At a certain point, the dart board needs to just break open or stop adding rules

[James Finn (reformed¿)]

I'm on day 83, I rolled credits a while ago and am now trying to whisk through solving the other mysteries and story lines dotted throughout the house. Having puzzles like the dartboard just trap resources behind increasingly menial rules is a major drag on that.

i'm on day 80 and am newly surprised every time they add a new rule.

Still, I prefer the math to the parlor puzzles.

I suppose that's up to personal preference. My strengths lie more in that direction than they do math. Having a puzzle with six squiggly lines that I have to add, subtract, and divide multiple things to is just too boring for me, but I also know I definitely need every resource possible to try and keep after all the trophies. It is nice that they thought of longevity, I suppose, but I wish the devs would have considered more of the longterm meta more than the minutia. It would feel more respectful towards the time I've invested in the game.

Once I beat the dartboard 40 times, I really hoped it would autocomplete. I just ignore it now. If a run fails because Im missing a key then it fails

Yeah, I mean at this point I am just ignoring the puzzle. Which essentially just defeats the point of having it there at all. Might as well just give the player the resources after a while.

The parlor puzzles get so tricky! I prefer them to Math so to each's own. Personally because I have an issue with Maths.

That is very unwise. They may hold a key item to your run.

At a certain point, it is a matter of time budgeting. Math is not a puzzle type I excel at. I have all the rules written out, I have cross referenced them with friends, and I still get answers wrong.

I cannot game all the time. And so, I would rather make the decision to simply reroll the mansion instead of burning most of my free time on one little puzzle.

Remember, there is an entire game outside of this math puzzle. There are many more puzzles. I should not be expected to fall on my sword for this puzzle every single time.

Neither do I but I've had runs saved by doing these puzzles. You may consider that something to take heed of.

I wouldn't mind it so much if not for the fact that sometimes we're expected to do too many of them in a row. One of the puzzles I had asked me to do SEVEN of them to teach me three different parts of a new ruleset. I feel that that could've been spread across three visits, that was exhausting. By the time you've solved like 40 of them they should be handing you like one or two at a time at most IMO.

Considering that I'm 99% sure that the dart board only gives out a particular type of item, I completely understand if people farther along feel comfortable in forgoing that puzzle.

Like if I had pulled that room at the near end of the run where I knew I was running out of space, or had done a run where that item type would be pointless, I would bypass it too. Not quite there yet and I'm pretty decent at math.
