Participants connect in an online breakout room, elect a 'Santa' and the others take on the role of Elves.Their objective is to race through the night delivering toys to the children in as many countries as possible, before the dawn breaks. Teams complete festive themed challenges with to earn carrots to keep the reindeer flying. The Elves can see the challenges but can’t input the answers. Santa can input answers and take photos but doesn’t know the challenges until guided by the Elves. A bonus crate of carrots awaits the team who complete the ideal set of toys. A countdown clock on each of the six continent stages, maintains the pace. The team to finish all the stages with the highest score wins.
