Here comes Weekday Escape, here comes Weekday Escape, right down a lane they couldn't afford to get named after themselves... Hmmm, needs work. But while we work out how to break into the high-rolling world of Christmas soundtracks, why don't you enjoy these three holiday-themed escape games? This week! Amajeto's not only trimmed the tree, they've stocked it with presents for you! CHOKO-CHAI's cats are still at the school of witchcraft, but decorating their tree is part of their grade. And Aries Escape is throwing a Christmas party... too bad getting dressed for it is made complicated by some beastly puzzles!
Jigsaw Santa Escape - It's beginning to look a lot like Amajeto... hmmm, not sure that one's destined to become a classic Christmas chart topper. But if you're looking for something to make you feel a little festive, this'll hit the spot. Sure you're locked in a room, but there's presents, puzzles, a comfy bed, presents, books, and, oh yeah, did I mention... presents? It may not take you very long compared to some, but any excuse to kick back with some Christmas themed escapery is fine by me.
3 Cats and Christmas of The School of Witchcraft - CHOKO-CHAI's kittens are still being diligent students at the school of witchcraft, but just because they're learning how to deal with boggarts and properly care for blast-ended skrewts doesn't mean they don't have time for fun and games. In fact, getting a little Christmassy is part of their assignment... they have to decorate the tree before they can escape! Remember that you can actually call upon the cats to help you with things, so if you get stuck, try clicking the cat icon in the bottom left for certain obstacles.
My Boyfriend's Room 2 - Aries Escape is feeling a little of the Christmas cheer too... enough that this time, you're trying to get ready for the annual Christmas party you and your boyfriend throw. He's off preparing for it, and all you have to do is get dressed... which, of course, involves cracking some truly fiendish puzzles and locks. Despite a toe-tapping jingle-bell-riffic soundtrack, this one might be the least Christmassy of the lot from a theme standpoint if you're over getting deluged by the holiday, but unfortunately it may also be the least intuitive, too, so gird your loins and get cracking!

My Boyfriend's Room 2 - Aries Escape Walkthrough
This is a bit more step-by-step than I usually try to do, but I don't have time for a more hint-oriented approach right now. Sorry. :)
Colorblind help is provided where needed. Note that the help is of the "click three times" variety, and none of the keypads/buttons reset themselves, so try not to click things randomly.
Philodendron
- get green key
- flip over leaf near the bottom left; get green numbers
Snowy painting
- get blue key
Bed
- lift left pillow; get blue numbers
- note bedspread pattern, specifically the four complete tiles in the middle column.
square with a plus sign, four-petal flower, square with ovals in the corners, circle with an X of bubbles in the middle
Dresser
- flip over picture of fish; get knob
- Open the second drawer from the top. Combine green & blue numbers to open the box.
Note that the blue numbers have each digit exactly once, while the green numbers repeat the 6. So use the blue numbers to determine which of the green numbers to click.
For example, the blue 1 is in the middle. The number in the corresponding location on the green numbers is 5, so the first number of the code is 5. Next, the blue 2 is on the bottom left, which translates to 2; and so forth.
526769318
Get: coin
- Use the green key to open the bottom drawer.
The grouping box doesn't seem to have an additional hint, and the solutions don't really make sense, but trial and error has determined that you need to set each group of buttons to different categories of air, land, or sea - order doesn't matter, and crucially, you can and will have repeats, especially in the land category. The easiest is actually to just set each group to the same item, for example, three lions, three paper airplanes, and three fish.
- Get: an 8-letter clue.
REINDEER
- Use the bedspread pattern to open the doors on the right.
8 clicks, 2 clicks, 3 clicks, 7 clicks
- Use the clue from the grouping box to open the pink box; get the coin
- If you want, you can put your two coins into the weird lamp thingy on top of the dresser. It has four indicator lights, so we'll need a total of four coins.
Nightstand
- Put the knob (from the back of the fish picture) into the lamp.
Turn on the lamp and see if anything changes. No? Try clicking the switch some more: ah, there are two "on" positions.
If you turn on the lamp with the switch to the right, you'll see a code projected onto the nightstand.
Upright triangle, circle, upside-down triangle, circle, diamond, square, diamond
Coffee table
- Use the blue key to open the pink box; get the coin
TV stand
- Open the bottom right drawer.
Use the code from the nightstand to open the box.
Number of clicks: 4, 1, 2, 1, 5, 3, 5
Get: coin
Dresser
- Put your coins into the coin-collector lamp thingy (all four indicator lights should turn green). Press the pink button and watch what happens.
Color sequence: blue, yellow, red, yellow, blue, green
Height sequence (4 = top, 1 = bottom): 4 3 2 3 4 1
TV stand
- Look at the equalizer on the top right shelf. Use the height code from the coins to open it. Get the grey key.
Sofa
- Look under the cushions to find a yellow box.
Use the color code from the coins to open it.
Colorblind
Clicks: 7, 4, 1, 4, 7, 5
Get: personal security card
Fall painting
- Click the letters on the painting to "collect" them all on a white slip of paper. (The order doesn't matter.)
- Note that there's an arrow to the left.
Three buttons and an indicator light, but we don't have a clue for this yet.
Nightstand
- Use the personal security card to open the drawer.
- Unscramble the letters from the painting to open the aqua box.
Hint: despite the lack of other indicators to that effect, this is a Christmas game.
SANTA
Get: paper with red dots scattered over it.
Fall painting
- Maybe those red dots aren't randomly scattered on that paper.
Each dot is at one of three different heights.
Bottom, top, middle, top, bottom, middle
Click the left arrow to view the three buttons, then press them according to the code.
- Click back to the right and note the numbers that appeared in the bottom right corner.
81973
Closet
- Use the grey key to open the closet doors.
- Zoom in on the wardrobe door.
Note the arrow pointing up. A slot, eh?
Put the personal identification card into the slot, then look back down at the front of the pad.
Enter the code from the fall painting to open the wardrobe.
Normal end
Get the clothes from the wardrobe. Click the torso (to the right of your inventory) and put the clothes on it. Click the door and click OK to exit.
Happy end
Put on the clothes from the wardrobe, but don't go out the door yet. Look at the dresser; what's with the spotlight?
Get the cup from the coffee machine. Flip it over to find another coin.
Put the coin into the gadget (all the indicator lights will turn yellow) and press the pink button.
green, yellow, green, red, blue, red, blue, yellow, green
Go back to the closet and zoom in on the bottom drawer of the wardrobe. Click the buttons according to the new code from the coin thingy.
Colorblind:
(numbering from left to right) 4 2 4 3 1 3 1 2 4
Open the drawer and get your presents: a necklace and a festive red, uh, outfit.
Put the necklace on, but keep the red outfit for later: she'll refuse to leave if you put it on.
Now you can go out the door.
