If you're +wondering what all of this is about, you can read the [history of my +Christmas puzzles](../). + +Since I designed these puzzles for my sons, some of the artwork and +imagery will have more meaning to them than it would to anyone +else. But the puzzles themselves are all designed so that they can be +solved using only general knowledge and logic. + +The puzzles this year include word games (anagrams, cryptograms), +logic puzzles (sudoku, star battle, fillomino, yajilin), and other +classic puzzles (riddles, mazes, etc.) as well as a few unique +surprises. Of course, there's also a big meta-puzzle to pull it all +together. + +I'm very interested in any feedback you might have, positive or +negative, about puzzles, themes, difficulty, etc. So please share +whatever comments you have. I'm also happy to confirm solutions to any +puzzles in the hunt or to provide additional hints if needed. So feel +free to email me at: [Carl Worth ](mailto:Carl +Worth ). + +The puzzle hunt is available in two forms: + +## Complete puzzle hunt (30-page PDF) + +Download the [Complete Puzzle Hunt](code-2015.pdf). + +## Individual Pages + +I designed these puzzles for my four sons at Christmastime. When we +placed their gifts under the tree, we didn’t put any names on them, +but instead each gift had one of the 16 rather puzzling tags you can +find below. A correct solution for all of the puzzles will allow the +solver to determine which of my sons should receive each gift. (My +sons are named Cameron, Hyrum, Andrew, and Scott) + +(Click on thumbnails for single-page PDF of each puzzle) + +### Gift Tags + + + + + +### The Ornament Puzzles + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +### The Final Puzzle + + + +### Hints and Credity + +CAUTION: There are some (mild) spoilers in this section.
