Murder mystery games perfect for Sinterklaas

View all games

A bit different from last year

For those who’ve celebrated Sinterklaas the same way about ten times already, a murder mystery game offers a refreshing change of pace. You keep the cozy atmosphere and the tradition of sitting together at the table, but add an element where everyone is actively involved. It’s not just about unwrapping gifts or reciting poems—it’s a full-length story that fills the evening.

You can combine the game with the usual Sinterklaas traditions. Surprises and poems in the first half of the evening, the murder mystery game in the second half. Or let the murder mystery game be the main course and serve the surprises for dessert.

Incorporate a St. Nicholas theme

You can incorporate Sinterklaas elements into the game by naming the roles or setting after Sinterklaas-related names or places. The script remains the same, but you can adapt the execution.

For those who prefer to stick to tradition, the game works just fine as is. The theme remains in the background, and Sinterklaas stays in the foreground with chocolate and marzipan.
