Holiday Hijinks #9: The Marriage Mix-Up 2024

“Ding… Dong…” The regal sound of wedding bells fills the air as your team of wedding planners prepares for the ceremony and the reception in the banquet hall. But to your horror, you open the doors to find the whole place in disarray! Chairs are knocked over, decorations are ripped, and even the cake is worse for wear. You're under the clock as you put your puzzle-solving — and communication — skills to the test in order to set things right before the happy couple even arrives.

The Marriage Mix-Up, title #9 in the Holiday Hijinks line, is an escape room-style game in just 18 cards! As a group, you will solve a series of puzzles to unravel a mystery.

Puzzles may test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required.

When you have solved a puzzle on the cards, you will enter the answer into the companion website (compatible with all smartphones and computers) and it will check whether you are correct. If you are, the website will tell you which card or cards to take next. The website also contains a graduated hint system, so if you get stuck you can get just a small hint about the current puzzle to get moving again without giving too much away.

This system is non-destructible: some groups may choose to write on cards, but this is not required. A group cannot re-play the game but can pass it on to another group for their use.

This entry in the series takes about an hour to solve and is rated 2 out of 3 in difficulty. You will need at least two players to solve the puzzles.
