Legendary quizmaster Frank Paul invites us into our favourite Christmas stories – with a twist.

You’ll try to escape the devious traps set by a cold-blooded child genius, save Christmas from the vengeful monster Grod, and navigate the perils of a mysterious workshop with sinister plans. From conundrums told entirely in Seussian verse to inscrutable cryptic poems, Frank’s puzzles offer an anti-social alternative to all the revelry!
