Puzzle Mechanics

Puzzle Mechanics:

There are three categories of Puzzles in the game: Key Puzzles (season 1, 2 & 3) Event Puzzles Star Puzzles

1. Season Puzzles: These help you find Keys, open new Modes & move forward in the game. There are 3 subcategories:

Season 1: Completing each puzzle activates cache mode in that particular room Season 2: Completing each ghostly puzzle activates ghost mode in that particular room Season 3: Completing each darkness puzzle activates darkness mode in that particular room

2. Holiday/ Event Puzzles:

Event Puzzles give rewards. Hover the mouse over a thumbnail to see each reward. Examples: Independence Day 1 - 2000 freedom points Independence Day 2 - 4000 freedom points

After each Event ends, those Event Puzzles remain in the Event Tab. We can still complete them. The only difference is Amulets won’t drop (to help with getting pieces). Amulets have to be purchased from the Store.

Activator Amulets & where to Find them: To find & activate Amulets (during the Event), complete Event Quests. Once the Event is over, Amulets have to be purchased from store . If you have any left over Amulet’s in your inventory, you can also use those.

3. Star Puzzles:

These puzzles have star sign on the top right corner.

These Puzzles can be completed up to 5 times per Puzzle. Each time you complete a Star Puzzle you will get a “star sign” with a maximum of 5 Stars per Puzzle. With every new star the size, shape and amount of puzzle pieces will change making it more challenging to combine the puzzle again. But the rewards can be worth it & will grow each time.

first star puzzle 24 pieces , second star puzzle 30 pieces , third star puzzle 35 pieces.

NOTE: Keep in mind, getting Puzzle pieces will take more time as you move ahead. You won’t get all the pieces quickly.

Here I’m combining mansion puzzle for the 2nd time. All puzzle pieces that I collect now will be placed in the lower left corner ‘combine’ box. you have to click combine box to move pieces form box to the puzzle screen so you can join them. Top right side shows the reward of puzzle and number of pieces I have available to join together. In the above picture i have 9 pieces on the puzzle screen and 1 piece in combining box.

Unlocking Star Puzzles: Right now there are 7 Star Puzzles available in the Game. You will not have access to all Star Puzzles right away. You will have to unlock them one by one in exchange for stars or purchase in the Store.

Reward Of Star Puzzles: (thank you Angela Iannucci for adding rewards)

Hover your mouse over the puzzle thumb nail in the puzzles panel and it will show you the reward you will get by completing these puzzles. These puzzles could be assembled several times.
