## What is Santa’s Gift Finder?

Santa’s Gift Finder turns Christmas morning into a magical treasure hunt. Children talk to Pop the Present Patrol Elf, receive secret clues, and use their phone as a compass to find hidden gifts.

How It Works
• Tap the bell to call the North Pole
• Tell Pop the Elf your secret passphrase from Santa’s note
• Follow on-screen guidance as you move around the room
• Tap “I found it” when you discover your gift

Features
• Voice conversation with Pop the Elf
• Christmas treasure hunt using Bluetooth beacons
• Gentle watercolor artwork and soft, looping music
• Kid-friendly messages like “Keep looking…” and “Getting warmer!”
• A simple share option for parents after the gift is found

Privacy
• No accounts or sign-ups
• No ads or tracking
• Voice is processed in real time to talk to the Elf and is not stored by the app
• Beacon and motion data stay on the device and are only used to guide the hunt

Requirements
• iPhone with iOS 15.0 or later
• Bluetooth, Location, and Microphone access
• Internet connection for setup and conversation
