About the game
In Reindeer Racer you drive a reindeer and sleigh down a long snowy course, seen from above, while a crowd of elves cheers from the stands on both sides. The clock starts at 30 seconds and runs down; the course is full of trees and rocks to steer around, and presents lying in the snow.
Every present is worth 100 points. At the end of each level there is a marker line: crossing it gives you a bonus of 500 points or more, more time on the clock, and the next, faster level. There are ten levels. The game ends when the time runs out or when you cross the line of the last level.
The sleigh trails behind the reindeer on a rope and swings wide in the corners, so the whole game is about keeping a clean line while still going for the presents.
Playing it here
Click Play and the game starts in the page, with a small bar above it for the score, pause, restart and sound. It works with touch: drag on the screen to steer. Nothing is installed and nothing is sent to other sites; the best score is not saved.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Up arrow | Go forward |
| Left / Right arrow | Steer |
| Down arrow | Brake |
| Drag on touch screen | Joystick: the further you drag, the faster you go |
A few things worth knowing
Time comes from the lines. Crossing a marker line is the only way to add seconds, so a present off the path is only worth it if you do not lose the line.
Look ahead. The sleigh swings behind you; start a turn early.
Credits and licence
Reindeer Racer is one of the mini-games of a holiday web app that Google published as open source (the santa-tracker-web repository). The code is under the Apache License 2.0 and the images and sounds are under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, credited to Google LLC and the contributors of the project. The game is the same as the one Google published: for this site only the page around it was replaced (score bar, pause, sound), fonts and libraries are served from this site, and links back to the original app were removed, so the page never contacts other sites. The licence texts and the list of changes are in the licence file of the game. This is an unofficial copy and is not made, endorsed or sponsored by Google.
FAQ
How many levels are there? Ten. After the tenth line the game ends and shows your score.
Can I play with the keyboard only? Yes: the arrow keys do everything. On a touch screen you drag instead.
