a laugh…
In "Silent Night", players will play through this gathering in three acts: Starter, main course and dessert. If that sounds like escalation to you, then you're absolutely right. The novelty of this scenario: During the briefing phase, the player will develop their characters whilst actually cooking together and later on having an actual three course dinner. What a joyful night this will be!
Duration: 3 to 4 hours including preparing the meal
