TAKE THAT, ELF is a therapeutic AR experience brought to you by the minds of WE ARE ROYALE. Vent your holiday frustration on these little punks. First, adopt an elf as your very own, and then mistreat them however you deem fit. Elves are evil, maniacal, aloof little creatures that have no place in the joy that is the holidays. And yet we trust these little dirtballs with the art of making toys for our kids. Their grubby little hands chiseling Timmy's toy tiger. Their rancid breath breathing down on Suzy's little doll. There’s a reason Santa locks them up after their work is done. Seriously. Elves are insane. And something has to be done with them. Never got over the fact that Santa “forgot” to give you that Powerglove in the late 80’s? Toss a match on an elf... Mad that your brother got that sweet Power Wheels and you had to settle for a crappy telescope? Christmas ain't for science, son! Electrocute an elf and settle the score… Now’s your time to get even, so grab your phone, adopt your own elfish nightmare, and do your best to destroy their soul.
