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 started as a playful holiday experiment: could we capture the feeling of giving Santa a perfectly timed high five in a single-tap game?
Starting in October 2025 for the upcoming holiday season, the developer, Elf Rob, was on a mission to create a quality, browser-driven, free game for anyone to play. Each year, a new release of the game will happen before the holiday season, and each year it will get better!
If you are a game designer, and wish to join Elf Rob in a challenging mission, please reach out via the contact form with your stated interest in the project. If you see a bug or issue with the game, please reach out and let an elf know.
Design goals
- Easy to learn in seconds, fun for many plays.
- Playable on phones, tablets, and desktops.
- Wholesome, light-hearted holiday vibes only.
- Local and Global scoreboards.
- Sticker unlocks and custom friend challenge invites.
What is next?
We are exploring seasonal events, new leaderboards, and fun cosmetics so each visit feels just a little bit different. Even head-to-head play one day. If you have suggestions, please feel free to share them via the contact form.
