Murder Mystery 2: Santa’s List — What It Included
Santa’s List was a holiday scavenger hunt in Murder Mystery 2, Nikilis’s long-running social deduction game, and it has since wrapped up. It ran over the winter break in late December 2025, tasking players with tracking down seven items Santa had lost across the game’s maps in exchange for a themed cosmetic. This page is an evergreen recap of what the event involved and when it took place.
The event landed in a game operating at enormous scale. Murder Mystery 2 has drawn more than 27 billion visits over its lifetime and holds well over 22 million favorites, and even outside of any event it routinely keeps hundreds of thousands of players in rounds at once. A limited-time hunt like Santa’s List sat on top of that steady traffic rather than driving it, giving the regular player base something extra to chase during the holidays.

What Santa’s List included
The premise was straightforward. Santa had misplaced seven items scattered around the game’s various maps, and players were asked to find all of them. Completing the hunt rewarded a knife skin — a cosmetic for the murderer role that sits at the heart of Murder Mystery 2’s economy and trading scene. The subtitle put it plainly: find all seven hidden items.
Because the items were spread across different maps rather than a single one, finishing the hunt meant playing through normal rounds and keeping an eye out as the map rotation cycled. The payoff was a single knife skin for anyone who tracked down the full set.
When Santa’s List ran
Santa’s List opened on December 20, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET and closed on December 29, 2025 at 3:00 AM ET, a run of a little over a week. It was a short, contained event by design — long enough to complete casually over the holidays, but not an open-ended grind. Interest was heavy, with the RSVP count climbing into the hundreds of thousands before it ended.
How it fit the game’s rhythm
Santa’s List was the quest-style companion to Murder Mystery 2’s broader seasonal calendar. It ran inside the larger Christmas 2025 window, which stretched from mid-December into January, and the game’s cadence is reliably seasonal beyond that — Halloween in the autumn, a Valentine’s event in February, and a long Summer event across July and August. That pattern makes the game’s schedule easy to anticipate: expect a themed event around each major holiday, often with a smaller hunt like this one layered inside it.
