Christmas is always a great time to spend with the people, games and movies that you love. And today we\u2019ve heard about a new Elf-inspired Roblox experience that lets you do all three of those things at the same time!<\/p>\n

Elf, of course, is a Will Ferrell-starring Christmas film from 2003. The movie \u2013 which sees Ferrell\u2019s character, Buddy the Elf, leaving the North Pole to experience life in New York City \u2013 has become a festive staple in the lives of many.<\/p>\n

Roblox has also been a staple in a lot of people\u2019s lives since its launch in 2006. It\u2019s an online gaming platform that empowers people to make their own experiences and try out creations from users around the world. There\u2019s also a social aspect, allowing players to meet up in these virtual worlds.<\/p>\n

And now, all those things are combining! Warner Bros and New Line Cinema have teamed up with the developers at Supersocial and the creative studio Fairview Portals to create an Elf-themed virtual world in Roblox.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: one the companies involved in this, Fairview Portals, was founded in 2020 by none other than John Favreau \u2013 the director of Elf, Iron Man, 2019\u2019s The Lion King and lots of The Mandalorian!<\/p>\n

The new Roblox experience is called Elf: North Pole Workshop, and Roblox players can access it at this link<\/a>. Take a look at the gallery below and you\u2019ll see that the film\u2019s stop-motion animated elements have translated into the Roblox world really beautifully!<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Line\u2019s Elf is among the most beloved movies of the last two decades, and remains a cherished tradition for so many families to watch together during the holidays.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity to combine the great Roblox platform with Jon Favreau\u2019s visionary Christmas classic was something we all agreed would allow people of all ages to experience the incredible world of Elf in an entirely new way.\u201d<\/p>

The experience itself allows players to work as an elf in Santa\u2019s factory, working together with other players to make toys and complete other tasks.<\/p>\n

Adorably, players can also \u201cfill the Clausometer with good deeds to get server-wide gifts from Santa\u201d. You can also trade candy canes for gifts that you can give to your friends.<\/p>\n

This sounds so wholesome! Check out the trailer below and click away to Roblox<\/a> if you want to try it out. We\u2019re sure that Buddy himself would approve\u2026<\/p>\n
