THE STORY

What awaits your team

Santa's workshop is in trouble and only your team can save the holiday. Half the elves are out, the books are upside-down, the hit toy of the year hasn't been designed, HR can't find new elves to hire, and global logistics is missing a flight plan. Santa is stuck in a meeting and called your team in to handle the four departments back-to-back.

Each stage is a recognizable office function parodied as a North Pole department. You'll do real management thinking — but the stakes are toy distribution and the props are reindeer. The kind of office parody that lands because everyone has lived it.

Save Christmas. Or explain to Santa why kids are getting empty boxes.

GAME STAGES

Inside the experience — 4 stages

Stage 1 visual — placeholder

Stage 1

Accounting

Pick your avatar and head to the elves in accounting. The books are a mess, the cookie-jar receipts don't tie out, and last quarter's gift-budget allocation is somewhere in a folder nobody can find. Reconcile the numbers and figure out where the missing reindeer feed money went.

Stage 2 visual — placeholder

Stage 2

Production

Lead the production line and design this year's hit toy. The team drafts the blueprint, calculates component quantities, picks the target audience, and ships under deadline. Whichever toy gets the most pre-orders in the simulated focus group wins.

Stage 3 visual — placeholder

Stage 3

HR

Santa's workshop is short-staffed. Help the elves write the job description, run the interviews, and decide which candidates get the offer. Each candidate has hidden constraints — flight schedules, dietary requirements, reindeer allergies.

Stage 4 visual — placeholder

Stage 4

Logistics

Travel between the elf offices worldwide to plan the global gift route for one Christmas Eve. Optimize for time zone, weather, fuel, and the fact that some kids ordered late. Fewer last-mile failures wins the leaderboard.

MAKE IT YOURS

Customize Mission: Save Christmas for your team

Three layers of customization. Make the game distinctly yours.

  • TYPE 1

    Your real org chart as the workshop staff

    Your departments map to the four North Pole departments — your real CFO becomes Head of Accounting, your real Head of People becomes Head of HR. Recognizable enough to land laughs, gentle enough not to embarrass anyone.

  • TYPE 2

    Your products as the toys being designed

    In the Production stage, the toy options reference your actual product line. The "hit toy" is themed to your annual roadmap or one of your real product launches.

  • TYPE 3

    Your year-end metrics as Santa's metrics

    The Accounting stage uses your actual year-end financial framing — 'cookie jar' becomes 'OpEx', 'gifts shipped' becomes 'units delivered'. Pulls double-duty as a year-in-review for the team.
