    November 24 – December 15, 2025
    Hosted by the Northern Gateway Regional Chamber of Commerce

    The holiday season is here — and so are the Reindeer Games!
    Join us for this festive community-wide scavenger hunt that connects local shoppers and businesses throughout the North Country. Whether you’re a business owner looking to boost your holiday visibility or a participant ready for some seasonal fun, this event is for you.

    For Businesses: Join the Fun

    Be part of the holiday excitement and increase your visibility this season by joining the 3rd Annual Reindeer Games regional scavenger hunt!

    Last year, we saw incredible community engagement, with locals and visitors visiting participating businesses, discovering new favorites, and helping spread holiday cheer.

    Why Participate:

    • Increase Foot Traffic: Encourage new and returning customers to visit your store as they search for your hidden Reindeer Games tag.
    • Showcase Your Products: Each participating business is featured across the Chamber’s social media channels — a perfect opportunity to highlight holiday specials and gift ideas.
    • Build Brand Awareness: Be part of a regional event that shines a light on local shopping and community spirit.
    • Join the Celebration: Share in the holiday fun while connecting with neighbors and visitors alike.

    How It Works:

    1. We provide the Reindeer Games gift tags for you to display in your business.
    2. Participants visit local shops to find the tagged items, take photos, and submit their entries for points.
    3. The Chamber promotes participating businesses on social media and in the online directory throughout the event.

    3. Submit Your Entries:

    Please leave the tags where they are so others can play too!
