Twas the night before Christmas and the North Pole, Holiday joy was brimming inside every soul! When from Santa's room there arose such a clatter, Every elf sprang up to see what was the matter! "The List, it's missing!" Santa said with dismay, "And we simply must find it before Christmas Day!" "Find it - you must," Santa shouted, quite haughty, "Or the only List you'll be on will be 'Naughty'"!

Lots of time consuming puzzles, bring at least 4 people. 6 people will be a crowd in this room. Fun but for 2 experienced enthusiasts we just didn't have enough time to get through all the puzzles even though we were on the right track most of the way.

Gameplay

Challenging even if you know what you are supposed to do.

Kids could join because the theme is child friendly, the puzzles just really aren't. This would be more of an experienced/intuitive player solves and lets kids open the locks with the answers/keys etc, found in the room.

The gamemaster was in costume, gave the story live, and came in to give clues live. That's it.

Up and down standing/bending quite a lot.

Accessibility

Mobility devices can move in most of the room. Colors blindness would have an issue on at least 2 puzzles. Hearing would have an issue on 1 puzzle.

Very limited street parking but a garage is nearby.

This game has some fun elements, but also some frustrating components. One major gripe is there shouldn’t be 4-5 of the same locks and 2-4 of another.

Gameplay

For us, this room simply did not connect. There were 5+ of the same locks and the gameplay simply was flowing well.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere was festive and thematic. However, it felt like there were more things you couldn’t touch than allowed.

Customer service

Our GM was helpful and very alert (while in character).
