Elijah Saves Christmas

Santa has vanished, and the Naughty List Elf has written everyone’s name on the Naughty List. Elijah has one night to deliver the presents himself and clear the list before sunrise.

  • From a snowy street and Santa’s Toy Factory to Christmas morning.
  • Dress up: the Yeti climbs walls and the Nutcracker walks straight through the little baddies.
  • Fly the sleigh and drop presents down the chimneys.
  • Sneak past the dozy parents in a hushed living room.

Elijah’s Halloween Quest

It’s Halloween night and there’s one job: fill the pillowcase and get home before the clock strikes twelve.

  • From Maple Drive to the Witching Hour, each street spookier than the last.
  • Monsters with manners. Throw a sweet and most of them stop to eat it. The bosses need a plan rather than a weapon.
  • Dress up: the Werewolf climbs walls and the Witch hovers.
