About High Five Santa
A quick look at where the idea came from and where it’s going.
A festive holiday arcade
High Five Santa began as a tiny holiday experiment: could we capture the feeling of a perfectly timed high five with Santa in a simple, one-tap game?
In October 2025, Elf Rob set out to build a cozy, browser-based arcade that anyone could play for free—on phones, tablets, or desktops. Each holiday season will bring a fresh release of the game, new polish, and a few surprises to discover.
If you're a game designer or developer who wants to join Elf Rob on this challenge, please reach out via the contact form with your interest in the project. And if you spot a bug or something that feels off, let an elf know—your feedback helps make High Five Santa better for everyone.
Design goals
- 🎮 Easy to learn in seconds, fun to replay again and again.
- 📱 Playable on phones, tablets, and desktops with simple, one-handed controls.
- 🎄 Wholesome, light-hearted holiday vibes only—no stress, just cheer.
- 🏆 Local and global scoreboards to celebrate big streaks and epic runs.
- 🌟 Sticker unlocks and custom friend challenges to share the fun.
What's next?
We're exploring seasonal events, new leaderboard ideas, and fun cosmetics so each visit feels just a little bit different—from fresh stickers to new ways to show off your best runs. One day, we'd even love to experiment with head-to-head play.
If you have suggestions, ideas, or feature wishes, please share them with us through the contact form. High Five Santa is a small holiday project with big dreams, and we'd love to hear what you think.
