I figured out the Bar Game and noticed in the high scores it listed "Squares Revealed". What does that mean? Surely it's not the number of moves made.

Initally the whole playfield was covered by master walls which hid the walls/floor/roaches/etc. To break those master walls, one needed to get a "Really Big Sword" from the bar(each RBS broke only one square of master wall). "Squares revealed" highscores show who managed to solve the room with the least amount of master walls down.

Ah much thanks.
So I expect there is no way to improve my score since I can't see any Master Walls to avoid breaking...

When the Bar Riddle for this year was first made, it started out locked and completely covered, but eventually it was solved by many people and all the squares were revealed.

After a while, people thought it was boring and Schik made a new, larger riddle room (the current one) and covered up all the squares, so that swords had to be used again. Now it's fully uncovered.

I don't know if there's going to be a third room or not, but the second room has stood completely uncovered since April 3rd (according to the Bar Game Statistics page) so it's certainly been a while.
