The December Airwaves — 24-Day Christmas Mystery

Twenty-four evenings of stories. A silence before the first broadcast.

A radio station is ready to tell a new Christmas story each evening. Before the broadcasts begin, its producer is murdered. The person she called to her office is hidden among six thousand registered contributors. Follow the daily developments to recover that name.

A case to settle into

Give December a small investigative ritual. Work through Day 1 to Day 24 in order, reading a fresh development and applying its elimination rule. This is one unfolding case with twenty-four stages, and every daily page is already included in your download.

Inside your download

• 6,000 unique suspect names and 24 clues.
• Three 195-page puzzle PDFs: US Letter, A4 and a linked tablet edition. Each contains the same case; choose one format.
• A separate 9-page Solution PDF with optional hints, progress counts and the ending.
• Twenty-four daily story-and-clue pages, a calendar, worked clue examples, a register index and space to track progress.

How you solve it

1. Read the case and the key to the records.
2. Work through the daily pages from Day 1 to Day 24, eliminating entries that break each rule.
3. Check the one remaining name against the separate Solution file when you are ready.

A calendar with a varied pace

The first four days work through sorted blocks of records. Days 5 and 6 are longer, with roughly 20–40 minutes of checking each; from Day 9, most checks take only a few minutes. Allow an estimated 2–3½ hours of checking across the whole calendar, plus reading and page handling. This is a calculation, not timed player testing. No audio listening or daily online delivery is required.

Print the Letter or A4 edition in black and white, or mark the linked tablet PDF in a compatible annotation app. Bookmark your current register page before jumping to an example. PDF links and pen modes depend on your app; marking and checking are manual.
