Be free to ski this Christmas

Free, fun and festive on your phone—try Grand Mountain Adventure!

Would you look at that, Christmas is just around the corner! Our team here at Hey, Good Game wishes you the happiest holidays and hopes you find joy with your loved ones… and the games we’re about to recommend!

Grand Mountain Adventure is a free mobile game one of our team members has been playing for months now, and he’s been really into it! The game is surprisingly responsive for a phone game, and the gameplay is fun and therapeutic.

If you’re not into mobile games and prefer to play games on your browser, don't worry; we have a couple of ‘em lined up!

Five game insights we think will pique your interest!

First

Christmas is all about family and fun, and there’s no more fitting way to spread holiday cheer with a good snowball fight! Snowball Showdown is exactly what it sounds—you and another person go face-to-face, and instead of a gunslinging duel, it’s a snowslinging showdown! 

Mechanics are simple: mash your button (LeftShift for Player 1 or N for Player 2) to form your snowball then press it again to throw. Here’s the catch; if both of you arm up at the same time, you can dodge the incoming snowball by throwing yours before you get hit!

Prefer playing thoughtful puzzles? We have something fitting for you and the time of the year. Ice Interstice is a charming and easy-to-understand game revolving around a penguin who fell into a cave. Get back up by solving puzzles using your wits and your ice powers!

Some people want a challenging experience for Christmas, and if you’re one of them or want to gift someone a high-quality game, Frostpunk is the game that will bring the heat—literally. The game revolves around a post-apocalyptic ice age, and everyone must huddle together to create the last warm city on Earth.

Speaking of huddling together, Snow Flow is a short and sweet narrative game that puts you in the happy feet of a penguin that will build a family. No dialogues are spoken, just you strolling through thousands of penguins while trying to find the perfect partner. The electronic music accompanies the experience very well!

There’s just something about Christmas and the days leading up to it. Everything just feels lighter, the winds are freezing but everybody’s smiling… It’s definitely an ideal holiday to end the year with.

All are looking forward to a warm evening and a great time, and we hope the games and things we share help you feel happier.

And to that special feeling you get with Christmas, Norman Vincent Peale, an American Protestant clergyman and author known for popularizing the concept of positive thinking, summed it up perfectly:

“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.”

It’s a bit early, but we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Please make the most of the holidays by resting your body and mind with good food and entertainment (like our games!)
