Nice hold - I really like the theme. I've only seen a few rooms, but one comment so far:



Edit: I've just seen 1N - that's a really great room; I really love the puzzle.

Hm, thanks, I think I know how to shut off that extra solution. I'll have to noodle with it later, won't affect things fundamentally though.

Turned out to be tricky, but this one should work. The hold attached to this reply should only have the entrance and the room in question, see if the trick works anymore.

Your sequence room has got me stumped. I feel that the text on the scrolls is vague. "Count the roaches in sequence"?

Ghogg, don’t we also need 1E to get to the revised snakeroom at 1N, 1E? I didn’t use the mimics at all but:

Apart from 1N, 1E, which is trivial as it is, I enjoyed all the rooms. They had a very fine level of difficulty and trickiness, i.e. not insane.

My favourite room was 2N - very nicely done indeed.

I still haven’t worked out the sequence referred to in 3E but did it by:

The snake room file is set for full editing rights, I was meaning people to hop over to the room in question with the editor and use F5 to test so they wouldn't have to run through the other two rooms again. (EDIT: I just put the fixed room in the main file above if you want to use that instead.)

RoboBob, for the sequence puzzle I could change the wording to just "Count the roaches in each ambush." if you think that would help. I was worried people would at first just count all the roaches together without realizing they were a sequence of numbers.

Also, if you've finished 2N 2E:


Thanks to everyone for your comments so far.

1N, 1E is much better now, really quite challenging in fact.

I liked the scroll in 2N, 2E, it made you think, although I have encountered a similar puzzle in a member’s hold, I won’t say where.

Room 3E is inaccessible in the latest version due to a wall being underneath the scroll. Let me guess...you clicked on the scroll to change the text but didn't realize it was on the Wall item? Fortunately there are full editing rights on this hold so I can still play the room, but you need to fix that.

Game on,

The scrolls should be happier now, I reworded them. Except for maybe a different ending text this is probably the final version.

Any advice for 1n2e? I've done everything I could and I'm still baffled!

If you mean Part 1 (while you are invisible):



If mean Part 2 (picking up the second invisibility potion):
