The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes – More About the Game

From the moment you start playing The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes you instantly enter a festive world filled with holiday magic. Players can take on the role of a Scout Elf-in training and work their way through the 24 levels that cover the North Pole. The levels are entered through a beautiful advent calendar which is a nice touch!

The game is packed with playful puzzles, fun mini-games and Christmas-themed challenges. It’s easy for young players to play too, thanks to the easy-to-use controls and accessibility options (auto-collection and invincibility mode). 

Testing The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes

My children and I have started playing this new game today. My 9-year-old and my 11-year-old have played it so far but my 6-year-old will enjoy it too, I’m sure. They all love the wintery Christmassy theme and playing as a Scout Elf.

The game is super easy to get into and has lots of varied challenges through the 24 levels. My eldest said the game works very similarly to the The Grinch: Christmas Adventures Game which is a game she’s played a lot and enjoys.

The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes is now available on all major consoles and PC.
