Key Outcomes
how it works
Participants connect in an online breakout room and elect a ‘Santa’ while the others take on the role of Elves in the game app. The objective is to virtually race through the night delivering toys to children in as many countries as possible before dawn breaks. Teams complete festive themed challenges to earn carrots that keep their reindeer flying. The Elves can see the challenges but can’t input the answers. The Santas can input answers and take photos but don’t know the challenges until guided by the Elves. A bonus crate of carrots awaits the team who delivers the ideal set of toys. A countdown clock on each of the six continent stages maintains the pace. Final scores can be converted to support a selected charity.
