I absolutely love these games. They are the perfect holiday games you can sit down with the little ones to enjoy some holiday time together. Even the kids look forward to seeing "What new Christmas Story will show up this year".
These games (and this year is no exception) are easy enough that my 5 and even 4 year old can figure quite a few things out on their own (sometimes needing a bit of nudging to come to the right conclusion), yet there are still hard enough challenges to keep the game interesting enough for the adults to enjoy playing on their own. It's fun to play with the kids (I have profiles for kids ranging from 4-12) and see their eyes light up when you get a new item and immediately think "Hey, we can use that to ....". I try to play each game before playing with the kids, and it's interesting and challenging enough that even I need to use the Hint once or twice.
There are morphing object (a morphing snowman to find on each page, and a morphing cursed wedding guest on about 14 pages. We all enjoy that part to see who can find the morphing object(s) first.
As usual with the collectors edition, as well, there are puzzle pieces to find and complete the jigsaws. Which adds a bit of an extra bonus if you don't delete the game when all have completed it in their different profiles, yet they haven't gone through the extras.
If needed, there are play modes where one can skip the puzzles, if too challenging.
