The issue of having puzzles in this game has been frequently discussed on the forum. In order to progress in the game, you have to get through the puzzles. These puzzles seem an odd thing to have in a hidden object game. I intensely disliked the puzzles for the first couple months I played. I found them almost impossible when I reached Detective. And we won't talk about Virtuoso. When I first started playing, I was always short on energy and didn't have money to buy rubies for tools. So I would play a game of TB or HL and lose. Then I would have to wait an hour for my energy to restore so I could lose again. And again. It was very frustrating. Finally, I found the forum and people here sent me energy. And I used the energy to play the puzzles again and again until I was somewhat comfortable with them. I wouldn't really use tools, just allowed myself to fail over and over again until I figured the puzzle out. I figure TB out first. HL was much more difficult for me and I didn't really "get" HL until a few months ago after playing for almost two years.
