Escape Hour Austin: Hijacked on the Holiday Express

It’s expansive up here in the North Pole!

There's Santa's Workshop, the town square, the Naughty Or Nice Headquarters, and many other places of interest as well.  

These places aren’t near each other, however. Many miles stretch between locations. That’s why the North Pole has an enchanted train – the Holiday Express – manned by our very own Railroad Engineer: Charlie. The Holiday Express travels between each destination every day!

With so many jobs to do before Christmas, we called on you and your elf friends! This year, you have been assigned to Present Fulfillment. 

Your job is simple: acquire the final shipment of presents from Santa's workshop and use the Holiday Express to deliver it to the Townsquare. Load the shipment of presents into Santa's toy bag just in time for the First Gift Of Christmas ceremony, and kick off Christmas as we know it! 

Well, it was supposed to be simple. 

It was only 30 minutes into your long journey from Santa's Workshop to the town square when the locomotive shuddered and came to a screeching halt. Lights started to flicker, and a frigid, dense layer of air settled within the cabin. 

Your priorities have now shifted: get to the bottom of what happened! Is someone trying to sabotage Christmas? Where's Charlie? You have 60 minutes to get the train up and running, and ensure the presents are still accounted for. If you don't finish in 70 minutes or less, you won't have enough time to make the ceremony, and Christmas will be ruined for millions! 

Time to burn the midnight oil, Elves! It's all up to you!
