Reindeer Racing 2026: Christmas Party Game for Adults & Children, Classrooms and Offices.

# 🦌 REINDEER RACING 2026 – THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS PARTY GAME! 🎄🏆

**The reindeer are BACK... and this Christmas, the stakes have never been higher!**

Turn your Christmas gathering into a reindeer race night - whether you're bringing together family and friends, hosting an office Christmas party or planning festive classroom fun. Pick your favourites, cheer through six fully hosted races and compete for the Golden Antler title, with race cards for adults and children and a companion app included.

HOW THE GAME WORKS

Pick your racer. Study the form, compare the contenders or simply choose your favourite.

Watch and cheer. Play the hosted race on your main screen and enjoy the presenter, commentary and festive racing action.

Reveal the points. The host uses the companion app to calculate scores and update the league after each race.
Play individually or in teams, then crown your overall champion after the sixth race.

FOR FAMILIES, FRIENDS, OFFICES AND CLASSROOMS

Family Christmas gatherings, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Christmas parties with friends and groups of adults.

Office Christmas parties and internal workplace celebrations.

Classroom Christmas parties and end-of-term activities.
Colleagues can compete by table or department. Classes can play in table groups or teams, with the teacher recording choices on one host device. Pupils do not need their own phones.

COMPANION APP INCLUDED
Browse the race cards, save personal picks, manage your players or teams and follow the league. The official finishing orders are already built into the app: after each race, the host reveals the points and the app calculates the scores.
Show the standings on a TV or projector, then celebrate your champion. Short guides explain each section as you go. The app also includes a team builder, invitations, certificates and Christmas tie-breakers.

Players can send saved picks to the host through WhatsApp, another sharing option or a picks file. The host reviews and imports the choices, or enters them directly. Printed materials and shared race information work too, so individual player phones are optional.

FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN
Adults can study the form and get competitive over their favourites. Children can use the simpler children's race cards or choose the racer they like best. There are no quiz questions to answer or racing controls to learn. Younger children may need help reading the cards.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this for adults or children?
Both. It works for groups of adults and mixed-age families, as well as office and classroom groups. Adults can study the form; children can use the simpler children's race cards or choose a favourite. Younger children may need reading help.

Can I use this listing for an office party or classroom?
Yes. This main listing includes internal office or workplace celebrations and classroom activities, as well as private family and friends' gatherings. Colleagues can compete in teams; a teacher can run a class from one host device without pupil phones.

Does everybody need a phone?
No. Use the printable materials or show the race information to the group, then let the host or teacher record the choices. A phone is a convenient option for players who want to browse and share their own picks.

What does the companion app do?
It includes digital race cards, personal picks and sharing, host pick import, automatic scoring, a league table and TV display. It also includes guided help, invitations, certificates, team tools and Christmas tie-breakers.

Do picks appear on the host screen automatically?
Players send the complete picks message or file to the host. The host reviews and imports it. Saving a choice on a phone does not send it automatically; each device keeps its own app data.

How does the automatic scoring work?
The official race results are built into the app. After watching each race, the host reveals the points and the app calculates the scores and updates the league. The host controls the reveal.

How many people can play?
Play individually or in teams. The app accepts up to 200 player or team entries. Teams make larger parties and classes easier to organise.

How long should we allow?
Around 30-40 minutes for a typical six-race game. Discussion and breaks can make it longer, and you can spread the races throughout your Christmas event.

Can we use a TV or projector?
Yes. Run the races from a laptop or desktop computer connected to a TV, projector or classroom display using your usual supported connection. Test picture and sound before the event.

Can we play remotely?
Yes. Share the race screen and computer audio through your video-call software. Players can send their choices to the host. Test your screen and audio sharing before the event.

Do players control the reindeer, and do the winners change?
Players predict the outcome and watch the hosted action; they do not steer the racers. Each of the six supplied races has a fixed finishing result, so replaying that race gives the same result. Avoid spoilers for new players.

What arrives after purchase?
A Start Here PDF downloaded from Etsy, containing access links and instructions for the online races, companion app and supporting printables. No physical product is posted.

Can I use it at a pub, fundraiser or public event?
For pubs, clubs, ticketed events, fundraisers and other public race nights, choose the separate Commercial Edition. This main listing covers private gatherings, internal workplace celebrations and classroom activities.
