This does have doors, the bit that appears to have no door is the outer sleeve of the product. You need to unwrap it?

Yes it has doors, but you’re right that there is an outer sleeve and the doors are on the inside. And you cannot really give it as a traditional advent calendar with a ‘surprise’ behind each door, because the outer sleeve gives ALL the details of the advent calendar on the packaging. So I tried removing the sleeve but the inner part is not particularly structured (if that makes sense) - you need the outer sleeve on to give it better structural integrity. And there is a loose instruction guide inside. So I will gift it with the outer sleeve and the recipient will know exactly what they’re getting.

Mine hasn’t come with an instruction booklet 🤦🏼♀️ How can I get hold of one?

Dear Marie! Unfortunately, I don't know why there is no user guide in the package, but I found videos on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Eight+Innovation+Electronic+Games+Advent+Calendar I wish you a Merry Christmas!

Day 1 has instructions to feed cables through the plastic underneath which is impossible - you can't access underneath?! Any ideas?

Dear Nicola! I found the video below on YouTube to see if it helps! https://youtu.be/0fWHSVLo4oo
