[ENDED] A couple puzzles and a small train that ends Dec. 17th. (Level 2+)

Merry Christmas!

I made this puzzle last year, but didn't post it here. There's not much to it, but I hope you find something you enjoy!

The games are listed below... and apparently I flubbed up the end time for Wayout... sorry!

SOLUTION

The Secret Word was "GIFT".

There were actually several ways to come up with the secret word.

Familiarity or some Googling may have hinted to you that the faces were those of actors who all starred in shows that were a part of ABC’s TGIF, which is an anagram of GIFT. In addition to this, “abc Special Presentation!” was a play on words in the sense that “Presentation” is closely related to “present/gift”. It was also an indication that “abc”, or the alphabet, was being presented in a special way, a cipher -- a Dancing Men cipher to be precise, as hinted at by the flavor texts -- "You don't have to be Sherlock to solve this!" and "There's nothing quite as good as holiday specials with a cup of hot cifer!"

Besides googling/researching faces or certain key phrases such as "Sherlock + cifer/cipher", some people seemed to have had luck guessing the word, either randomly, based on the gift in each hand, or through brute force.

Merry Christmas, and congratulations to the winners! I hope some of you enjoyed the puzzle -- the next one will be more tedious!
