It's been a while since I've engaged with the community here, so I think it's time to do another little puzzle post. :) I also recently read and really enjoyed Shirley Jackson's "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" (I definitely recommend the novel, if you're into creepy, atmospheric reads), and Children of Silentown seems to fit exactly that vibe, so here's a small quiz and GA for it.

Note: 2solve.me site for the quiz questions seems to have it's certificate expired, but you can still continue to it, just don't put your passwords as guesses on the site, and you'll be fine.

Also, a more traditional Jigidi (48 pieces) for Coromon.

Both GA's are LVL 5, and running until 31st of August, 15:00 GMT.

Edit: a very late edit, but if someone comes across this and was curious about the solution to the quiz questions, I'm adding this. The two questions on 2solve were reffering to a poem from "We Have Always Lived in a Castle", googling both questions together should have found the correct full quote. Alternatively, googling either question and Shirley Jackson, or either question and "We Have Always Lived in a Castle", would also find the poem from the book. Either way here is the poem:

“Merricat, said Connie, would you like a cup of tea?
Oh no, said Merricat, you’ll poison me.
Merricat, said Connie, would you like to go to sleep?
Down in the boneyard ten feet deep!”
― Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle

I enjoyed both the novel and Coromon, which I won from SG. If you love monster-taming games, definitely check it out :)

Bump, thank you for the two great GAs!

I sunk some thirty hours into it and had a lot of fun. It's quite likely I'll start a new save to try to 100% it when I get that itch again in 2026 or something!

Thanks for the giveaways, though I am lost when trying to "solve" the quiz, because the simple "Yes" and "No" answers are not accepted.

What kind of responses are we expected to submit? How important is the spelling?

Doe these answers have anything to do with Chapter 3 in Children of Silentown?

It's difficult to give hints for this without completely giving it away, but the quiz answers are not actually linked to Children of Silentown.

Haven't read We Have Always Lived in the Castle yet but it's been on my list ever since I read and loved The Lottery. Might be my favorite short story of all time.
Thanks for the giveaways!

Yea, I noticed the "issue" with 2solve.me as well. It makes you hesitate in the first moment.

Also, bump.

No idea on what's expected of me on the quiz, but at least the Jigidi was small and enjoyable. Thank you!
