7 pages: Head Elf Nutmeg's story letter, the escape tracker and the first two locks — the Twinkle Tree and the Elf Code — with their hint cards and a host answer check for those two locks only. No spoilers.
📖The story
Buttons the reindeer sneezed on Santa's control panel and the sleigh locked itself up with 10 silly locks. Your kids crack every code, open the final Sleigh Lock and save Christmas before midnight.
Ten puzzle types
Each lock is a different kind of puzzle, so readers, counters and logic fans all get a turn. The ten codes open the final Sleigh Lock.

- 2The Elf Code — number, reverse and shift cipher
- 3The Gift Scale — picture equations
- 4Reindeer Run — maze and letter-shift code
- 5The Wrapping Room — 4-elf logic grid
- 6Snowed-In Words — unscramble Christmas words
- 7Cookie Patterns — what comes next
- 8Hidden Word Hunt — word search with a secret message
- 9The Clock Tower — time math
- 10Santa's Mirror — read Santa's backwards note

Do I need to print in color?
No. It prints in color or black and white.
Can one child play alone?
Yes. It works for 1 to 10 players, solo or as one team.
What does the grown-up do?
The host sets up the envelopes, reads the story letter, checks codes and hands out hint cards when the kids are stuck.
Is it right for ages 6–8?
It is challenging for that age. Ages 6–8 should play with a grown-up solving alongside them.
Can I use it in my classroom?
Yes. It is licensed for personal and single-classroom use.
Can I print it more than once?
Print what your own family or class needs. Please don't share or resell the file.
