Overview

Each puzzle is a short row of emoji that spells out something Christmassy: a carol, a tradition, a character or a phrase. Players write their guesses on the sheet, then swap and mark with the answer key.

The rounds get a little harder as you go, so younger players can shine early and adults still have something to think about. It also works on a shared screen for a video call party.

Questions

How do you play a Christmas emoji game?

Hand out the sheets, set a 5-minute timer per round and write what each emoji string stands for. One point per right answer.

How hard is it?

Round 1 is easy; the later rounds take more thinking. Teams of mixed ages do well.

Can I play it online?

Yes. Share the pages on screen and have everyone write answers on paper.
