Hi there! We're Mathieu and Eliot, two students from the UTT in France.

Do you remember the magic of believing in Christmas as a child—the joy, the presents from Santa Claus, and the happiness all around? We want to spread that magic even further!

That’s why we need your support to bring our new game, "Santa Claus is Locked Up!", to life.

The game's plot is quite simple yet exciting: The magic of Christmas is on the brink of disappearing! Santa Claus is mysteriously locked up in a cellar within his own workshop. You play as a determined elf, and your mission is to rescue Santa in time to save Christmas and deliver joy to kids all around the world.

We believe this game—though short and simple—can bring you pure happiness and festive cheer as you play and complete it.

Our target:

We're aiming to raise $10,000 in 60 days to cover essential costs, including:

- Equipment (such as computers)

- Advertising to spread the project

- The salary of our talented game designer.

Rewards for your support:

Pledge $10: Receive a coffee mug shaped like a Christmas tree.

Pledge $100: Get a pair of cozy Christmas pajamas filled with a variety of candies.

Pledge $1,000: Receive a one-way ticket to visit Santa’s industry near Lapland!

Help us make "Santa Claus is Locked Up!" a reality and bring the magic of Christmas to life for everyone. Together, we can create the most magical Christmas adventure ever seen!

First of all, on the 21st of November 2024 in Troyes, it was a very cold day and it had even snowed, therefore it reminded us of Christmas, which is approaching quicker than we thought. That's why our game's theme is Christmas.

We then thought that many children love Santa Claus, so all we had to do to make them happy by playing our game was to rescue and save Santa from a cellar where he was locked up and held by the Grinch! That's why it is the plot of our game.

According to this video, kids stop believing in Santa between the ages of 6 and 8, and it's hard for them to go through this transition. One of the reasons we want to develop our game is to give joy and memories to growing children of their childhood, even after they don't believe anymore in Santa.

Hi, I'm Mathieu, I'm 18 years-old, and I'm on my way to becoming an engineer in less than five years.

I usually clear my mind by practicing high intensity sports.

When I'm not studying I enjoy cooking or watching movies !

Hello, I'm Eliot ! I'm currently 18 years old and a TC01 student at the UTT in Troyes, to become (if I succeed...) a future engineer.

I like to move around, watch movies, play racket sports such as tennis to change my mind and get away from everyday problems, but one thing I surely don't like at all is the winter cold...
