As the clock strikes eight in the North Pole, Santa's workshop is buzzing with excitement and mischief. The elves have just finished wrapping presents but are refusing to go to bed. It is a chaotic scene; snowballs flying, glitter everywhere, cookies crumbled and the candy cane stash is rapidy disappearing. 

You, the Head Elf, have been tasked with a mission: get the cheeky elves to bed before Santa arrives to inspect the workshop! You have one hour to gather as many elves as you can and put a stop to their Christmas Eve antics.

I recently played this escape room, and where do I even begin? For puzzle enthusiasts, this game is an absolute gem. It’s a collect-a-thon-style experience with no set goal of escaping, but instead, the aim is to put as many elves to bed as possible. The game is packed with a variety of puzzles, making it ideal for a larger team β€” I’d say four people is the perfect size, allowing you to split up and tackle different challenges. Trust me, you’ll need to!

I played as a two, which was enjoyable, but we quickly realised that completing everything would be a stretch due to the sheer amount of puzzles. It’s not about rushing to the end; it’s about enjoying the journey and solving as many puzzles as you can to put those elves to bed. The puzzles are engaging and fun, with some lovely 'Kick Me Moments'.

One minor critique is I personally felt that some of the puzzles could use a little more signposting. As at times, it was difficult to tell whether we were solving a bonus puzzle or progressing the main challenge, which led to a bit of confusion. We found ourselves jumping between the two, but the game master did an excellent job of guiding us and keeping us on track.

Overall, this game is a real treat, especially for anyone who loves a good puzzle. The sheer variety and volume of puzzles kept us entertained, and the light-hearted, elf-themed goal added a unique twist. I genuinely enjoyed the experience, and I can’t recommend it enough. Well done to the Locked In team β€” you've created something truly special! πŸ‘

I’ve rated this game as quite difficult, not because the puzzles themselves are particularly hard, but due to the sheer volume of puzzles you need to solve if you’re aiming to collect everything.
