The high scores would indicate that yes, but not many.

...Just hope one of those people respond with a demo, I suppose.

A demo would be kind of silly, as it's the only room in the hold, so that would essentially be the entire solution to the hold. Making the hold completely pointless.

This is a fun little puzzle, it's not as intimidating as it looks at first... if you look closely, you'll see that the area is divided into three zones by walls without doors, each one off the the starting point in a different direction, and they're pretty much solved independently (the only real interaction is with orbs that get you back to the entrance and open a new area). The first has the roach and goblin (east), the second has the tar baby and eye (west), and the third has the queen (north... the largest and divided into two by a door that needs to be opened from the east half to get to the west half). There are red herrings (of course) so you need to be a bit wary about taking something that looks too good.

To save some clicking, here's some points of interest (cells lettered A-G left-right across the top and 1-7 top-down):

B2 - opens the third area
I1 - opens the second part of the third area
A3 - opens the way to the exit (the door down from the queen is toggled by E6, E5, and C5).

D4 - opens the doors to the evil eye
D3 - opens the door to the queen
