I thoroughly enjoyed the 'I Spy' portion, so I voted for that, but solving the cryptograms was a challenge for my brain, and it was extremely satisfying when I got the answers! Though they took significantly longer haha.
The mirrors/scribbles were too difficult for me to justify spending hours on them... I didn't mind with the cryptograms, because I knew I'd eventually get the right answer. There's no guarantee with the mirrors/scribbles, lol.
I voted for the ispy but the cryptograms were my second favorite then the scribbles and finally the mirrors I still can't see either of them even knowing what they are but I guess it's good to have diversity of the events
I have a love-hate relationship with the whole event but my favourites were the ciphers, I just found them satisfying to figure out
Still annoyed at myself for rushing and only putting one spell in for the Wednesday one though-
The first round. The second one was nice as well. The third and fourth were ok (but I would have been happy with just searching for items in the I spy games)
the first and second ones were the only ones i could really do. it's so insanely hard to do the mirrors and the other sketches and whatnot because the colors they choose are so bright and it strains my eyes so hard, i cant look for longer than a few minutes.
The I Spy games were fun. The rest I didn't really participate in because I'm not good at them and it would have been too frustrating/time consuming. I'm impressed with the people that can figure out those mirrors!
While they could be a bit time consuming, I'd have to say the cryptograms were my favorite. They were fun and rewarding to decipher.
I Spy would be second. Like Snek said earlier in the thread, they reminded me of the I Spy books (and the haunted house computer game) and they're a nice fun little game.
As for the mirrors, I can tolerate the scribble mirrors but I dislike the regular mirrors. I failed to solve the Farley one when it was used originally, but I'd still take something like that over the two we got during this year's Fair.
My thoughts reflect the poll! I spy is #1, cryptogram would be #2. I really love I Spy and was hoping it'd be that the rest of the time, byt the cryptograms were kind of fun too. Couldn't complete anything else (and even after checking the answers I don't see it) so they don't get a ranking lol.
I'm surprised that noone's favourite was the hidden scribble! I didn't think they were too difficult, and I really enjoyed those, just not more than I spy!
i voted i spy since it was the least stressful, but I did actually enjoy the cryptograms too!! if I hadn’t have been away while the second round was going on I would’ve had more time to actually sit down and properly solve the second one, so it comes second purely from my experience with it this time round lol
