******** GAME ********
The sea is stormy, and the wind is unforgiving. You do all you can, but your little boat capsizes and crashes into a rock! You are washed ashore on a tropical island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. You find yourself in the midst of an adventure—one that you must solve using your brain to be able to leave Miracle Island and return home for Christmas! Every day, the story will progress with a new puzzle to solve.

The puzzles vary in difficulty. Even if you can't solve a puzzle, you can still progress with the story. However, the solution may provide context for the following day. Please note that this game is non-religious, but it does have references to Santa and Christmas.

******** AUDIENCE ********
This game is designed for kids, tweens, and teenagers aged 9 and up.

- Kids aged 5-8 may enjoy the game with support from a parent or grandparent, making it a great bonding activity. The stories are enjoyable for everyone, but some puzzles may be challenging.
- Kids aged 9-12 can usually enjoy the game with little to no help.
- Ages 12 and up can likely solve most puzzles independently. However, please note that some puzzles may still be challenging even for adults. :)

If you get stuck, I suggest checking the hint file or, better yet, trying again after a short break.
