Holiday Hex Sort is a timed sorting game with a winter holiday theme. In a forest clearing covered in snow across 60 levels, the player arranges mixed stacks of hexagon-shaped tiles, or hexes, into identical 10-tile stacks.
The game presents the player with an empty board that looks like a slice of a honeycomb and a set of three stacks of mixed hex tiles. The player slides a stack onto the board. They then slide another stack that features a matching top tile or tiles into position next to it. The game flips the tiles that display the same color and picture from one stack onto the other stack. Once a stack has 10 matching tiles, it removes the pieces from the board.
Holiday Hex Sort increases the number of colors and pictures as the player progresses through the levels. To make it easier for the player to create 10-tile stacks before they run out of time, it offers a booster that breaks a stack to remove it from the board, a booster that allows the player to move a previously positioned stack to a new spot, and a booster that replaces the current set of available stacks with three new ones.�
