It’s a nightmare before Christmas!

Christmas is a hectic time for many people. There’s gifts to make or buy, then there’s all the wrapping and hiding them away until the big day. And how anyone is supposed to fit in festive snacking among all this activity is beyond us. But nobody on the entire planet is as busy as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Could you deliver around five billion presents in less than a day? It takes us ages to walk to the post box and send a letter. He’s a superhero, no doubt about it.

While we’ve not had a chat with Santa in a while, we expect his run-up to Christmas is pretty well organised and everything is planned to the last second. Presents? Check. Sleigh ready? Check. Beard combed? Sure, why not. The last thing he’d want to happen is any of his reindeer calling in sick just before his epic journey begins. But even worse is being trapped in a series of towers, with long pins holding back molten hot lava threatening to melt his gifts. And if that’s not enough, there’s angry snow people wandering around looking to cause mischief and ruin his – and our – Christmas morning.

The Santa Rescue game is where YOU come in. Using your problem solving skills, you’re required to tap the pins to remove them to release his gifts. Some will be holding back lava and cold water, so work out which order to slide back to allow the lava to fall first, then the water, which will turn the lava into cool rock and Santa safe! Don’t remove any pins that will put him in danger, and for goodness sake, don’t let any snow people get near him or you’ll have to start again. There’s 30 levels of increasing difficultly.

Good luck!
