24 nights. 60 seconds a round. One Family Champion crowned on Christmas Eve.
A quick, hilarious game every night from December 1 to Christmas Eve, made from things you already have at home: plastic cups, candy canes, gift bows, cotton balls, oven mitts, a phone timer. No batteries, no apps, no shopping trips every night.
Built so everyone can win, from age 3 to 93
