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.

(click for larger image)

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 opened a chest!
You crack the chest open and empty the contents in to a bag.

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

Spotting what looks like a large clearing in the woods, you run towards it thinking it could be the way out of this frozen hell hole. You decide you were wrong when you realise you're half emerged in a semi frozen lake. No wonder no one else was here. Better go to the hospital for a check up.

You've been taken to hospital
