Beat the Box Rescue Santa

Beat the Box Rescue Santa is a festive escape-game-inspired team building activity where teams race against the clock to solve Christmas-themed puzzles, unlock a series of mystery boxes, and crack the final code to rescue Santa before time runs out. It combines problem-solving, teamwork, and holiday fun in an engaging experience that's perfect for end-of-year celebrations.

Each team receives a locked aluminium box containing a series of festive clues, puzzles, and mystery cases.
