Turn Christmas into an outdoor family adventure: Get outside, explore together, search clues, solve puzzles and help Santa save the Holiday!
About this Event

Bring all your loved ones for a hilarious, holiday-themed adventure where Santa’s sleigh has crashed and scattered in pieces across the city. Together as a team, you’ll follow the magic trail through the city looking for clues, solving puzzles, completing dares, and collecting the pieces.

This real-world Christmas adventure is designed to spark curiosity, connection, and learning through fun outdoor play and, in case you get stuck, you'll also have Santa, Sparky, and Rudolph the Reindeer guiding (and roasting) you along the way.


Can you help Santa fix his sleigh and save Christmas in time?



HOW DOES IT WORK❓

This is a Christmas-themed outdoor exploration game that blends walking, story, and interactive puzzles:

  • You'll follow a route of 12 real locations in your city (hand-picked by us and safe to explore) with the help of the app on your phone.
  • At each location, you'll solve a puzzle or a challenge using your surroundings and unlock new chapters of the story.
  • The phone screen will be used minimally and meaningfully, just enough to get the next clue or puzzle. If your kids can read, they can play mostly on their own. If not, the parent becomes the host and teammate, making it a shared experience.
  • The game is perfect for all ages & group sizes: families, friends, date nights, kids adventures or even solo holiday heroes.
  • You can pause anytime and have a break for a hot chocolate or a cup of mulled wine.


Ready to solve puzzles, discover new places, and become heroes together for Christmas?
