Joystick
The default. An on-screen thumbstick you can move anywhere on the screen.
About the game
A cozy maze game with a Christmas heart
Santa's Maze Adventure is a landscape maze game for Android about one simple, satisfying job: find every gift, then find the way out.
The concept
Calm, not cruel.
There are no enemies to dodge, no lives to lose and no game over screen. The maze itself is the challenge — and the only clock you are racing is your own.
Each level drops Santa on the edge of a freshly built maze. Gifts are spread through its corridors and the exit is a locked door that stays sealed until the very last one has been collected. Pick up the final gift and the gate opens; reach it and Santa glides inside as the doors swing shut behind him.
Your time decides your stars. Every level has a par time worked out from the size of its maze, so a bigger maze earns you more time — but finishing quickly still takes a clean route and a steady thumb.
How to play
Three ways to steer
Swipe
Drag anywhere on the board to steer.
Both
Stick and swipe together — use whichever your thumb reaches first.
Move with feel
Push the stick a little and Santa walks; push it further and he runs, then sprints. Speed comes at a price: clip a wall too fast and he stumbles, hit one flat out and he takes a tumble in a burst of snow — felt through haptic feedback if you have it switched on.

The worlds
Four worlds, four difficulty curves
All four worlds are open from the start and every one has its own music. Each has an endless ladder of levels: the maze grows as you climb, and fewer dead ends are opened up into loops, until the world reaches its hardest settings at level 24.
World 1
Snowy Village
“Where every window glows”
Lantern-lit lanes, cottages and Christmas trees. The village grows slowly and forgives longest — the place to find your feet.
- Maze size
- 6×11 → 12×21
- Dead ends reopened
- 34% → 10%
- Character
- The gentle one
World 2
Winter Forest
“Quiet pines, deep drifts”
Snowy paths wind between tall pines, log cabins and frozen ponds. The corridors close in sooner than in the village.
- Maze size
- 7×13 → 13×23
- Dead ends reopened
- 28% → 6%
- Character
- Tighter corridors sooner
World 3
Ice Castle
“Halls of frozen light”
Crystal halls and glowing ice. The castle starts bigger, grows fastest and stops forgiving altogether — by its late levels every dead end stays a dead end.
- Maze size
- 8×17 → 15×27
- Dead ends reopened
- 16% → 0%
- Character
- The hardest
World 4
Santa's Workshop
“Where it all gets made”
Holly hedges, cobbled yards and warm workshop lights. Roomy at first — and unforgiving once you climb its ladder.
- Maze size
- 7×15 → 14×25
- Dead ends reopened
- 22% → 3%
- Character
- Big yards, unforgiving late
The Santas
One hero, four coats
Every Santa is unlocked from day one and handles exactly the same. Each comes fully animated in four directions — idle, walk, run, wall hit, fall, stand up.
Classic Santa
Red coat
Frost Santa

Evergreen Santa
