What is Christmas Unscrew The Gift?
Christmas Unscrew The Gift is a 60-second puzzle game that runs in the browser. Each gift is held shut by plates stacked on top of each other, and every plate is fixed with screws. Players tap a glowing screw to unscrew it.
Order matters. A screw that sits under another plate is locked, and tapping it takes 2 seconds off the clock. So players work from the top down: clear a plate's screws, watch it fall away, and the screws underneath open up.
When the last plate drops, the gift is unwrapped and the next puzzle appears. The puzzles get trickier as the clock runs down. A player who gets stuck can reset the puzzle, but the clock keeps ticking, and only a gift solved without a reset earns the bonus.
The start screen has room for your logo, your brand name, a holiday campaign line and a product showcase, so players see your branding before the first screw turns.
How points work
- Each screw removed+10
- Each gift unwrapped+100
- Gift solved without a reset+25
- Tapping a locked screw−2s
One round lasts 60 seconds, and every locked tap takes 2 seconds of it.
Why a branded screw puzzle game works at events
It takes one tap to learn, and each gift is a small puzzle that rewards a careful look.
One tap per screw
Tap a glowing screw and it comes out. That's the whole control, so there's very little to explain at a busy booth, and every screw scores 10 points straight away.
Every gift is a small puzzle
Plates overlap, and a screw under another plate is locked. Players have to read the stack and clear the top plates first, which turns each gift into a quick test of attention.
Guessing costs time
Tapping a locked screw takes 2 seconds off a 60-second clock. Players who rush lose time, and players who look before they tap unwrap more gifts.
Clean solves pay off
Reset is there for anyone who gets stuck, but the clock keeps running. A gift solved without a reset adds 25 points on top of the 100 for unwrapping it.
How to play in three steps

Christmas Unscrew The Gift: your questions answered
How does a round of Christmas Unscrew The Gift work?
A round lasts 60 seconds. Players tap glowing screws to remove them, and each one scores 10 points. A plate with no screws left falls away, and clearing every plate unwraps the gift for 100 points. Then the next gift appears, and the puzzles get trickier as the round goes on. When time is up, the result screen shows the score and how many gifts were unwrapped.
What happens if a player taps a locked screw?
Plates are stacked, and a screw under another plate is locked. Tapping a locked screw takes 2 seconds off the clock, so it pays to clear the top plates first. If a player gets stuck, Reset restores the puzzle, but the clock keeps running, and only a gift solved without a reset earns the 25-point bonus.
Does it have a sign-up form or a leaderboard?
It has a form, and it comes after the round, never before play. From the result screen, players can submit their score with a display name, an optional email and a consent tick, or skip it and play again. The consent wording is a placeholder for your own terms. This demo has no leaderboard screen, so tell us where entries should go, and whether you want a board, when you request a quote.
Can we put our brand and products in the game?
Yes. The start screen has places for your logo, your brand name, a holiday campaign line and a product showcase. Tell us about your crowd and how long each player should stay at the screen when you request a quote, and we'll confirm which parts of the round, such as its length and points, can change.
