Our take on Santa Tracker
The focus on Santa’s route and seasonal updates keeps the experience narrow; it gives up the broader systems and varied objectives found in larger simulation or adventure games.
What is Santa Tracker?
Santa Tracker follows Santa’s preparations for Christmas and his journey on Christmas Eve.
Its globe tracks his route around the world, while a countdown marks the approach of the holiday. The Advent Calendar features sightings from the days before Christmas, with examples such as Santa at the toy factory, going for a ride, or taking a tea break. A blog shares updates from Santa, alongside news stories and letters from the North Pole. On Christmas Eve, Santa travels through every time zone, from New Zealand to San Francisco after children have gone to sleep.
