About this quest
Christmas Operation: Sleigh Down is a hilarious, holiday-themed adventure game where Santa’s sleigh has crash-landed and Christmas Spirit is leaking across the city. As Ground Control, you’ll follow the magic trail through 12 locations, solving puzzles, completing dares, and collecting the Elements of Spirit to restart the sleigh. With Santa, Sparky, and Rudolph guiding (and roasting) you along the way, this interactive scavenger-hunt-meets-story-game will have your group laughing all the way. Will you save Christmas? 🎅🎄
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Families with kids, friends showing visiting relatives around downtown, and coworkers planning a festive team outing get a funny story game. Santa's sleigh has crash-landed, and you solve puzzles and dares at stops like Hank the Cowboy Statue, Civic Treasures Kissing Camels and Acacia Park over about two hours and 2.7 km. If you want a Christmas lights walk or a warm indoor escape room, pick something else.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Where does the Christmas scavenger hunt start and finish?
The route is a 2.7 km loop. It starts at The Pumpkin Man and continues past Truffles, Hank the Cowboy Statue, Civic Treasures Kissing Camels, the Butterflies Mural and Acacia Park, then finishes at Plaza Of The Rockies. The app leads you from stop to stop in that order.
How long does it take?
Most players take about two hours, including walking and solving the puzzles along the 2.7 km route. There is no fixed pace, and you can pause the game and continue later if you want a break for food or hot drinks.
Is it good for kids?
It is built for laughs, with Santa, Sparky and Rudolph guiding and teasing the group while you solve puzzles and complete dares to collect the Elements of Spirit. It suits children who can walk about 2.7 km and enjoy puzzles. Younger ones will likely need adults to help.
Can we play as a group or for an office Christmas outing?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together on the route, so friends, family or coworkers can team up as Ground Control and work through the puzzles and dares side by side.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. You start whenever you like at The Pumpkin Man, with no group to join and no guide to meet. The game runs on your phone, and you can pause and pick it up again later.
