The Christmas Gifts game is a simple matching puzzle: connect three or more matching items in a line to clear them from the board and earn points. Use a touchscreen or a mouse to select and link the items. The basic goal is to make valid matches while keeping an eye on the available pieces.
How to play the Christmas Gifts game
Start by choosing an item on the board, then touch and hold or press and hold the mouse button as you trace a line through matching items. A group must contain at least three items that match. When you release, the linked items disappear and add to your score.
- Look across the board for items that match.
- Touch and hold the first item, or click and hold it with your mouse.
- Keep holding while you draw a line through two or more additional matching items.
- Release to complete the match and clear the linked items.
If the selection does not form a group of three or more matching items, it may not count as a valid match. Check the items along your intended route before releasing.
Tips for making matches
Take a moment to scan the board before starting each line. This can help you spot a longer sequence of matching items rather than stopping at the first group of three. Since clearing a match earns points, linking more matching items in one move may help you build your score.
- Plan your route: Identify the matching items you want to connect before you begin dragging.
- Keep the line accurate: Move steadily from one matching item to the next so the selection follows your intended path.
- Use the control that feels easiest: Touch controls work on a touchscreen, while a mouse can offer precise movement on a computer.
- Check for another option: If you do not see a clear match, scan the board again before making a selection.
Touchscreen and mouse controls
On a touchscreen, press and keep your finger on the first item while moving across the matching pieces. With a mouse, click and hold the first item, then move the pointer along the line. In either case, maintain the touch or button press until the selection is complete, and release to finish the move.
For smoother play, avoid lifting your finger or releasing the mouse button before you have linked at least three matching items. If the line does not register as expected, try again with a clearer route.
Enjoy the puzzle
The Christmas Gifts game is built around a straightforward loop: find matching items, connect at least three in a line, and clear them to earn points. Focus on accurate selections and look for opportunities to connect longer groups. With a little planning, you can play more confidently and work toward a higher score.
