This is an engaging game that, although designed for children, can be just as enjoyable for adults.
You take on the role of an elf given the task of guarding Santa's magic items. However, you fall asleep and the items are stolen! Not wishing to let Santa down, you take off on a quest to recover the stolen items.

Taking the form of a point-and-click adventure, you must explore your surroundings and search high and low for the magic items. There are many places to go, and to ensure you are kept on your toes there are plenty of objects to pick up, puzzles to solve and questions to answer.

As you've probably guessed, there is no violence in this game, the emphasis being on using your imagination and lateral thinking skills to recover the stolen items.

The game is suitable for all ages, although younger children may need to be accompanied while playing the game due to some of the puzzles and tasks. However, they will enjoy the animation and sound; and of course, it will help to improve their reading and problem-solving skills.

This download allows you to play a fair portion of the game, but to get the most out of it, and to be able to complete it, you will need to register.
Verdict

A great game that will still be appealing long after the festive season.
