If you only play one Christmas room this year, make it this one. The hosting is key to this room and it was both hysterically funny and brilliantly done (thank you Ant!). As two elderly folk we were almost crying laughing most of the time. This game is very very suitable for families, the side game of collecting candy canes and the elf's mischievous methods of slowing you down are so much fun. 

In terms of the actual puzzles, a great variety as expected from Break Escape and a finale that has to be done, children will love it and anyone with an ounce of Christmas joy will too.

Having played in this room before when it was cyherdyne we were quite surprised at how much smaller the room is now! However this mini 45 minute experience was hysterically fun, with our host (one of santas elves) being a great recurring character throughout. We also especially enjoyed the bonus objective of finding the candy canes hidden around the room, with some additional puzzles required to get them all.

The room doesn't boast much uniqueness like their other rooms do here, but its a good fun Christmas room and if you are looking for something suitably festive you can't go wrong.

Another solid entry for cryptology, cant wait to see what new rooms they have up their sleeves!

A very festive room that will be suitable for pretty much all ages. A good range of puzzles with some nice bonus objectives.

A very humorous room with excellent hosting to accompany it!

This is a cute Christmas room that makes good use of a fairly small space. There are a couple of stand-out features and some nice puzzles. Nothing too challenging in here but a good dollop of festive fun with a bit of silliness thrown in.

A delightful christmas game that certainly filled our cups. Light on puzzles but definitely geared towards the younger audience.
