The FAQ in the Kitchen OP says you must make 3 pieces of the same dish in order for it to be accepted. So it's sounding like you did 3 different appetizers, 1 of each, so that wouldn't be accepted.

Spoiler

Ok thank you for verifying! I’ll have to pick which one looks better and make two more. I supposed this was expected for doing the challenges ahead of unlocking the rooms.

Spoiler

Appetizers are usually finger foods. So I guess it makes sense to have more than 2 pieces.

Also to clarify, just in case there's a bit of confusion. You only need to make 3 pieces of one kind of appetizer (3 spider biscuits or 3 tombstone wafers for example). Not 3 different kinds of appetizers.

Thank you for clarifying this! I have been stressing quite a bit about this one.

For the laboratory task, does what I put in the jar have to be made by me? And does it have to be an actual monster, or could it be monster "parts," like eyeballs or something?

Spoiler

No, you can use pre-existing items, and it just has to fit an autumn or Halloween theme.

Thank you!! Halloween paper outfit coming up! I’m trying to get everything done today. So far the cemetery is complete. I have the appetizers. I’m working on the monster jar specimen. Then I’ll see if its possible to create clothing out of paper. The study seems too scary to even think about. I don’t even know if I should leave it for the last day. On a scale of 1-10, for those who have done study, how would you guys rate it? And do we have more than one day to figure it out?

Spoiler

I did the study yesterday and I completed it within 10 minutes or so! It was a lot of fun! And this is coming from someone who has never done any text based games ever. I would rate it a 10/10 in terms of enjoyment. In terms of difficulty, I would say maybe 3/10, but this is going to depend on each individual. And I thought we had until the 30th or 31st to complete everything, or am I mistaken?

Yeah, it shouldn't be spoiler-y to say that we do have until 11:59 PM EDT on October 31st to complete everything.

Spoiler

Though for an entry to potentially qualify for favorite rewards for the Kitchen and Lab events, as well as the Bedroom and Cemetery events I'm assuming, they must be submitted by 2:59 PM EDT on October 31st.

Random question here, but who is hosting the laboratory? I feel like Oblivia was made for it, with her collection of bottles from count inside the bottle. Now I’m wondering if my guess is correct?

Nevermind! Saw that she’s not in the list of host for the rooms. Still curious though

Spoiler: Laboratory

As someone else said, Mick and I are the laboratory event hosts. I was glad to see an opportunity to host a science themed event because I am a scientist in 'real life'.

A concern and question about some of the events

Spoiler

It seems many of the events require certain materials—namely food and craft supplies—that may prohibit people from fully participating. For the kitchen event, I don’t really have access to any ingredients that I can essentially waste for an online forum entry. It seems other people have similar concerns. For the events that require a craft submission, could the rules be changed to allow the submission of a drawing instead? For the kitchen event, maybe even a recipe. I think this would make the events more accessible to everyone.

Spoiler

All of the events can be pulled off with household items or can be bought cheaply if you don't already happen to own anything suitable. For this reason we aren't offering drawing as an alternative for any of them.

Spoiler: question abt the bedroom

just to confirm, can the costume we make for our plushie be not necessarily spooky? like could I make a princess costume for credit? or does it have to be scary/spooky looking?

It doesn't have to be spooky. It just has to be a costume. A princess would work!

The kitchen challenge is killing me. I had to redo it because I did three different appetizers. I just got back from round two, and I as I’m looking at the picture now, I noticed I forgot something

It’s not that bad though. I’ll just have to leave it as it. It’s just one spider leg. I’ll just have a spider with 7 legs.

Spoiler: Laboratory Question

How strict is the definition of jar for the laboratory event? I have various containers/bottles, but not an empty traditional pickle/mason jar with a lid. They all give the same effect as a jar, though.

Spoiler

They say it can be any type of jar, not necessarily only a mason jar, just as long as it's recognizable as a jar. You could PM the hosts and show them what you plan on using to confirm it'd work.

 

[DarthGohan1]

second this. i would leave the study and cemetery until last since they're the easiest/most accessible tasks.

i'm 100% stuck on the study... Easy!?!?

Spoiler

i mean, i did have to brute force it, but it wasn't overly difficult. if you get stuck, restart with /look around and interact with anything you can again. it's definitely not something you need to overthink, which is what i did at one point. i could've solved it quicker if i hadn't spent time on that route despite it being unlikely for an answer.

i found the clue for what i need to do, just can't guess the answer to the clue. i'm pretty sure i've tried everything else at this point... don't want to say anymore out of fear for getting in trouble from Jeremy hehe

Spoiler

I hadto submit 3 different items as they wernt happy with what i had inside the jar, i had No issue with the jar itself aslong as you show in the a photo where the jar lid would be or is.
