Happy Holidays from the GAPP team! Here's a few snacks to keep your socks stuffed.

As a small extra gift, here's a GAPP 101 for the Fire Walk: If a fire cell has at least one cross mark, it cannot contain a double turn.

See the following post for the rules to each puzzle.

RULES:

Guide Arrow: Shade some empty cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No complete loop of cells may be unshaded (including 2x2s). An arrow indicates the only direction in which one could begin a path to the star without going through a shaded cell or backtracking.

Double Choco: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells, each containing a connected group of white cells and a connected group of grey cells, with the property that the shape of the white cells is identical to the shape of the grey cells, allowing rotations and reflections. Clued cells must belong to a region containing the indicated number of white cells and the indicated number of grey cells.

Family Photo: Divide the grid into rectangular regions of orthogonally connected cells. Each region must contain exactly one number, which indicates how many circles are in the region. Orthogonally adjacent circles must be in the same region.

Ice Walk: Draw a loop through the centers of some cells which passes through each numbered cell. Two perpendicular line segments may intersect each other only on icy cells, but they may not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. The loop may not turn on icy cells. A number indicates how many cells make up the continuous non-icy section of the loop that the number is on.

Fire Walk: Draw a loop that passes through every numbered cell. The loop cannot branch or cross itself. Orange cells represent fire, while regular cells represent ground. The loop must turn on every orange cell it visits. The loop is allowed to visit an orange cell twice if the centre of the cell is inside the loop. A number indicates how many cells make up the continuous grounded section of the loop that the number is on.
