oh no, looking at the answers everything seems so obvious now
also gonna share what i was thinking for the ones i missed
2 - thought this was flourish for the entire time, no real logic to it but it’s stylish right? or thought it might be happy home designer cause it’s a spin off
8 - i checked the archives but didn’t think to mark as read!! none of them were properly locked so i figured it had to be something else
12 - yeah i didn’t have a clue here lol, i was thinking maybe a laptop sticker
15 - i could SWEAR I tried halloweaster but i guess i didn’t? again I had no clue
20 - i was searching through the museum for people who had made stitches plushies lmao
25 - i looked at the regular smilies (and was trying to post them more in case that was it) but this makes a lot of sense now
but again, thank you staff for such a fun event!! despite the headaches I had a great time and will inevitably put myself through this again if you run another one
edit: also joined the egg hunt dream gang - dreamt I solved a second clue towards getting a daisy egg and then solved the third right just after time ran out lmao
