This Wherigo cartridge is based on the book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" is a children's story by Dr. Seuss written in rhymed verse with illustrations by the author.

About This Cartridge

The Grinch, a bitter, grouchy, cave-dwelling creature with a heart "two sizes too small", lives on snowy Mount Crumpit, a steep, 3,000-foot (910 m) high mountain just north of Whoville, home of the merry and warm-hearted Whos. His only companion is his faithful dog, Max. From his perch high atop Mount Crumpit, the Grinch can hear the noisy Christmas festivities that take place in Whoville. Annoyed and unable to understand the Whos' happiness, he makes plans to descend on the town and deprive them of their Christmas presents, Roast Beast, Who-hash and decorations and thus "prevent Christmas from coming." However, he learns in the end that despite his success in taking away all the Christmas presents and decorations from the Whos, Christmas comes just the same. He then realizes that Christmas is more than just gifts and presents. Touched by this, his heart grows three sizes larger; he returns all the presents and trimmings and is warmly welcomed into the community of the Whos.

 

Starting Location

You are on an adventure quest to save Santa's reindeer that have been kidnapped by the Grinch and return them to the reindeer stable. You will be starting at the North Pole to start your adventure.

The game just didn't seem to "flow" great. No screen promts telling you what to do next. I just went to zones and unlocked items but nothing telling me to go there in the first place.

Never did get a completion code nor did the completed save file mark it as complete.

Very first Whereigo. This one was a little frustrating to 3 of us. 2 of us were doing for the 1st time and it was really cold. All of our GPS'es kept freezing up at the Grinche's Cave. We finally ended up using one of the gals I-phone to complete it and we got it done.

Won't rate this one since it was my 1st and very cold. Let me get a few more under my belt to get a good feel for them. Thanks for the hard work putting this together.

Our children really enjoyed this adventure. It was our first Wherigo. We did not know what to expect. It worked perfectly for us! We highly recommend this Wherigo for other people doing a Wherigo for the first time.
