Overview

Picture


​​The growing demand for the Christmas delivery has put everybody at the North Pole on edge, and it’s up to Santa’s R&D department to innovate. At least, that’s what Crinky the elf thinks. He’s an inventor who is desperate to help make each holiday season better than the last... but unfortunately, all his inventions are complete disasters. Thus, Crinky’s been shuffled off to the side where his many (many) failed devices will cause as little damage to the workshop as possible.
​
That is, until one day, when Crinky discovers the “Present Particle”, the embodiment of the Christmas season, a piece of pure Christmas magic that instantly transforms into the wish of anyone who releases it. Crinky’s discovery will make everybody’s lives easier and every child that much happier on Christmas morning! Even the other elves are impressed! Good news, right?

​Good for Poppins, Workshop Operations Manager and “efficiency expert”. The other elves, not so much. With his eyes filled with greed and his mind centered on all the ways he can exploit Crinky’s invention, Poppins hoodwinks Santa into taking a vacation to celebrate this new “revelation”, and then seizes control of the factory. All of the elves are SACKED! with only Crinky remaining to help maintain the device that generates the Present Particle.


However all is not lost! Crinky has more than a few tricks up his sleeves, even though they’ve all been consigned to the rubbish heap. It will take a little bit of determination and a lot of creativity, but Crinky develops a plan to save his friends, Santa’s workshop, and the magic of Christmas.

​Will Crinky be able to pull off a Christmas Miracle?

Characters

​Crinky

This innovator is always trying to invent new things. They may not work out (ever), but Crinky never lets that get him down! He's sure that the next thing is going to be the BIG thing: the gadget, gizmo, present, or doo-dad that's going to get him out of R&D and back with the rest of the elves!

Picture


​Poppins
Santa's Workshop Operations Manger and "efficiency expert“  is a deal-making, palm-greasing, no-nonsense kind of Elf. So what if the workshop isn't a real business? That's the problem! Poppins is going to turn it into one, and nobody--not Crinky, not Lyrica, not even Santa--is going to stop him!

Picture


Lyrica
The unofficial "spokeself" for the North Pole, everybody trusts Lyrica to make sure things run smoothly. When Crinky is involved, however, things rarely run smoothly. Which means that Lyrica has to intervene, keep the peace, and put out the fires... literally! She doesn't dislike Crinky, but she would definitely love if he could stop inventing things that leave smoking craters across the Arctic!
