Get quizzed by Santa

Chat Master: Santa Claus Story is a free puzzle app designed for Christmastime. Players enter a chat with Santa, who asks them a series of questions. The goal is to give the right answers to reach the end.

Chat Master uses a faux chat-app interface and features Santa, but this isn’t an app designed to persuade children that they’re talking to St. Nick himself, such as Santa Is Calling Your Children or Talking Santa. Instead, it’s a complete game of puzzles and trivia.

Questions from Santa

Chat Master: Santa Claus Story is designed to emulate the interface of a chat messenger. The game begins when you get a message from Santa asking if you have been naughty or nice. This is just the start of a question-and-answer session as Santa gauges your good behavior and taxes you with trivia questions.

Can you lie to Santa?

The game is divided into multiple levels with different objectives. In the cases where Santa is asking you Christmas-themed trivia, the aim is simply to give the right answers. Others are more complicated: in one session, Santa asks why you weren’t at school. Being truthful is not an option, so your job is to tell a convincing series of lies.

A game for all ages

While Chat Master: Santa Claus Story appears to be aimed at children, it is not necessarily an easy game. Some of the trivia questions can be fairly taxing, while the stages that involve successfully lying to Santa require strategy as you pick the best lies from the list.

57 stages to work through

The game has a total of 57 stages, and once you have completed them all, it is unlikely that you will want to give them another go. This is not a game that has much to offer in terms of replay value. Instead, it is a free app that aims for some festive time-killing fun.
