Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Present

  1. Choose a small prize (sweets, mini gift, or joke item).

  2. Wrap it in a layer of wrapping paper.

  3. Before adding the next layer, include a challenge slip.

  4. Continue wrapping with multiple layers—each layer should have a different challenge inside.

  5. Aim for at least 6–10 layers to keep it exciting!


Step 2: Gather Everyone in a Circle

  • Have all players sit in a circle so they can easily pass the present.

  • Designate someone to control the music (or use a playlist with random pauses if you want to play too).


Step 3: Start the Music

  • Begin playing festive music and pass the present clockwise around the circle.


Step 4: Pause the Music Randomly

  • When the music stops, the person holding the present unwraps one layer only and must complete the challenge inside before the game continues.


Step 5: Keep Playing

  • Resume the music and continue passing the present.

  • Repeat the unwrapping and challenge steps until the final layer is unwrapped.


Step 6: Final Winner

  • The person who unwraps the final layer wins the prize inside!


🎉 Bonus Tips:

  • Add silly or festive forfeits to the challenge slips for extra laughs.

  • You can play multiple rounds with different prizes.

  • Use themed wrapping paper to make it extra Christmassy!
