I slightly miscalculated the position of the first man, got the wrong code, rechecked the picture of the family, and corrected his position to solve the puzzle. That was a lot of fun and very creative.

[@drgareth]

I agree - it was really creative. Adding the extra slots, to make it more of a puzzle than just recreating the picture and seeing who pointed where, was a really fun idea too.

[@SongoftheLute]

lots of fresh new ideas this year. Enjoying this so far.

[@bbixxjessxx]

I’m really enjoying watching these every day! The cutouts are a fun little puzzle ◡̈

[@ms_hansel]

I was worried for you when you started with the dog at the front! 😂 Glad you switched to going from back to front. This one was was really clever!

[@mikestoner2898]

We didn’t know if the “left” and “right” meant our left/right or the left/right of the mannequins, so we tried 4 0 2 before 2 0 4, but it was only a minor thing and we enjoyed the puzzle all the same 😊

[@drgareth]

Oh, that was clever - and unlucky! I didn't even think of that! :)

[@Cadentotaldrama]

This one was super fun and creative! I loved the hands on aspect of slotting them all in the right positions and I solved it pretty quickly, about the same timeframe as you

[@drgareth]

Thank you for watching, and I agree it was really fun!

[@DevilboyScooby]

This was a great puzzle! Glad you didn't feel a dummy solving it... badumtiss. Plot twist, one of these employees you're collecting stole the cookies from the other calendar? 🤔

[@drgareth]

That really would be a plot twist! :)

[@mohemtv2362]

Thanks, i really like the new idea they come up. This must be inspired by the boardgame called Picture Perfect.

[@drgareth]

I'd never heard of it, but I can see it's the same concept - although without the pointing! :)

[@mystemo1980]

Oh I had the same thought! Great game, Picture Perfect

[@eeshapopat4067]

For my day 7 the cardboard cutouts were swapped with day 10’s cutouts so I had to use the hints book to find door 10 and swap the pieces

[@drgareth]

Oh dear! Sorry to hear that! I haven't seen what's inside day 10 yet but I can only imagine that was deeply confusing! :)

I just bought this calendar in 2024 and I think the same thing has happened to me! Thanks for the heads up on where to look so that I might be able to swap without too many spoilers

[@dougascott]

Story-wise, I now wonder if the mysterious stranger is actually one of Santa’s terrible family members…

[@drgareth]

Yes, I wondered that too! Although only after I had finished solving. :)

[@RebeccaAdeney]

a little fiddly, but overall a lovely puzzle.
