Puralax is a simple puzzle game where you need to paint every colored tile into one single color to complete each level. Each level has a different target color, indicated by the color of the top bar on the screen. Rules are simple: You can move colored tiles between white empty cells in vertical or horizontal directions (one cell at a time), or you can paint a neighbor tile by dragging one tile into another. Each tile has a limited amount of moves, shown by little white dots inside it. When you paint one tile, you can generate a chain reaction that will begin to paint every attached tile from the same color. The first six levels comes with an assistant that remind you the rules and tells you which tiles move where. So, what are you waiting for? Start painting, and remember... colors are alive!

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).
