Think family feud. Guess the words associated with your starting point and expand your guess to words associated with those words, etc.

I don't get how clowns are associated with magicians...

btw, thanks. So if goats mate with sheep, what do you get?

The game must be broken.  [bacon] isn't one of the relations to pig.  [roll]


I give up for the night. If anyone wants to continue my game, here's my map

So far I have 17 squares open without cheating at all.

Actually there's Jesus Bertoli also.  But I'd never heard of him before I hit up Google.

Well, I am glad I didn't get too invested in this.  There's not a whole lot of rhyme or reason to it - it is a giant grid of free associations.   It is kinda clever at points, but it is like guessing what next random thing is going to pop into someone's head.  Also, the Counting Crows are not a British band.

That's why there's no line connecting the Counting Crows to British bands.   ;)
Title: Re: Interesting "puzzle"
Post by: erkishhorde on March 16, 2009, 09:31:12 AM
Yeah... Some of those connections are totally random and the shift in patterns has no reason to it at all.

I solved the meta puzzle, but I still don't have all the vertices.

I sat down, and next thing I know the hubby's telling me we're late to go to the 'rents house!!!

three hours passed!!!

I really like it.  Not too fond of googling all the poker stars.  At that point, it's just homework.

i'm about halfway done.
yes, i have cheated a few times

this is annoying as hell.

i don't know how they get to certain words. and who the hell ever thought up "bug powder dust" as a name for a drug?

hell the british bands thing was crap.


i'm slowly going insane(r) from trying to figure this thing out.
Title: Re: Interesting "puzzle"
Post by: erkishhorde on March 19, 2009, 12:41:24 PM
Haha, you guys are more determined than me. I looked at it, tried for about 4 hours and then gave up and put it away. I guess I'm more cut out to be a dealer than a user.   [evil]

You don't have to get all of them. Only open the corner boxes and then solve the final puzzle with the clues they give you.
