Santa Says

Santa Says is a Holidays exclusive Arcade game and rendition of Hypixel Says. Santa Says was released during the 2015 Holidays event on December 18, 2015 and has appeared in every Holidays event since 2015.

Gameplay

Santa Says maintains similar gameplay factors with Hypixel Says. Tasks are given to players that must be completed within a short given time. In Santa Says, some tasks are altered to include holiday aspects, while still containing the same premise. The player with the most points after 15 tasks wins the game.

Tasks

There are 61 tasks^[Confirm?] in Santa Says. Tasks award points differently depending on the type of task.
