One other tip that might apply here - Andalay has stated (IHO) that the game "forgets" about items/pieces that are not already present. Her example was with the lollypops. If we did not leave one lollypop sitting with the floating Pumpkin guy they were harder to get from the Dark Square. Once we did leave a lollypop there at all times they came more regularly. Maybe the same is true with those winding keys?? Maybe you have to leave one in your inventory at all times in order for more of them to come up as rewards? I'm just throwing an idea out there. I don't get them all the time but I don't use them either (at this point). I seem to get a key once in a while - usually from the rooms that require access keys: ship, old square, clothing store, antique store, garden, theatre. I wish keys were giftable or talismen.
