Jamaaliday Rescue {Phantoms and Presents and Deer, Oh My!}

Hey guys! December 12th, and we've got two days of presents to catch up on.

December 11th- Snowflake Decorations

December 12th- Snowflake Balloon and One Diamond.

Remember, the diamond gift is for Members Only. (Which really bugs me, but I'm probably one fo the few members that really cares. :I )

Also, 13 days until Christmas!

So, there's a new adventure called Jamaaliday Rescue. You can access it through the Parties tab, although as far as I've seen there aren't any portals to it in the various worlds. 

Basically, the phantoms have once again caused destruction, and stolen the presents that the Reindeer were going to deliver for the holidays. (Because, due to the various religions that would object, they can't put Santa Claus in there). Just like the Corn Maze adventure, you have to work your way through the ice labyrinth and get to the center, the Headquarters for the Reindeer. The difference is that instead of finding keys, you pick up presents that lie every couple inches on the screen, and can be picked up the same way you pick of the 25 gem bag you get from "capturing" a phantom. (Ha, euphemisms.) You have four different levels you can reach, organized by the amount of presents you collect. 

The last level is 450 presents, but since you've already collected 300 from the last level, you only have 150 presents left to get. Considering the huge amount of presents throughout the entire adventure, it's actually not that hard and only takes about 15-20 minutes to complete the entire thing. Which, by the way, is much more reasonable than the Corn Maze adventure, which took 45 minutes-1 hour.

Although this adventure does not get you any gems, it gets you plenty of objects, and even some rare items that we've never experienced as a RIM. (I got a Rare Old Blanket, a Rare Deer Fur, and a Rare Striped Scarf. Only the Blanket was one of the nonmember gifts.) Speaking of, you can technically get two gifts for each level of presents you complete, but there's a catch; you have to be a member. This seems just a little unfair; I know that Animal Jam needs the money us members pay to keep running, we saw that first-hand just after beta days ended, but even so, this seems a bit much. Maybe allow nonmembers to get the extra gifts while collecting presents, but for the treasure chest in the centre have an extra gift for members only? (Which it already has, but I mean to keep that one and take the rest out.) 

So, anyway, it's a pretty fun adventure. I got plenty of den items to decorate my den all Christmasy- or Jamaaliday-y if you wanna try that, too- and got three new clothing items that are rare. Woo! 

Bundle up, it's finally getting cold,
