Christmas Delivery Game Mode


Deliver the Christmas gifts from all the residents of the local town in a fun and relaxed puzzle-style game mode. Find all 14 gifts and deliver each gift to the houses in the snowy-filled town! You can find it from the 'Career Modes' menu from the title screen!


Personalise your company name and identity at the start of the game mode to feel at home in your own custom warehouse experience! The logo will be displayed around the warehouse - look out for it!


Deliver all the gifts to the town to light up the building decorations!


Instead of delivering specific packages, you'll need to find the gift boxes hidden around the warehouse since the Roomba-Bots got mis-programmed and froze down in the snowy temperatures.
