01 / THE GUIDE
Jumbo‑Jump Platforming
Players control the Grinch as he Jumbo‑Jumps across snowy 3D worlds, navigating falling stalactites, icy slopes, and rolling snowballs. The movement encourages exploration of every nook while collecting ornaments that add sparkle to the tree.
Each level rewards thorough searching with decorations, prompting players to master jump timing and reach higher platforms or secret areas that hide extra ornaments.
- Watch the arc of each jump to land cleanly on moving surfaces.
- Look for hidden routes along walls and ceilings that may contain extra ornaments.

Grinchy Gadgets
The Grinch can equip tools such as the Snowball Maker, Rocket Skates, and Jetpack to tackle specific obstacles. These gadgets let players freeze mischievous adversaries, zip across gaps, or reach higher platforms.
Gadgets appear throughout the levels; using them strategically simplifies tricky sections and opens new opportunities to collect decorations for the tree.
- Test each gadget in a low‑risk area before applying it to a difficult segment.
- Consider the order of gadget use, for example gaining speed with Rocket Skates before activating the Jetpack.

Vibrant Worlds
Four distinct areas—Grinch’s Cave, Mt. Crumpit, Who‑wood, and Who‑ville—offer varied terrain such as stalactite falls, slippery ice, towering trees, and hovering platforms. Each world presents its own visual theme and platforming puzzles.
Exploring these zones reveals hidden decorations and reinforces the goal of creating the most spectacular Christmas tree by filling it with ornaments found in every corner.
- Spend time scanning each world’s edges for concealed ornaments.
- Hidden paths can be uncovered throughout the levels, so keep an eye out for anything unusual along the way.

Local Co‑op with Max
A split‑screen co‑op mode lets a second player join as Max, assisting the Grinch in outsmarting mice, bats, and other curious creatures. Cooperation can make platforming challenges easier and increase ornament collection speed.
The mode uses shared/split screen, encouraging teamwork while navigating the levels together and helping collect decorations.
- Communicate gadget usage to avoid overlapping actions that could block each other.
- Assign one player to focus on movement while the other handles enemy disruption for smoother progress.
