Solving the puzzles will allow the investigator to eliminate suspects, melting methods and locations until only the guilty items remain.
However the six underlined puzzles are the suspects' own personal puzzles. The investigator will need to be on their guard, as the suspect who actually melted Frosty will be deliberately providing a puzzle where the solution provides misinformation. After all, they don't want to be caught!

OTHER ITEMS TO DISCOVER
As well as solving the mystery, the investigator will need to try and answer the following four questions:
- What magical toy does Father Christmas have waiting for them, if they solve the case?
- Rather than a merry Christmas, what kind of unusual Christmas are they being wished?
- What good deed did they do this year which has resulted in Father Christmas deciding that they should go on his present list?
- What New Year's resolution has been made on their behalf!
TWO BOOKS EACH WITH A DIFFERENT SOLUTION
There are two different books to choose from - Book 1 and Book 2. Each book has a different solution. For instance in book 1 Eskimo Nelly might have melted Frosty with the flame thrower in the ice cave. While in book 2 Rudolph might have done it with a red hot mince pie tin in the plum pudding pantry. Also, where possible, the individual puzzles within the books have different solutions.
This enables you to give a copy of "Who flame grilled Frosty?" to two people living in the same house and each of them will still have their own unique challenge.

MERRYMURDER SWEEPSTAKE
There is also provision in the book to have a merrymurder sweepstake. Before puzzling commences, interested parties can draw suspects, melting methods, and locations from a hat. When the solution is discovered, those people who drew the guilty suspect, melting method, and location can each claim a small prize.
