Ridgeline Riddles™: Christmas Hearth – Printable Christmas Riddle Game

A little mystery for the merriest season.

Christmas is full of wrapped-up surprises. These riddles add a few more: small puzzles that pull the family off their phones, into the same room and laughing at the same answer. This edition follows one snowy day from a bright morning at the trailhead to the summit on Christmas Eve. Each sheet is marked like a real hike, circle for easy, square for moderate, diamond for the summit, so everyone from the littlest elf to Grandpa gets a climb that fits.

A riddle for every part of the season

A riddle a night all December, gift tags on wrapping night, a cookie huddle on baking day, Workshop Wisecracks at the kids' table, Cookie Points after dinner and the Memory Riddle by the fire on Christmas Eve. A one-page host guide shows how each one works.

Host tip: Let the youngest player read the riddle and the oldest guess first. It slows the quick ones down and gives everyone a turn to shine.
