Today at the North Pole

The part of the North Pole that changes. Free to play, no account, and a reason for your family to come back through the Christmas season.

The daily three

  • The daily puzzle — the night shift at the Sleigh Station. A small ordering puzzle, solved by deduction in a few minutes. Households that solve it on consecutive days keep a streak.
  • The Daily Alibi — one Christmas mishap and three ridiculous defences. Your family picks the one it will stand behind.
  • The Incident Log — what the North Pole admits to.

Also at the North Pole

  • North Pole Court — a summons, a defence, a family vote and a verdict. Every case on the docket can be heard tonight. On the docket: The Seven-Bow Parcel.
  • North Pole News — the bulletin from the news desk. Last bulletin: The Casting Desk Has Opinions (From the archive · Thursday 12 November).

What carries over

Whatever your family does here is kept in your household’s record on the device you played on. A solved puzzle, an alibi, a defence or a verdict comes back later on the Newsroom’s wire, and Santa’s letter in the Study can mention it. There is no account to make. More about the North Pole →
