THE GREAT Santa Search

● CHRISTMAS EVE 11:00 PM · SANTA IS MISSING

Find Santa. Save Christmas.

It's one hour to midnight on Christmas Eve — and Santa has vanished. Jack Frost has hidden him somewhere in the wide, wide world and left a trail of twelve presents, each holding a clue. Your team of elves has 60 minutes to unwrap them, piece the clues together and fly the sleigh to the rescue, each of you holding clues the others can't see. Everyone plays from their own screen. No one escapes alone.

The story so far

CHRISTMAS EVE — 11:00 PM — THE NORTH POLE

The sleigh is packed. The reindeer are harnessed. The Nice List has been checked, and checked again. In one hour, at the stroke of midnight, Santa takes off on the most important night of the year.

There's just one problem. Santa has vanished.

His chair is empty. His cocoa is still warm. And frosted across his study window is the calling card of Jack Frost — winter's cheekiest mischief-maker — who has hidden Santa somewhere in the wide, wide world. But Jack Frost can never resist a game: he's left a trail of twelve presents across the North Pole, and every one holds a clue to where Santa is.

Now it's up to you: four elves — the List-Keeper, the Wrapper, the Navigator and the Toymaker — each holding clues the others can't see. Search the stables, the workshop and the candy cane tunnels. Unwrap every present. Piece the clues together.

You have 60 minutes before the clock tower strikes midnight. Find Santa. Fly the sleigh. Save Christmas.

Pick your elf — meet the team

Four elves, four points of view. Every clue you see is one your team can't.

📜

The List-Keeper

Keeps the Nice List, the letters to Santa and his great Big Book — names, notes and codes answer to you.

✨ One-time ability: Special Delivery
🎁

The Wrapper

Runs the wrapping room — the gift tags, the ribbons, and half of every rule is written on a tag you hold.

✨ One-time ability: Wrap It Up
🧭

The Navigator

Reads the sleigh map, the stars and the reindeer — from the sleigh's front seat, the whole world is a map.

✨ One-time ability: Sneak a Peek
🧸

The Toymaker

Builds the toys, reads the blueprints and keeps the great workshop clock ticking — the launch is yours to start.

✨ One-time ability: Wind the Clock

Inside the North Pole

A peek at what's waiting past Santa's study door — no spoilers.

🦌

The Reindeer Harness

Eight reindeer, four pairs, and every one of them in the wrong place. Logic first — then the numbers.

📻

The Frost Radio

Jack Frost is broadcasting his password on one of twenty-six channels. Only one comes through clear.

🍪

Mrs. Claus's Cookie Math

A chalkboard of cookie sums and a pantry that only takes letters. Bring your best elf arithmetic.

✨

The Twinkling Lights

The village lights are spelling something — but each of you can only read your own colour.

Why you'll love it

🌍

Play from anywhere

Everyone joins from their own device — across the living room or across the world. Perfect for families spread out for the holidays.

🤝

Real teamwork, by design

Each elf sees different clues. You literally can't save Christmas without talking to each other — nobody drifts off onto their phone.

🧠

Number, word & logic puzzles

Ciphers, logic grids, cookie math, hidden words and a final meta-puzzle that pulls all twelve presents together. Everything you need is in the clues.

🎄

Cheery from start to finish

Snowy lights, jingling bells, a cheeky villain who only wanted an invitation — and a happy ending worth racing for.

⏱️

A race to midnight

Sixty minutes until the clock tower strikes twelve. Can your elves find Santa in time?

💸

One price, whole team

At launch, one payment — — covers your whole team, not per person. Best with 2–8 players; friends join free.

How it works

1

Buy at launch

From October 15: check out securely, and your private room code and host link are emailed to you instantly.

2

Gather your elves

Share the code. Friends and family join free from any device — anything from one elf to a whole workshop.

3

Save Christmas

Pick your elves, start the clock, and chase the presents across the North Pole before midnight.

The secret ingredient: you each see something different

The List-Keeper reads the letters. The Wrapper reads the tags. The Navigator reads the map. The Toymaker reads the blueprints. Alone, each clue is a dead end — but together they unwrap the next present. It's the kind of game where the quiet cousin spots what everyone else missed, and the whole room cheers when the sleigh takes off.

Perfect for
