My secrets are (drum roll, please)...stopped playing Haunted Lights at Detective level and no worries about losing streaks! :D

I don't remember using Flying Times when I first started playing and now I only use them occasionally (I have two games, level 177 and level 65). The only time I need them when playing locations is when there is a Time Shift or Gargoyle anomaly and for some reason I'm having trouble finding the items and run out of time and it is a room that requires accesses so I don't want to just quit and start over. I time travel so the additional energy used isn't a concern but I don't like wasting accesses. The only puzzle I need them for right now is Haunted Lights but I stopped playing it a long time ago - the times are too short for me and I feel really stressed out when playing it. Currently I'm at Grand Master level for Treasure Box, Virtuoso for Ancient Cards and Mosaic, and Detective for Haunted Lights. There are certain Treasure Box layouts that I consistently have to play more than once in order to complete but I love playing Treasure Box so I don't mind. :)  Ancient Cards is still okay for me at Virtuoso level but I do run out of time sometimes and have to play again - if they shorten the time at Expert level then I will need Flying Times or will be playing over and over a lot!  For Mosaic at Virtuoso level I usually have tons of time left over.

Just curious, are losing streaks a concern for you because of the achievements? Have you completed the Puzzle Master achievement? There are two achievements that even though I completed them a long time ago they are always starting over because of my losing streaks - LOL! They're the One in a Million and Clever Cookie ones. Do you have winning streaks going in both of those that you don't want to lose?

Highly recommend playing with the Detective of Genius artifact to receive more tools - although out of the four tools Flying Times are the least received (of course).

Sorry for the long response (especially if you were just looking for a short answer). Have a good weekend!
