2020 has been a challenging year so we wanted to help..

For us Christmas is about spending time and playing games with those we love. Given so many of us can’t be together this year we wanted to produce a version of our most popular group game for families and friends to play together at home and remotely over Zoom with those you love that can’t be with you in person.

A Digital Board Game for home and zoom

In the style of a good family board game, Reindeer Games is simple enough to quickly pick up, interactive as you need to talk and coordinate with each other, and strategic in choosing how and when to act. All set in beautiful animated world

  • 3 - 10 players, 30 minutes play

  • plays on web browser, remotely or in person

  • Designed by Rikki Tahta (Coup, The Chameleon)

  • Free until 1st January 2021

Our Chosen Charity

We have chosen to support the children of St James Primary School in Dublin. Covid has left the children landlocked at home for. Most of the kids’ homes are unstable due to a complex series of issues ranging from poverty, mental health and addiction. Children need access to their school remotely as a vital means for keeping in touch with their teachers, mentors and peers.

This fundraiser will help ensure that every child at St James Primary School in Dublin, Ireland has a Kindle Fire and a link to the vital support they need for their educational development and emotional support.

If you have fun with the game would like to pay it forward, please make a donation to St James.

HOW TO PLAY

Reindeer Games is simple to play and designed to teach you the rules as you go.

It’s simple enough so the whole family can play. Simply choose your food pack, feed the deer, and then watch the race!

If you’d like to see the rules before you play, you can read them here.

HOW TO SET UP

Reindeer Games can be played together in one location, remotely, or a mixture of both!

Everything is done via a web browser - so there’s nothing to download. You will need screen everyone can view, and your own devices to play.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I’ve not received the link for my free game yet – who do I contact about this?
    A member of the MeetMax team is setting up your game and sending this to you ready for 21st December. Unfortunately, we were unable to automate this process in time for Christmas. If you have not received anything by 20th December please email jessica@meetmaxgames.com

  • The game link is not working.
    Are you using Internet Explorer? This browser does not support the game. You can use other popular browsers such as Chrome, FireFox or Safari which can be downloaded for free. We know it’s the standard tech reply – but have you tried turning it off and on again? Refreshing the webpage often fixes things!

  • Will the game work on my smart TV?
    We would recommend casting the game onto your television via a supported device, such as your phone, laptop, tablet etc. Whilst many smart TV’s may work with the game, there are too many different varieties for us to have tested them all in time for Christmas.

  • Why is my game running slowly?
    Closing down extra tabs in your browser will help improve the game speed. A reliable internet connection is also needed.

  • The game is not the right size for my device – how do I fix this?
    The game should be responsive to all devices, and automatically change its size to fit your screen. If this is not working correctly please try closing down your browser completely (all tabs) and reconnecting again on a new web page. It sounds silly, but often turning things off and on again fixes it!
