Based on the finished game with bonus material

I play as Alice and I asked Santa for a real adventure for Christmas. Christmas is in danger because people have stopped believing.

Many of you have played this series before and many of us want it every year. It's a family type of game, more pure and innocent with lovely hops and coloring. Some will find it not challenging enough or not there cup of tea. It's a hit and five stars in my eyes.

My favorite in the series is Puss in Boots and I like this one just as much. If you like the kittens you will see some in the bonus chapter.

My complaint is- I think they could make the pictures in the Strategy Guide bigger and I would like to retrieve the one morphing item I missed.

I collected 26 out of 27 morphs. 48 puzzle pieces to make 4 screensavers (you will put them together). 12 mascots.

The Bonus Content is in a bedroom and you have to look around for your things. The puzzle pieces after you finish is only accessible by the framed mirror or picture (I don't know what it is) on the bed. The replayable 11 hops are on the curtains on the bed board. You can find the rest. 12 mini-games, 18 wallpapers, five music and 13 concept art. Show less

I recommend this game!

I tested this game and was disappointed when the test was over because I was enjoying the game so much.

The colors are dazzling. The graphics are beautiful. The storyline is fun.

I'm buying it right now so I can play the rest of it. :-)

I recommend this game!

Every year when another addition to the Christmas Stories gets released it is like a harbinger of the holiday season and this new game kicked off my season with a glittery Christmas bang. The graphics as always are beautiful and festive. The story is soaked in the corny but heart warming spirit of the season message that I have come to love and of course as always the Christmas kitties hold a warm place in my heart. Also as a huge fan of anything Alice the game to me was especially enjoyable. I highly suggest that you purchase this game if you need a cure for the holiday blues because the spirit of it is very infectious! Show less

A WINTER WONDERLAND FULL OF WHIMSY AND CHRISTMAS DELIGHT!

fromThe residents of Wonderland now love the holidays. After appearing in this Christmas game, the White Rabbit is returning in the spring as the new Easter Bunny along with the Mad Hatter who is bringing with him a new fashion line of Easter bonnets.

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME
5 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 41 Pages

OVERVIEW: Alice! Santa has granted your Christmas wish for adventure by requesting your help in saving Christmas! Throughout the world, people have lost their Christmas spirit. The inhabitants of Wonderland have entered the real world, spearheaded by their ruler, the Red Queen. Entering through a magic mirror, the arrival of these Wonderland inhabitants has upset the balance between the two worlds. Since Wonderland fuels dreams, with the Red Queen now in the real world, imagination is evaporating. The Christmas star is fading, and people no longer believe in Santa Claus. Follow Santa’s emissary, the White Rabbit, and find enough Christmas spirit to restore the Christmas star, revive the Christmas spirit, and convince the Red Queen to return to Wonderland.

OPINION: Enjoy another fun-filled Elephant Christmas game, all wrapped up in whimsy and Christmas cheer. The graphics are all decked out for Christmas with scenes filled with glistening Christmas trees, twinkling lights, and decorations galore. It is a light-hearted romp which the whole family can enjoy. The gaming script is well-written, and the graphics are creatively designed. My only complaint is that I wish there were more Christmas music selections as in the past games.

MECHANICS: There are four (4) levels of play including a customized version. There are twenty-two (22) achievements. Collect forty-eight (48) jigsaw pieces – twelve (12) each for four puzzles. Collect twelve (12) figurines of the characters from the game and twenty-seven (27) morphing objects. There are eighteen (18) wallpapers along with concept art and music selections. You can replay twelve (12) mini-games and eleven (11) HOP scenes.

CHRISTMAS HELPER: The Cheshire Cat will sit at the side of the inventory bar and help you by performing various tasks. He is not used frequently and does add a seasonal element of whimsy to the game.

BONUS GAME: The bonus game is unrelated to the main game. It is based on the Dicken’s classic, “The Christmas Carol.” As the nephew of Ebenezer Scrooge Cat, you return to his past. Visit three (3) time periods in his life to change the course of his miserable, unhappy life. Can you create a past which is “picture perfect?” I found this chapter is in some ways better than the main game. It is truly the “cat’s meow,” with all the characters portrayed as cats. Dealing with the original “grumpy cat” is well-worth the price of the collector’s edition. You get a new helper, the Christmas Spirit cat, to aid you in your visit to the past. It is a long chapter with seven (7) puzzles and six (6) HOP scenes.

HOP SCENES: There are twenty-three (23) in the game. The scenes reflect the theme of the game with beautifully designed scenes full of Christmas goodies – pastries, toys, twinkling colored lights, and Christmas trees all aglitter. Although most are lists of items or silhouette scenes, they are creatively designed. My favorite scene is one in which you must choose two items to be removed which, when combined, are related in some way to the item listed. All the items in this scene are related to Christmas.

PUZZLES: There are thirty-one (31) puzzles within the game. They are varied in design with most being easy. However, there are a few puzzles of middle difficulty. Some, but not all, are thematic, reflecting the Christmas spirit. There are a couple of multiple-step puzzles. I found the best puzzles within the bonus chapter.

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE PUZZLES AFTER THE DEMO:

A. Riding a one-horse open sleigh: Moving tiles puzzle. Move a horse from the left to the right end of a grid by moving tiles out if its path. You must move two tiles at a time in most cases.
B. Sugar plum fairies danced in their heads. Matching puzzle. Choose the correct sweets for eight characters based upon given clues.
C. Connect with Christmas! Connection puzzle. Connect like-colored squares on a chalkboard to remove them without passing through other colored squares until the board is completely cleared. 3X
D. Nutcracker “sweet!” Switch puzzle. Switch different colored Santas, penguins, and nutcrackers, placing them into position according to a given code. You can only exchange tokens next to each other and each must share some feature – either by color or by the item itself.
E. Light up your life this Christmas! Rope puzzle. Untangle a string of lights so that no wires cross each other.
BONUS CHAPTER:
F. Watch out for reindeer! Arcade game. Shoot Christmas-like tokens to get 70 points. The smaller the object you shoot – the more points.
G. All roads lead to Christmas! Map puzzle. Lead Alice on a path, crossing a river while removing obstacles in her path. Show less

I recommend this game!

I cannot believe the many negative reviews. I almost didn't buy this game because I read those reviews. And am I glad I did buy the game.

What a beautiful and entertaining Christmas game. And most of the puzzles are easy, which I like. I don't want to spend ages to get through a tough puzzle, so the easier the better for me.

The one negative for me is that I would have preferred it if the map had shown the places where actions are available. You only see the place where you are and where you should come back later. That's not helpful at all.

I also liked that the game consists of different stories, so I moved to different places.

This is a top-notch game. It's wonderfully Christmassy (I am a huge fan of all things Christmas) and for me it doesn't matter who the characters are in the game, it's a Christmas game, and that's the important thing for me. :) Show less

Christmas Stories Alice’s Adventures is a breath of fresh air after months of the darker games that came out to celebrate the fall season and Halloween. Thankfully, or perhaps I should say hopefully, we are now past that as we celebrate a more festive and happier time of year. I eagerly await Elephant Games Christmas Stories each year since I loved the Nutcracker that came out in 2012. Since then each year we get another colorful and wonderful Christmas game from this developer.

Alice’s Adventure is a family game and one that can be played with younger members of the family to celebrate the Christmas holidays. I’m not going to rehash the storyline since you will see that for yourself but I will tell you that this is a beautiful and colorful game full of the magic that I look forward to in this series. The graphics are beautiful and the characters are terrific. The gameplay is entertaining and filled with wonderful HOPS and great puzzles even though they are fairly easy. This is a light-hearted game intended to lift your spirits and to bring some festive moments to your life.

There is variety in the HOPS and some are quite well-crafted. Most of the puzzles are familiar and when you play as many HOPA games as I do, you don’t expect that there will be much that is new. I love searching scenes that are filled with Christmas themed items and playing puzzles that are related to the season as well. For me this is a relaxing game filled with wonder and fun that brings out my inner child.

Although many might not like this sort of game, I love Christmas games and look forward to them each year, so for me this is perfect. Alice’s Adventures is a fun-filled romp through snowy and festive scenes as she tries to restore the luster to the Christmas Star. Even though this is the perfect kick-off to the holiday season for me, as always, please try the demo to see if this is a game you will enjoy. Happy gaming! Show less

I recommend this game!

I absolutely loved this game! It was one of if not the most gorgeous game I've ever played. It's full to the brim with all kinds of Christmas decorations and the attention to detail is pure perfection!

Was the game a little on the easy side? You betcha, but I play alone and also with the kids and grandkids so I like that they could also play with me or all by themselves Also at this time of year who really wants a really hard headbanging game, not me that's for sure. With all the shopping, wrapping, cleaning, baking, as well as working when I set down to play a game I want fun, beauty and enjoyment not something frustrating and this game delivered in a big way!! I'm so glad I purchased the CE edition!

The game really was not that much easier than most of the games I've played this past year, so I'm not really understanding all the negative reviews. It appears to me they needed to play this game more than I did because it's a game all about losing the Christmas spirit and I/You must bringing it back to the world!
I loved it so much I'm about to play it all over again. I say Thank You and Bravo to Elephant games! My favorite of all the Christmas games that have been put out so far.
I also loved the Puss in Boots, Gift of the Magic, Tin Soldier, and The Christmas Spirit: Mother Goose's Untold Tales, hated Christmas Stories: Nutcracker!
I highly recommend this game! Show less
