What you do in the game

Each door is a short case to solve. The day’s task usually takes 5–15 minutes, and anyone who wants more can stay longer.

Boards to walk around

Painted places from Nazareth to Bethlehem. You walk around, talk with people and gather clues together with Luke.

A mini-game in which the pieces of a painted picture are put back in place.

Mini-games along the way

Puzzles and short tasks give pauses in the story and reward those who are paying attention.

An activity sheet for day 1 with the title A clue hunt in the market, a picture of a donkey by an overturned cart, and small tasks.

Activities for the whole family

Printable sheets for each day: hunt for words, solve codes, spot the difference and talk together about the day’s story. The English sheets are at Activities.

  1. Open today’s door on the map of the land.
  2. Talk with people and gather clues. The first case begins in the market in Caesarea, where a cart has overturned.
  3. Fill the witness book. You see the sources and decide what the clues actually point to.
  4. Collect the day cards. On Christmas Eve an adult can make a diploma with a name on it.

How it looks on a phone

No in-app purchases. No ads. No tracking.

You pay once for the code, and then it is done. Inside the game there is no shop, no coins to buy and no offers that pop up. There is no account and no log-in, and progress is stored only on the device you play on.

Give the journey as a gift

A good Advent gift for a grandchild, a godchild or a neighbour. You can buy a code and give the code itself.

Give the code

After the purchase we send the code to the email you give. A printable gift card, already filled in with the code, is attached to that email. Print it on both sides of the sheet (flip on the long edge) and fold it in three.

If you would rather write the code yourself, you can download a blank gift card (PDF).

Buying in a shop

Gift cards with a personal code can also be bought in the shop Ordet è Ditt in Norway. The family code is sold only on the website.

Questions and answers

Is door 1 really free?

Yes. Door 1 is open to everyone, with no account and no email. You can try the game before you decide.

What does the code unlock?

The code unlocks doors 2–24. The doors open on their day in December, and after Christmas Eve they are all open. It is a one-time purchase: no subscription and no purchases inside the game.

What is the difference between a personal code and a family code?

A personal code (€24,99 / £19,99 / $24,99) is for one person. A family code (€49,99 / £39,99 / $49,99) is for the whole household, that is everyone who lives in the same home, and may be entered on all the devices you have at home.

How do I unlock the game with the code?

Start a door and tap the cog ⚙. Open “More” and tap “I have a code”. Enter the code and tap “Unlock”. If you want the game in English, choose English under Language in the same menu first.

How do we pay?

On this English site you pay in Stripe Checkout with a card, or with Apple Pay or Google Pay where those are offered. The purchase is shown as “Sold through Link”. Stripe sends the payment receipt. We send the code when the payment has gone through. Customers in Norway can also use the Norwegian checkout.

What age is it for?

The game is for ages 8 and up. Younger players can take part together with an adult or an older sibling, and all the cards can be read aloud.

Does it work on a phone, a tablet and a computer?

Yes. The game runs in the browser on a phone, a tablet and a computer, with nothing to install. A new door needs the internet the first time it is opened. After that it can be played offline on the same device. On iPhone and iPad, iOS 16.4 or later is needed.

What if we buy in the middle of December?

Then the doors up to and including today’s date are open at once, and a new door opens each day through to Christmas Eve. You can catch up with the days when it suits you.

Can more than one person use the same device?

Yes, but the game has no profiles, so people who share a device also share the progress. If each player is to have their own journey, they can use their own device or browser.

Can we get a refund?

See the terms of sale. When you buy on this English site, Stripe is the seller of the payment. Customers can contact Link support to request a refund. If something does not work, you can also write to us.

Is it only for Christian families?

The game is made on a Christian foundation and takes the Bible seriously. At the same time it practises something everyone can use: asking good questions and testing what you hear. Everyone is welcome to take part.

Is the game in English?

Yes. In the game menu you can choose English. The printable activity sheets are also in English.
