Rating Summary
The Elf on the Shelf®: Christmas Heroes is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB with Mild Fantasy Violence. This is a platformer game in which players assume the role of an elf collecting Christmas Spirit for Santa Claus. From a side-scrolling perspective, players traverse whimsical environments, collect spirit dust, and avoid hazards (e.g., swinging ornaments, tacks on the ground) and roaming toys (e.g., nutcrackers, dinosaurs, robots). Players can defeat toys by hopping on their heads or freezing them—jumping on toys makes them fall from the screen. The elf briefly cries out ("ouch!") when hit by toys.
