What is The Grinch: Christmas Adventures?
Join the Grinch and Max for a Christmas-themed platforming adventure in Who-ville.
Move quietly through town, take presents, and evade singing residents and suspicious Whos. Solving puzzles grants new tools, such as snowballs, a Santa outfit, a candy-cane rope, and a jetpack for high jumps. A fast snowboard opens access to dedicated racing sections, while snowballs can immobilize creatures. The game offers two-player local play, with one participant controlling each character. Its presentation draws on Dr. Seuss’s book artwork, and its controls and puzzles are aimed at younger players. The story follows the Grinch’s plan to end Christmas and the gradual growth of his heart.
