Adventures in Advent: Advent 2024, Day 10


It appears that Advent Calendars have entered this digital age. Designed by mindscape, the Games Advent Calendar 2024 is available for the PS5. With this video game Advent calendar, you board a train set for 25 stops. With each daily stop, you enter a cottage and unlock a unique new game to play for the day. 

From what I can tell, and there isn't much is that with this one, you're a snowman in a Sonic the Hedgehog style adventure game. In another, you ski down an obstacle course. In a third, you participate in a holiday themed shooting range event. It's a grab bag as to what the other 22 games detail.

Players get to choose between 8 festive characters to play as. All games allow up to 2 players. However, each game is designed for use of only 1 controller. Thus, you'll have to switch back and forth between turns.


Rated E for Everyone, this game sells for $19.99 (MSRP). It's available on Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop. A Nintendo Switch compatible version is also available.

After a week of otherwise weak gifts, the prizes for week 2 has gotten marginally better. Today, I received a Batman quiz book host by the Riddler. Made of 16 questions, I look forward to devoting a little more time to it. Hopefully, I'll ace it with a 100%!
