Snow swirled outside the windows of Santa’s Post Office, but inside things were far worse than the weather. Chaos. Panic. Disaster. Every parcel, every single one, was locked away tight in the mail lockers… and somehow, all the combinations have been lost. Without the parcels, there can be no Christmas deliveries. And without Christmas deliveries… well, what’s the point of Santa at all?

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the reindeer are digging in their hooves. Rudolph and his friends flat-out refuse to leave the stables until they have their stardust the shimmering, celestial magic that gives them the power to fly across the world. Trouble is, that precious stardust has been blown outside into the middle of a raging snowstorm.

Your mission is clear: recover as many parcels as you can from the post office. Every gift you rescue will buy you precious time out in the blizzard, where you’ll need to search for the scattered stardust. The more parcels you collect, the longer you’ll survive in the storm and the better your chances of getting Santa’s sleigh off the ground before Christmas is lost forever.

The locks are waiting. The storm is rising. The reindeer are restless. Can you save Christmas before the snow buries it for good?

Escapable have a knack for delivering (excuse the postal pun) a great game and this festive offering is no different; walking into a room filled with padlocks won't be everybody's Christmas wish but for us, it was just what we asked for from Santa Claus and we loved the busy, classic Christmas chaos of it all.

It's all wrapped up (sorry again) in a fun finale that can't help making you smile.

We were lucky enough to be able to test this game out this evening, with our daughters 5 & 8.

Wow! We loved it. 

In terms of visuals, there is a lot to take in on stepping into the room! Very well set up, with lots of colour and a real Christmas feel.

We brought our girls who love to accompany us and have done a few games with us in the past, however they can sometimes be distracting.

This room was perfect for children and families; as there were the right mix of difficulty levels with the puzzles, but they were all appealing to the girls; and we were able to include them and get their involvement on a fair few.

The ending was fantastic! 

As always with Escapable there has been a lot of thought put into this room and it flows brilliantly - once you get the hang of what you’re doing! 

Definitely one to add to your list whether you’re a couple, a group of friends or work colleagues , or a family with young children like us!
