This game gets families who love Christmas to try a new activity every day in the lead up to Christmas
The Advent Calendar Edition of the Getting Lost Game has 24 Christmas activities to do in the lead up to Christmas.
Over the course of 24 days we’ll have you giving to others, making Santa Grotto’s in your lounge, rewriting Christmas carols, making your lunch in Christmas shapes, learning new things, hunting for Christmassy things in your neigbourhood, saying ho ho ho when you see a red car and dressing each other for the day!
Our directions are all designed to be low cost and accessible without a lot of set up or effort required.

I've been meaning to make something like this for my family to play for many years now and never get around to it. I hate how commercial Christmas is, but do like the efforts that my family make to get together and share some good times. This game brings the fun of an advent calendar without the ridiculous amount of chocolate or clutter of a standard advent calendar. I've had a flick through the cards and they all look to be really fun activities that we can do together, that focus on kindness. Really happy with it.

I brought Getting Lost Edition Advent Calendar as a gift and I'm sure that the will enjoy it as much as all the other reviews.
Thanks so much for the review. Happy adventuring.

Some of these ideas work well with our Christmas build up... today's card was to have lunch in Christmas shapes so we had Christmas tree pancakes with Christmas dogs plating in the background! It's helping me to get into the Christmas spirit... which I usually struggle, so thankyou

I have read through all the cards but have yet to start playing (brought this almost a month ahead of the advent season as I started planning for Christmas). The cards look like a lot of fun although some may need to be tweaked to match my personal circumstances (such as the parent/children race as I don't have children of my own and I am pretty sure my cats won't bother racing me).
Love the design of the cards and the inclusion of the wishlist space on the back however I probably won't write on the back of them and would probably have loved them even more if they had included Christmassy pictures on the back (especially ones that were representative of a New Zealand Christmas). But that wont impact my enjoyment of the game itself thats just a personal preference.

Love the cards. Haven't had feedback from my young niece as she won't see them until 1 December, but I am sure she'll love them.
