The Elf Hunt is back as part of Bloxburg’s Winter Event 2025, with one new elf appearing each day from December 9th through December 26th. Each elf has a fixed hiding spot and usually asks for a specific item before handing over Winter Tickets. Miss the first 24-hour window and the payout drops.
How the 2025 Elf Hunt works
The core loop is simple: find the day’s elf, give it what it wants (if anything), and collect Winter Tickets. Elves spawn one by one each day, for a total of 16. The event runs from December 9th, 2025, through December 26th, 2025.
Starting the Elf Hunt (Elder Elf at Santa’s Photo-Op)
Step 1: Go to Santa’s Photo-Op and talk to the Elder Elf to begin the hunt.
Rewards: Winter Tickets, timing bonus, and trophies
Each elf pays out Winter Tickets. Timing matters: if you find an elf within 24 hours of its release, you can earn T$250; after that window, it drops to T$125.
There are also three trophies tied to completion milestones: 2025 Silver Trophy of Cookie Completion (8 elves), 2025 Golden Trophy of Cookie Completion (12 elves), and 2025 Platinum Trophy of Cookie Completion (all 16 elves).
How to recognize an elf (and what happens if you give the wrong item)
The elf model is easy to spot once you know it: an orangish body with a green hat and green clothing.
If you’re close to an elf, an “Elf Nearby” status effect appears and a short jingle plays. Elves also use sparkle audio and red smoke when you’re nearby.
If you hand over the wrong item, the elf rejects it with dialogue and a “No” sound. Some are Mischievous Elves, and the penalty is harsher. For example, Elf #3 can throw a snowball when you’re wrong, and Elf #6 can cause your character to faint.

| Day 6 / Dec 14 | Elf #6 | Secret room at Bloxburg Central, behind the fence to the right of Fancy Furniture, accessed through the semi-transparent wall in the alleyway | Gingerbread House | T$250 | Mischievous Elf; wrong item causes the player to faint |
Day 6 route: finding the elf in the Bloxburg Central secret room
Step 1: In Build Mode, buy a Gingerbread House for $290, so you have the correct offering ready.
Step 2: Travel to Bloxburg Central and find the alley between Fancy Furniture and Soak-N-Suds.
Step 3: Walk to the back of the alley to reach a narrow path, then look for the semi-transparent wall that leads into the hidden room.
Step 4: Inside the room, approach the elf sitting on a sofa and give it the Gingerbread House to receive 250 Tickets.
The hunt continues daily until December 26th, with the remaining elves unlocking one at a time. If you’re trying to stay on pace, the biggest practical constraint is timing: the 24-hour window is the difference between the full reward and the reduced payout.
