## What is The Grinch?

Have a great Grinchy time trying to steal Christmas in this festive platformer – and help the Grinch’s small heart grow a few sizes bigger along the way!

Every Who down in Who-ville loves to sing, gift and feast, which are all of the things Grinch can’t stand in the least. So, help the Grinch and his dog Max set out to steal all the presents in Who-ville. 

You’ll have to be sneaky to avoid the bothersome babble of carol singers, the ever-eager Whos, and all of the tinsel, trimmings and trappings of the Christmas season.

Thankfully, the Grinch has some wonderful, awful ideas – like a Santa costume for stealthy sneaking, a Candy Cane Lasso to swing around, a speedy snowboard that can reach special race areas, and more. And Grinch can throw snowballs to freeze any pesky creatures that get in his way.

### 5/5 — This is a huge Dr. Seuss game

*2026-08-10*

I love it so much but some levels you have to pay the 699 a month and if you haven’t paid it then then you can’t play the whole game

### 1/5 — Awful game

*2026-01-03*

I hate this game because you have a do a monthly subscription and then when you leave the game it will make you start over again, this is annoying waste of time.

### 1/5 — Pay to play

*2025-12-25*

You only get to play the first level an then you have to pay some much a month to play the rest of the levels

### 1/5 — No Subscription!

*2025-12-22*

Just let me pay once and I would play.  Until then, forget it.

### 3/5 — Fun, but…

*2025-11-17*

I enjoy playing this game, but it would be nice if it was in its original aspect ratio. When I play on my iPad, there are some parts I can’t see, and I miss some of the objects that I need to collect. If you could give me the option to play it in its original aspect ratio on my tablet, that would be great.

### 1/5 — $6.99 per month?

*2025-11-16*

They want me to subscribe to play a grinch game? I don’t think so.

### 3/5 — Mirror mode

*2025-11-15*

I’ve made my way through the normal game and really enjoyed it but when I try to play the mirror mode it locks up and freezes the controls so I can’t continue.

### 3/5 — Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch: Christmas Adventures.

*2025-08-05*

For starters, I love Dr. Seuss, and his imaginative, colourful, and zany worlds. And The Grinch is one of my favourite books ever written. When I heard that this game was on mobile, I was happy to download and start playing. But, what I didn’t know was that you have to PAY to play the rest of the game. That’s crazy. 
Why, Outright Games? Why?
I’m so disappointed. I love the game, but I can only do the tutorial world.

### 4/5 — Эххх

*2025-07-25*

Игра очень классная но жаль что платная хотела пойграть начала и подумала наконец бесплатная игра но нет платная игра

### 5/5 — 100% Completion

*2025-03-26, version 1.0.0*

I completed the free version of’The Grinch: Christmas Adventures’ by 100%.
