What Makes Santa's Journey Stand Out
Santa Claus has 60 seconds to complete each stage in order to make sure he delivers all the presents in time for Christmas morning. You are Santa in this retro inspired Christmas video game app. Explore the 25 stages of Santa's world as you make your way from the North Pole to deliver presents to children and then back again to come home to Mrs. Claus. This single player holiday game can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages in your family. Stickers are also now available in compilation to this app so you can place Santa's Journey stickers in iMessage. HO HO HO! Merry Christmas!
This Family game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Easy, Retro, Fun and An Instant Classic! Our six year old and our 96 year old grand father can both play and enjoy this game. The detail and attention to game play along with awesome music is a game that can be played all year round but especially enjoyable during the Christmas season. Highly recommend.
Games like this are rare. Sure its simple in approach but the pixel art and level design are well-executed, proof this one-man dev team has a plethora of talent.
Downloaded this game and played with our kids. Gets us in the Christmas Spirit! The retro graphics are fun and the controls are easy enough that our young kids can navigate the game. They love it.
Love the idea and the execution. Fun all year round for Santa enthusiasts and beyond.
As a product of the Atari and Nintendo 1 era, we love the simplicity of this game. Its fun and whimsical.
Love this game! The music is a lot really catchy. Great to play year round, especially when you wish it was still Christmas.
This is by far the best old-school styled Christmas game Ive ever played.
Very cute Christmas game! Our kids and we love it.
