The Lost Gifts – Printable Christmas Game for Kids Ages 8+
Just days before Christmas Eve, disaster strikes at Santa’s workshop: all the gifts have vanished. No one saw anything. No clues were left behind. And the clock is ticking.
Santa needs sharp young investigators to take over the case. Kids will follow a structured mission filled with logic puzzles, riddles, and deduction challenges to uncover what happened—and recover the missing presents before Christmas is ruined. The story feels exciting, the pacing keeps kids engaged, and the final reveal delivers a rewarding “we solved it!” moment.
