The 12 Plays of Christmas
Inspired by our Time Machine series of historical 'clue-hunt' Online Adventures, the team at CLUESOLVERS is inviting you to join our FREE daily puzzle challenge.
To answer each puzzle you will need to solve the clues provided to find an event that happened in December, somewhere in the world at some point in history. Sound simple enough...?
A new puzzle will appear every day from Dec 23, 2025 to January 3, 2026.
YOUR MISSION:
Every day we will be setting a fun historical puzzle hidden somewhere on our website. You simply need to find visit the correct page, solve the puzzle, and submit your answer before 5pm MST on January 5th, 2026. Each correct answer you give will gain you one entry into our Grand Prize Draw to be held on January 6th, 2026. First prize is 5 Outside Adventures, Second prize is 3 Outside Adventures, and 3rd prize is 3 of our Online Adventures.
Our question is... DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES to solve the puzzles?
