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 after a Christmas outing, friends showing visiting relatives around, and coworkers planning an office party get a silly, festive story game across downtown Tampa: puzzles, dares and a crashed sleigh to restart over about 90 minutes and 2.2 km, past Old City Hall, Tampa Theatre and Sacred Heart Catholic Church. If you would rather see Christmas lights, have a live host or stay indoors in an escape room, choose something else.

How long does it take and how far do we walk?

Can we play as a group or for an office Christmas party?
