Good to see two solid entries this month. My thoughts:
Alien Prison Escape by Bulbapuck
Santa Quest by GOC Games

Alien Prison Escape by Bulbapuck

Great idea, good story, really funny and what stands out is the puzzles. I particularly enjoyed the "close up" puzzle.

Despite missing Christmas by a few days, still a good seasonal entry! Rather than having a variety of puzzle, this has a lot of (I think 12?) matchup puzzles based on clues. I got some of them off the bat but some I had no idea. When the game was over I got a "Better luck next time" message. I suppose that gives the game an opportunity for replay by recording which present you gave to which child and then using a process of elimination approach improving the results each subsequent time until you get a perfect score. My own preference was to leave the game as is rather than continuing to play repeatedly
