The Setting:

Welcome to Scranton, Pennsylvania. You’ve been invited to attend a Christmas party at the Scranton office of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. This year’s Christmas party will celebrate a new business partnership that unites Dunder Mifflin with several other paper distributors, and Initech Software Development. On the insistence of regional manager, Michael Scott, the party is being held at the Scranton office and employees from all over the world are attending. The Party Planning Committee has been working round the clock to decorate the office with holiday cheer. Garland and holly are lining the walls, mistletoe and wreaths hang from the doorways, and a majestic tree towers over a bounty of gifts. Some of you are Dunder Mifflin office employees here to celebrate Christmas, some of you are visiting Scranton for the first time from other companies – but several of you have come with sinister motives in mind. Consider everyone a suspect and ask your questions thoroughly. The thief will be implicated in three ways: a motive, the opportunity, and had access to a stapler.

The Crime:

Dressed in a traditional Santa Claus costume, Michael Scott suddenly decided he would make the day “more special” by acting out the role of Santa. He collected all the presents from under the tree and put them in his gift bag to be distributed by him personally in typical Santa fashion. But when it came time to officially light the office Christmas tree, Michael was nowhere to be found. As the colored lights flashed on, Michael emerged haggardly from the break room and demanded that everyone “stop Christmas immediately!” After calming down, Michael explained that while he was in the break room he was ambushed by an unseen figure who clobbered him with a stapler. When he came to, he discovered that the bag of gifts had been stolen! Who among you would attack Michael and steal Christmas? One of you is the thief, the rest of you need to find out who the culprit is, find the stolen gifts, and save Christmas. When you find someone with a motive to attack Michael Scott; who was at the scene of the crime today this evening – the break room; and who possesses the weapon – a stapler; then you may have found the true thief. GOOD LUCK!!
