Overview
Xmas Town is an annual event where you explore a town for items, special items and rewards.
The current system was implemented in 2010, and ran from the 22nd of December until (forecasted) the 29th of December.

To move along the grid you have to use a turn, of which you get 250 per day.
At certain locations you can get objectives, which you can complete for rewards, and you can discover random items/ chests.
Chests
To crack chests, you have to guess their lock combination. Chests have either 1, 2 or 3 number combination locks. You have 5 guesses. Combinations are different for different people.
If the number guess is correct, it will be green. If the number is not used in any columns, it is displayed as red. If the number is in the wrong column, but correct for another column it will be displayed as yellow. It is basically a mini-version of the code-breaking game Mastermind (which you can practice/ play Here).
Opening a chest gives you a random three candy or drink items, and one set collectible.
How to unlock Chests:
1 Number: These are a guess. Good luck.
2 or 3 Numbers: Put in as many numbers as possible for the first turns, until you have gotten enough greens and/or yellows to figure out what numbers are in the combination are. It helps to write down what numbers, in which columns, get yellow or green.
For instance, for a three combination lock always put in 1,2,3 then 4,5,6 and 7,8,9 (even if one of them come up green),or until you have gotten three different numbers display as either yellow or green.
Then you can hopefully figure out which numbers go where, by process of elimination. Greens you've already got, yellows are in a different column. If you're doing a two number chest, which has two of the same number, there is a chance the above system will get it wrong (in your first four turns you can only check numbers up to 8, if there's still one missing, it's either 9, or two of the same), but it's a small chance.
Chest Contents:
Each Chest gives you 3 random Candies and/or drinks, and a fixed collectible.
Example:

You've been taken to hospital (6 minutes)
Wondering what makes Ruldophs nose red, you walk up to him to get a close look. Getting a kick clean in the face from another reindeer tells you maybe you just found out.

You see a huge bag of Gifts, just sitting there on a sleigh. You have a good look around, and see no one looking. You think to yourself, if you take just one, no one will miss it. You lean in to pick one up when you feel a huge fist on your face. See Santa isn't always a nice guy.
You've been taken to hospital (9 minutes)
You see a group of kids having a snowball fight. Picking up a handful of snow, you decide to join in. All of them turn on you and throw snowballs at you, at the same time. Damn, them things hurt.

It's so cold out, you really need to pee. You decide ducking behind a tree for a quick leak, wont hurt anyone, until you're arrested for indecent exposure.

This is the shortest way to do all quests and pick up all items:
sidenotes 2=34=52
4=36,5 (yea yea i forgot abut it and added it later chill)
18=34
this will take you exacly 433 steps and after 1 day (250 steps) you will be at nr. 34
this helps you to quickly pickup all stacionary than just press up rigt down left untill you run out of steps every day =) hope you enjoy u have any question or find a shorter way (i triplechecked but i might forget sth)mail me in game ID: brko21
merry christmass
(all credits for the background picture go to tcb =) )

Stopping to see what people are looking at, you see an old man nearly in tears.
'Whats the matter' you ask him
'My granddaughter's scarf. I borrowed it, now its stuck in that tree. Can you get it down for me?'
You have a look, and see it won't be too hard to get. You climb the tree, and retrieve it. You hand it back to the man.
'Here mate, take this gift card, as a show of my appreciation.'
You accept the gift card, and continue on your way.
