This advent calendar makes a unique, fun and educational gift that is gender neutral - good for boys and girls, or even for two kids to play. The game is a progressive, 24-day adventure where you solve a puzzle to progress to the next step in the story. Sometimes, you will need clues from previous days to solve the puzzle! Additionally, you will collect evidence about the previous inhabitant of the island. It's a great game for kids who have outgrown toy-based puzzles and desire a more immersive experience.

******** GAME ********
The sea is stormy, and the wind is unforgiving. You do all you can, but your little boat capsizes and crashes into a rock! You are washed ashore on a tropical island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. You find yourself in the midst of an adventure—one that you must solve using your brain to be able to leave Miracle Island and return home for Christmas! Every day, the story will progress with a new puzzle to solve.
No assembly is needed. The game comes packed in 24 envelopes, ready to be played.
This is an educational game with several "did you know" facts scattered throughout, including information about science and technology. The game is non-religious and features a Christmas theme, particularly towards the end.
The puzzles vary in difficulty. Even if you couldn't solve a puzzle, you can still progress with the story. However, the solution may provide context for the following day. Please note that this game is non-religious, but it does have references to Santa.
PS: This is the new and improved 2023 version.

******** AUDIENCE ********
This game is designed for kids, tweens, and teenagers aged 8 and up.
Kids aged 5-7 may enjoy the game with support from a parent or grandparent, making it a great bonding activity. The stories are enjoyable for everyone, but some puzzles may be challenging.
Kids aged 8-12 can enjoy the game with little to no help
Ages 12 and up can likely solve most puzzles independently. However, please note that some puzzles may still be challenging even for adults. :)
If you get stuck, I suggest checking the hint file or, better yet, trying again after a short break.
