Christmas Quest

Where are we?
You and your classmates were helping Father Christmas prepare for
Christmas. You spent weeks in Father Christmas’s grotto, making and
wrapping Christmas presents for children all around the world.
Finally, on the night before Christmas, you all loaded up the sleigh with
all of the presents, ready for Father Christmas to deliver. In the rush to
begin his trip though, Father Christmas accidently left you behind!
Now you are stranded at the North Pole with no way to get home in
time for Christmas! The only way to get home is to unlock Father
Christmas’s phone and call someone to rescue you.
