IMO the biggest "filler" of the game.<br /><br />The three instances of the maze may all seem similar to you, but I noticed that each subsequent maze included many additional locations where you had to return to previous floor in order to proceed. Those reversals in direction are a big deal to younger players, or to people trying to keep track of their location in their mind rather than drawing out a map.Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805219432946673379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-10461341320176183902016-01-13T09:02:26.509+11:002016-01-13T09:02:26.509+11:00You can actually select the names in the word sear...You can actually select the names in the word search and the game returns a special message, indicating that that is indeed a team member's name, but not part of the puzzle, and thanks for trying it.Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805219432946673379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-45039610841189756932016-01-02T12:37:55.731+11:002016-01-02T12:37:55.731+11:00I see Andy now too.

Andy Hoyos should be there, but I don't see Andy in the puzzle.<br /><br />Choices for the acrostic are various games and sports, but only parlor games are in the solution, hence the "answer".<br /><br />The eye chart in the code room shows English language letters in order by frequency. I have "ETAOINSHRDLU" burned into my brain since childhood since I liked to solve ciphers as a preteen. Here it's a clue for players without that background, or for whom English is not their native language.<br /><br />The allowance of 12 guesses in the "Mastermind" symbol puzzle was intentional - I wanted most players to succeed, not to fail to a few poor guesses.<br /><br />"My very energetic mother..." is an old mnemonic for getting the names of the planets in the correct order. Alas, "pie" (Pluto) has been downgraded to a Dwarf Planet.<br />Corey Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772474266362396768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-37583724763647837632016-01-02T11:56:23.129+11:002016-01-02T11:56:23.129+11:00:) :):) :)Evan Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049739394359362973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-41907547616209977622016-01-01T06:28:34.944+11:002016-01-01T06:28:34.944+11:00:):)archivishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475550475336272619noreply@blogger.com
