Christmas game questions
What Christmas games can I make?
Five kinds, all in a Christmas theme: a treasure hunt to find the presents, a mystery (who stole Santa’s list?), a home escape room in Santa’s workshop, a Christmas quiz and a read-aloud adventure for little elves aged 4 to 7.
Can I use the treasure hunt to hide the Christmas presents?
Yes, that is the favorite. Choose the hiding spots you have at home, type what the treasure is (for example “the presents under the tree”) and the last clue leads the children to it on Christmas morning.
Does it work for a family party with adults and kids?
Yes. Set the age range from the youngest to the oldest player: clues adapt, and teams can mix ages. The Christmas quiz and the mystery work well after the Christmas meal.
Is it really free?
Yes. You create, preview and print the whole kit for free, without an account. Print it in color, ink saver or black and white, on A4 or US Letter.
How long does it take to prepare?
About 10 minutes: create the game, print it, cut the cards and hide them using the hiding plan. Every kit includes hints and a full answer key.
