Unlock the Christmas Fun

The Elfxpedition app is one that most certainly celebrates the fun aspects of the holiday season. The way the game works is that kids will be using the device's camera to search around their home and other places for flying elves. The app uses augmented reality to make this happen. When they spot an elf they need to move it into the green circle on the screen and then tap on it in order to capture the elf. When they capture an elf they are awarded points and the more points they get, the more activities and games they'll be able to unlock.

Gaming Features

There are a few fun features to point out in the Elfxpedition app such as the fact they aren't completely on their own when it comes to finding elves. Because it can be hard to spot these tricky little guys they can use the Elf Detector which is on the screen. The detector will show a green dot where there are flying elves so they know which direction to look. Their points also appear on the screen so they always know how much they have.

Because this game is using augmented reality it really gives kids a more immersive experience. How fun is it from their point of view to see flying elves right in their bedroom, living room, kitchen, and elsewhere? The game concept is easy enough for younger kids to understand and enjoy but they may have difficulty when it comes to catching the elves, which is why it has been rated for those six to eight years of age.
