Curious about the mysterious **1225-point gumball machine** in *Deltarune Chapter 3*? This guide covers its mechanics, prizes, and spine-chilling hidden secrets tied to the game’s lore—particularly the enigmatic date of December 25th.
Mechanics of the Gumball Machine
- Gold Prizes**: Limited in quantity. Once collected, they vanish permanently, and the machine announces “no more gold.”
- Common Prizes**: Infinite loop of mostly low-value items, like TV Slop or point refunds.
Earn points by playing minigames or converting excess points at the backstage machine. Inputting exactly **1225 points** triggers irreversible consequences: the machine disappears and unlocks a cryptic red-room sequence involving a guitar pick, a shadow crystal, and references to Dess, Christmas, and a missing hand.

December 25th Connection (1225 Points)

This is a narrative-focused secret, not a gameplay reward.
When to Spend 1225 Points
