Make your own advent calendar of games

Feed it one small game a day. Here are 24 ideas, three per row, each with a twist.

• Days 1 to 3. A snowball rolling race, a present-stacking tower, an elf hide and seek.
• Days 4 to 6. A sled run down your street, a cookie-catching game, a reindeer quiz.
• Days 7 to 9. A chimney obby, a wrapping-paper slice game, a snowman you build against the clock.
• Days 10 to 12. An ice-skating dodge game, a lost-mitten search, a carol you play with taps.
• Days 13 to 15. A gingerbread house escape, a tinsel tangle puzzle, a penguin waiter game.
• Days 16 to 18. A snow fort defense, a grinch-spotting deduction game, a hot cocoa pouring game.
• Days 19 to 21. A sleigh delivery route, an ornament sort puzzle, a frozen-lake fishing game.
• Days 22 to 24. A present heist from your sibling, a midnight Santa stealth game, and day 24: a game starring your family.

New games every day, all year

On Roam, a free iPhone app, the feed gets new games every day, so it works like a calendar that never runs out. Snowball Evolution and Powder Panic are two winter ones to open early. And any idea above can be typed into Roam as one sentence and played the same day.
