Twenty-four doors hang on this tree, one for every day until Christmas.
Behind each one, someone at wild made something small: a toy, a tool, an experiment that wanted out of the sketchbook.
Climb down the branches, shake the tree if you like, and open today’s door. Another one opens tomorrow.
Wild Advent is a digital advent calendar by wild. Each day in December another door on the tree opens onto a small prototype made by someone on our team.
Sound effects by JDSherbert, from the Pixel UI SFX Pack and the Ultimate UI SFX Pack.
The music is synthesized in your browser. The carols are traditional and in the public domain: Jingle Bells (James Lord Pierpont), Deck the Halls, Shchedryk (Mykola Leontovych), We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Good King Wenceslas and Silent Night (Franz Xaver Gruber), arranged for this calendar.

In December 2026 we run a digital advent calendar at advent.wild.as. Behind each door is a small web prototype made by our team.
We use PostHog, hosted in the EU, in cookieless mode to understand how the calendar is used, for example which doors are opened and how long prototypes take to load. No cookies or other identifiers are stored on your device for this. To count unique visitors, PostHog derives a hash from your IP address and browser information using a salt that changes daily. The IP address itself is not stored. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the calendar (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
The calendar remembers which doors you have opened, whether you have seen the intro and whether you turned the sound off, using your browser's local storage. This information stays on your device and is never sent to us. You can remove it by clearing your browser's site data for advent.wild.as.
Each door shows a prototype served from a subdomain of by.wild.builders, which is also operated by Wild. Prototypes run entirely in your browser. If a prototype wants to use your camera, microphone or motion sensors, your browser asks for your permission first. That input is processed on your device only, and it is not transmitted or stored.
The calendar and the prototypes are hosted on Cloudflare, which processes technical connection data, such as IP addresses, to deliver the pages.
Who we are, your rights and how to reach us are in the wild.as privacy policy and the imprint.
