Cute and fun obstacle course game.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The graphics are so cute and the theme and colors are all on brand. The levels appeared like an advent calendar. There were little blurbs explaining what to do or avoid. I liked how each level progressed in more challenges with added elf customization options and the mini games were fun little additions. My son played too and enjoyed it. He boasted that he was faster than me as placing puzzle pieces which of course he was. Everything loaded quickly, download was fast and there weren't any glitches. Overall, a cute game especially for the holidays.

Cute Elf Holiday Game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a cute game. Its great for kids or people who aren't avid gamers but want something simple to play. It brings me joy. The elf is so cute and the graphics are lively and bright. You go through the levels collecting Christmas spirit, avoiding objects coming at you, and play mini games such as fixing a puzzle or finding your way through a maze. As the game runs, the challenges get harder. This games puts me in the Holiday spirit.

Cute game for cold Christmas days.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think it's very cute game for a little kids. Specifically around the Christmas time. You do a good long tutorial, where the game will teach you how to play. I like the graphic. It's cute. Its not fast game, perfect for young kids. I let it try my 7 and 9 yo. The 7 year old loved it and it's better than me. For the older one it's not that good. I think it's too simple for that age.

Easy Game for kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an easy game with kids with levels like an advent calendar. Cute game but levels aren’t much different so relatively same gameplay. Good game for children who don’t want a challenge

Fun, magical
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Me and my kids enjoy playing this game. It is so much fun making the elf run, jump, swing, and avoid obstacles - snowball, tacks yourself, etc - while collecting points.. The game is very interactive. There is elf customization, puzzles, and mazes along with the actual game collecting 'Christmas Spirit'. There were a couple of times it froze. It's a great game for the whole family.
