Oh, no! That sounds like a very frustrating experience. Especially since these games are typically designed to only be enjoyed a single time, I also love to explore everything possible. Being punished for wanting to see it all doesn’t feel so great.

I’ve got a magnifier I use sometimes, too! Maybe that’s the indicator that hidden number puzzles might be the wrong game choice… Although I still like trying some of the ones out there. You never know what you’ll find! Or if you’ll even find it. Ha ha!

You normally look at _everything_ because if you don’t, you miss things. We looked – and got docked a couple of minutes. That was one of the worst Unlocks I ever played and it kind of soured you from the start. Worse, it never used that “gotcha” again throughout the rest of the game. We need to get this back to the table w/ my youngest. She’d definitely choose Sarah for the animals. Our initial copy had the bindings start to fall apart, apparently an issue with the early prints. We got a replacement copy but hadn’t tried to play it again.

Sadly, these old eyes can use stronger light and a magnifying glass at times. (as proved in “Mystery” where you _had_ to see a tiny number to continue 🙂 )
