Attention Echo Team,

With only hours until Christmas Eve, we have just received the worst news of all. The Sniglets have managed to capture Santa Claus and are holding him hostage. Worry not the Elite Elf Squad has already been dispatched to rescue him, but without Santa, Christmas as we know it is in jeopardy.

After meeting with the Council for Elves, Pepper Minstix (Head of Elf-Land Security) has advised us that the only course of action at this time is to evoke โ€˜The Santa Clauseโ€™. As our top team it is your job to report to the North Pole and oversee the effective execution of โ€˜The Santa Clauseโ€™. As always time is of the essence and you only have a 60 minute window in which to save Christmas! We hope you and your team is ready, as only you can elf them.

As always good luck and stay safe,

We played this room in August but it didn't matter, it was still full of Christmas magic. A wonderful room to take kids to with lots for them to do while still keeping the adults on their toes.

I love Christmas, so this was always going to be a win in my book! We all wore our festive jumpers in February... my children (aged 4 & 8) loved it. The puzzles were a mix of difficulty and the ending was great fun! The team at Timequest are so friendly and enthusiastic. Would highly recommend!

I LOVE Christmas rooms, they're bright and glittery and make you smile, and this one definitely made me smile! Theres an extra star on here for the epic Christmas song which I took great delight in singing to the rest of the team (I don't think they were quite as happy about my singing tho!). Some wonderfully themed puzzles, some of which were a delightful surprise, and of course the wonderful finale and team photo opportunity. I LOVED IT ALL.

Who doesn't love a christmas room?  Puzzles are appropriately themed and covers a wide range of skill sets, also get ready for a song that will become your next ear worm!

Iโ€™ll admit to being a natural Grinch on whom the joys of Christmas spirit are largely wasted, and so I normally only play one or two festive games each year; TimeQuestโ€™s was my only such physical room for the 2021 season, so I was glad to find it was a good one. Elf Magic 2 has you filling in for a kidnapped Santa, sorting out presents to save Christmas.

Thatโ€™s a familiar sort of plot, and the game is full of familiar elements, drawing on the usual palette of Christmas themes. But it buzzes wit...
