We had hoped for the 'Space Race', but we have missed out. But

The iPad finally gets something that Android hasn't... The Christmas edition.... It’s called Santa’s Bad Day.

  • A number of tasks to perform. Initially looks very similar to the Halloween game in that the elves (ghosts) drop bits to collect when you use an Old Lantern on them.
  • It introduces the Duty free shops (Android had these some versions ago).
  • Most neighbours names are now showing.
  • You need airside space. Minimum of 2 expansions for the ice runway, sleigh hangers and the duty free shop.
A quick guide so far... (Yep a wasted afternoon)
Initial tasks:
  • Send Cognac to friends, (new items in gifting list: Old Lantern, Red Paint, Single-Malt whiskey, Cognac and Make up).
  • Complete ‘Faster than the wind’ collection to get the sleigh. 5 items that drop from Santa’s House, your Elves (very seldom) and from your neighbours: Santa’s House, Elves (very seldom) {using lanterns on elves get items}
  • Build ‘Christmas Elves’ collection to build a skating rink: 5 items that drop from your Elves (very seldom) and from neighbours’s Elves (very seldom){using lanterns on elves get items}
  • Collect revenue and passengers from winter buildings to complete a cold weather collection: Drops from buildings: Igloo, Ice sculpture, Ice Castle, Skating Rink. (very seldom) {not sure where these buildings come from}
The first Christmas game collection is easy, build the hanger and runway and ignore all the required items. When you get the sleigh the hanger is completed for you. Destinations for the Sleigh are: Lapland, Africa, Australia, Eurasia, North America and South America. Duration is between 1hr and 1hr20.
Elves need an Old Lantern to ‘zap’ them, not sure where you get them. I bought a ‘Santa’s Chest’ collection to get going. This got me the first sleigh quickly.
{If you visit 5 neighbours a day and you can still only collect 5 item, including elves.}

Initial differences I have found from the Halloween game.

The duty free has a number of different length trading period. Each different time period requires a number of different items to be in stock. These items drop from neighbours buildings or can be gifted.

I have been looking at the duty free shop and can't see much point. It consumes valuable gifts to produce minimum coins, does it do anything else?
It needs 2 items to produce 20 coins in 20 minutes.
4 items for 200 coins in 1 hour
6 items for 600 coins in 1 day
8 for 1000 coins in 2 days

It's reputation with the Android players is that the base level is best, and its really a waste of time. They got it in an update about 4 months ago.

I kind of expected the Halloween tasks and associated ghosts to disappear with this update. However, my ghosts still remain. (The tasks did disappear though.) Am I missing a concept, or will these ghosts remain forever? (I find them highly irretating.)

It looks like each of those buildings become available upon completion of various collections. But where is Santa’s House in order to collect things for the "Faster than Wind" collection?

Thanks for the guide! The one thing I'm struggling with is trying to complete the hangar once I've collected items for the sled. I was able to get the sled, but the hangar is still asking for 13 items. Is there anything I'm missing?

Do you have anymore soul nets? That's what I used to ouster the last ones.

Update
We have all established a few points
The Duty Free Shop is useless. It takes a lot of effort and gifting for a few coins. Mine has traded twice since we started. once for 20 minutes and then for an hour. That's at level 3.
The game, unfortunately, needs greenies spent to make it work. If you wait for people to gift items then you'll be waiting as some item can't be gifted (Sleigh covers), some items are occasional such as the sleigh oil and the red paint. Both of my sleigh covers have come from Cypress flights

Old lanterns seem to collect an item about 1 in 5 uses. Definatly not worth spending 2 greens on. If you really want to buy get the Santa's Chest for 6 greens from the store. The packages from the store are always better value than buying individual items.

If anybody has other hints then please post them in this thread. Generally requests should be in the daily posts.





@Sgabor.
I have photos of items from the last 3 quests. Just need the photos for items before that.

I did not make any picture of items of last quest. Sorry...
I wrote down in my signature all items, i can send. There are actually more then usual, but gift list is changing all the time. This makes me confused...
Some items are same, some are changing all the time... :confused:

Question... Where does Santa put the 36+ passengers needed to fly his sleigh? I would think it would only fit one LARGE person and a small kid. I guess you could shove 3 people, at the most, into his ride.
