Full of glitches
I paid for this game. I have been experiencing so many glitches it has become unplayable. I am sorely disappointed.
Problème
Le bouton passer fonctionne mal?
Roof glitch and incorrect pricing
The multi game part would not let me switch the roofs, I ended up having to skip. Then it came to the “Unlock full version” screen and said $4.99. I went to purchase it and it changed to $6.99
Pity about the bugs! 🐜
I was really enjoying this Christmas game with lovely graphics until I kept getting intermittent black screens with a few items showing and some of the inventory items started showing as just a grey ball. If you tapped on the grey ball it did tell you what the inventory item was. Also the map has started getting glitchy, again, intermittently. This is spoiling an otherwise good game. A lot of the puzzles are very tricky and I had to skip a few which I rarely do
UPDATE IT’S FIXED!
Thank you, developers, for finally fixing this beautifully done classic game. It works flawlessly now. My advice to all is NEVER spend your money because the game eventually quits working after a few OS updates. I go back and play these Christmas games every year as I should be able to do since I bought it. Now they don’t work. The screen blacks out and when you restart, it just blacks out again. And as far as I can tell, the developers won’t update these older games.
Do not buy.
This use to be one of my favorites that I play during Christmas, but unfortunately, like Gift of the Maji and Little prince the graphics mess up on the last story. I would like to think that this would be fixed soon, but like the last two I mentioned, The Express maybe another title that won’t be working for the upcoming years. Just avoid the heartbreak by not purchasing
Nice Game
I have bought most if the Christmas Story games and although I enjoyed this one, there were a few scenes where the background kept blacking out and it was difficult to play them. I have an iPad Pro so it wasn’t anything to do with my device. The backgrounds tended to reappear every so often but it’s a shame it spoilt gameplay a little.
Needs bug fixes
I’m enjoying the general story, but there are numerous bugs that make gameplay unpleasant. For example, I’m currently playing the third chapter (Greta/Hansel’s story), and the screens keep glitching! Completely black except for animated/touchable areas, so it’s hard to tell what to do next
Idk about it
Me and my grandma were playing this when we were on the last story the mouse wouldn’t go under the bed when we gave the gnome the moon and the sun BUT it wouldn’t give us the flashlight I love it but please FIX it
Beautiful graphics
I loved this game, beautiful scenes and lots of hidden object puzzles, one of the best games I’ve played.
Graphics keep failing
This is the second game I’ve paid for where the graphics have glitched after the free trial. Starting to feel ripped off.
Reasonable good game
It was quite long enough without becoming boring. Only gripe being some mini puzzles didn’t work properly. If there is going to be the added opportunity of playing secret rooms/games then please at least have it so that the item being searched for is bright enough to see. The items were too light and half the time couldn’t be seen, a case of just tapping away and eventually something happens. Youngsters got rather unhappy at this stage. Shame these games are very expensive. More might be purchased if they were better priced, even more so with so many people unemployed.
Christmas Stories 8 - Enchanted Express
I liked the game just fine until I got to the 3rd story. The Guide and the story somehow binded together and then froze. So you can’t read the Guide and you can’t really see the all items in the story clearly. I have deleted and reinstalled it but the same thing happened again. Though, I like and wanted to complete the game, I requested a refund. I wish that I could send you a picture of the problem because I know it’s hard to understand what I described above. Maybe if you can fix this, I will try purchasing it again. Update: this game is not getting better. I’m on CH 3, where I’m supposed to “Enter Elven Village”per the Guide…but where is Elven Village? The map doesn’t show it and tapping on the screen doesn’t do anything. Help!
Glitchy
Like the game but it’s very hard to click on some things and in at least one scene you can’t even get to a collectible because your brother blocks the entire thing so you don’t get the achievement
Lovely xmas game
It didn't work at the beginning (no sound) but I have installed it again and it works. great graphic an dperfect xmas athmpsphere :)
Schade
Ihr schreibt das die Spiele auf Deutsch sind. Nicht wahr, Englisch englisch englisch 👎
Having trouble getting collectible item Tommy’s room
Great game, my only complaint is that I can’t get to a collectible item in Tommy’s room the first area. The mouse is in the way and the map shows that there is a collectible item there. This is mildly infuriating to me so if you could fix it I would appreciate it.
Mini-Games very buggy!
It’s a fun, no-brainer sort of game cute graphics and music, but probably a lot more challenging for kids. I DL’d the trial, but first two mini-games I had to “skip” because they did not respond to the actions as they were supposed to do. Therefore I will not be paying for the full game. A real joy-killer, IMO.
Express
Nice colourful game but quite short for the price. If the strategy guide was available before purchase at least you could check how long the game is
How refreshing
A Hidden Object Adventure game without death and skeletons!
Boring
No real challenge.... game is too childish in theme
As usual, beautiful....
I was forced to restart Christmas tales from the beginning since no refund or as a matter of fact, no answer to my repeated requests for help.... so, maybe stupidly, I bought into another of theses games, hoping against hope, someone will listen if I get stuck again...I cannot leave such a beautifully set up set of games....am I crazy? I guess I’ll see...I just asked what the phrase “walk down” meant in the strategy guide meant....I’m not slow, but there are many definitions that can be attached to this phrase....I hope they answer......I love these games, but customer service leaves a bit to be desired...If I get an answer..I’ll apologize... *******Dispute the not answering my inquiry, I will give this compliment...I just finished this game and I found this game charming; you MUST tap all objects on each site. The objects move or tinkle or twinkle.....It’s just FUN! The train was my favorite, but I have always loved trains....
Please help
Hi, I love the game and paid 5.99 but there are problems now - a dark background as I play which doesn’t allow me to enjoy the game. Very disappointing I do hope you can help me fix it! I’ll give 2 stars just for this reason.
Terrific game
Everything works together in this one. I always look for the mixing of music and movement—plus this has great puzzles, great stories, great characters. Thank you all for continuing these games that carry us through tough days with pleasure and keep our brains sharp. Moxieruby
Bugs galore
I love these games but made it the final story/quest and it just keeps blacking out. You can pick items up they don’t appear, etc etc. I’ve restarted it so many times but it isn’t playable. Completely stinks because it was quite fun and yet very annoying because I bought game.
Christmas Stories: Enchanted Express by LynxMinx
This gorgeous and magical little gem appeared a bit belatedly, but it was so magnificent that I didn’t really mind. More surprisingly, the helper in this game was Hansel, in the form of a mouse, and he was adorable (pretend that I never said that, lol!). The graphics were colorful and exciting, the storyline captured my interest, and the gameplay was entertaining and addictive. Each location had a plethora of tasks and collectibles. There was an issue, however with the collectible figurines. I was not able to collect the figurine in Tommy’s room because the little mouse was blocking it. However, more importantly, the map functioned properly, the HO scenes had an interesting variety, and there were different types of puzzles and games to suit every player. The game was actually a decent length, inclusive of the bonus adventure. It seemed shorter than it was because I so enjoyed the gameplay! I felt like I was actually in a fairy tale. My true rating will be 4.5 stars, and I only deducted a half star due to the collectibles issue. The overall quality assurance was better than what we had seen in the last few Elephant games. Keep the games coming, Elephant! We are raring to play! Happy gaming to everyone, and Happy New Year!
Pleas eupdate to ios 14 compatible
If you have recently updated to ios 14 this game will not work properly and gives a weird looking glitchy screen with squares all over it, please update asap as i cant finish it and its a brilliant game
Christmas Stories Express
Excited to find this when I opened apps. Beautiful scenery with lots of detail. Loved the hos games with variety and detail in each one. The different stories from the train kept my interest. May be short for some but I also spent time in secret room and replaying puzzles and hos. Truly enjoyed it.
Nicely done
What a nice surprise! It was a very cute game, had variety, and was a decent length.
Happy new year
Thank you for coming back, I missed your Christmas games. The game was a nice treat. I really enjoyed the game. I hope we see more of you.
