Imaginarium’s “Light Up the Night” is a family-friendly outdoor event taking place at Cal Expo in Sacramento from November 19th through January 16th (select days). The event is brought to you by the producers of Global Winter Wonderland, which opened in 2011 in Santa Clara as the first-ever Chinese lantern festival to ever be held in the United States. It was held at Cal Expo from 2014 – 2018 to appreciative crowds. This year’s event is a new concept and is a more immersive experience featuring an incredible array of lighting displays, responding to music and attendees. Guests will love walking through illuminated tunnels and the Field of Dreams aglow with over 30,000 roses arriving at Winter Wonderland. In total there are over three million LED lights, creating a unique and exhilarating event specifically designed for this year’s extended holiday season. There’s the Rhapsody in Blue zone where lights are synchronized with music, creating a festive and fun atmosphere for adults and children alike. In addition to this innovative and experiential evening, the event producers note that there will be a food court, Beer Garden, and vendors. And like past events, there will be carnival rides and games to enjoy, along with having pictures taken with costumed characters and Santa (Santa plans to arrive after December 5th).

Sharpen your mind with Mathgrid, the minimalist puzzle game where logic meets arithmetic. If you love Sudoku but want something faster and more dynamic, this is your new daily brain workout. The rules are simple, but the challenge is endless: You are presented with a 3x3 grid, which you have to fill with numbers from 1 to 9 (each level uses a unique set). Every grid starts with one fixed number. Between the cells, you’ll find math operators. These are your clues. Follow the intersections to deduce which number belongs in the next cell. ..:: FEATURES ::.. - Infinite Puzzles: No two games are the same. The game generates a fresh, random puzzle every time you start a level. - Zen-Like Design: Enjoy a clean, flat aesthetic with a calming color palette designed to help you focus. - Brain Training: Improve your mental math speed and deductive reasoning skills while you play. - Pick Up and Play: Perfect for a 30-second break or an hour-long deep dive. There’s no limit to how far you can go. Step into the grid and see how many levels you can master! ------------------------------------------------ XSGames (by Frank Eno) is a solo indie game dev from Italy, crafting puzzle games since 2021 Follow me on Threads or Instagram: @xsgames_
