By Joses

Competition is now closed! See blog for results!

Christmas is just a few sleeps away and Santa is hard at work in the North Pole getting everyone's gifts ready (only those on the good list of course)! BUT DISASTER! Out of the corner of his eye, Santa notices 8 little helpers missing from their stations! Quickly, help Santa find these 8 naughty Elves and you will go in the draw for Santa to grant you your Mighty Ape wishlist (up to $1,000)!

These 8 naughty Elves are hiding in gift boxes around our site. They look like this (pictured) and they're sneakily placed at the bottom of 8 product pages.

You'll find these hidden gifts in the following departments – Games, Books, Movies & TV, Toys, Board Games & Puzzles, Collectibles, Outdoors and Electronics.

To make the hunt for these Elves a bit easier, Santa has provided 8 handy clues to help you locate them!

If you are new to our hunts and would like a head start we’ve provided a link to the Pink Gift solution below – open the link, scroll to the bottom of the product page, and then click on the Gift at which point it'll open, indicating that you've found it. This will help to give you a feel for how our clues relate to the products and where to look to find them.

  • Pink Gift: Backwards Jigsaw
  • Red Gift: Plumbers
  • Brown Gift: Military Police
  • Blue Gift: Medium Rare
  • Green Gift: Cowabunga Dude!
  • Yellow Gift: Be the very best!
  • Purple Gift: Capture memories
  • Grey Gift: Fallen Order

When you find a hidden Elf, just click on it to let us know that you've found it.

Your elf finds will be recorded on your Mighty Ape account. If you are not logged in when you click on a treasure chest you will be prompted to log in or create an account.

You have until 11:59pm on Monday 25th December to find these naughty little Elves. We'll announce the lucky winner on Tuesday 26th December.

Please do not post answers in the comments below. Entrants who have been found to be cheating will be disqualified from the competition and will be on Santa's naughty list! Full competition terms and conditions

Merry Christmas and good luck! Make sure to update your wishlists for Santa HO-HO-HO!🎅
