Oh, I once solved something like this a long time ago. Now I need to think about how to complete them again

That's part of the puzzle to figure out what to do with the symbol, but it's at least natural western reading order.
Comment has been collapsed.
Had a try, not quite there, it seems. A couple of questions:
1: Do we need to brute force the order of the 5 characters once we're done?
2: Is that a lower case "ell" or an upper case "eye"?

Brute forcing in a board game. Sounds like you're a cheater! ;)
Look at comment above for order.

Ah, i just posted how to play the game as most people including me isnt familiar with this game and instructions on how to play .. anyway, removed the link

I try to always create unique puzzles to make people think for themselves. Not get everything handed to them on a silver platter. I've already added the Rules-link to have people understand what to look for.

Hm... I thought I had it, but not quite... But this very well represents what it was like playing it with friends... People confidently say xxx,3 and you go like "huh, there are only 2... oh wait, it could also be meant as... but then I have 4, argh!" :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I know, right? Stupid friends don't understand my obscure references, or that frustration when they just don't know a subject at all. I had "Undertaker, Slam(or something similar) and Ring" once and said Wrestling, 3. My friend had no clue who the Undertaker was. :(
That's why I picked a bit easier words for this puzzle, to be able to reach a broader audience.
PS. In a way this is a prelude of the next Puzzle Agency. Having to get inside my brain! (Teaser!)

Id make a terrible spy. 'Heck QG i will be straight: got all the codes but have no idea of what now' (russians listening)

I'm still weary from last night. Respect to all in condition to solve puzzles!
Happy New Year and all the best!

To be fair, I was designing and creating the puzzle well on my first glass of wine for the night ;)
Had a nice home evening with the wife and dog. We all lay under a blanket on the balcony watching fireworks at midnight.

Just one question. Is it possible to have the same answer twice or it means I am wrong (found 2 duplicates an if there was not duplicated I would know what to do net ;) )?
Second question when is a dealine:P?
EDIT: Also checked replacement if there should not be duplicated. But no success:).
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure what you mean by duplicates. Do you mean the for example the "U" being twice on the top row? Or do you mean that you've associated things twice? If the second, I refer to the Rules. If the first, no comment.
You can always check a puzzle creators profile to see when GAs end.

Bump for the interesting puzzle and nice giveaways!
Happy New Year!

Aaah great game. Playing it with my friends a lot :)

It's a great pick up and play game. Been playing it on some board game nights when we've finished the main game and it's still not that late, but too late to start something serious.
Comment has been collapsed.
seen a version with pictures instead of words - but had not the chance to try it out as well. But might be interesting since its give another dimension of (miss)interpretation to the game :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Aye, there's also a coop version with missions, adult version (naughty words and suggestive things) and I just saw on boardgamegeeks that there's a Marvel version with images of Marvel characters. I doubt that's going to be very fun unless you have major marvel geeks playing it. I mean, I know quite a bit of Marvel, but I wouldn't be able to name half the guys I saw images of on one of the photos of it.
Comment has been collapsed.
the adult version sounds fun with the right people. But the Marvel one would be absolutly unplayable for me :D

Bump for something doesn't quite add up for me yet!

You should always display what the level the giveaway is for cause I spent awhile on your puzzle and then I checked your profile and saw they are level 2+
Comment has been collapsed.
Or if it's not written, check the puzzle creator's profile to start with. I don't solve puzzles to get to the GAs, I solve puzzles for the brain teasers they provide.

Bump for something went wrong, too many possibilities for a few of the categories
Comment has been collapsed.
Is it wear as in "cloathe with" or as in "use/deteriorate"?
mmm, I can't seem to find just 3 for that one.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's undetermined. A good spymaster (and guesser) will use words with multiple meanings to get more words in one go! A lot of the words in the boardgame has this distinction of having double meanings.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, but unless I misunderstand the way to do it, you'd pick one way to link the words to the clue and have the same kind of clue be the one that gives you that number of words connected to it.
Let's say I say Head, 2. and want bedHEAD and HEADwind. not head of the company(1), or things on your head like eyelashes+hair+eyes(for example) (3).
Otherwise you'd had way too many combinations, like say in the case of apple and wear, Or is it a matter of picking which connections are the most likely for you to use?
I can find at least 6 connections to each of those, so picking 3 of each makes one rely on bruteforce, unless there's some criteria to thin it down.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd go with the most likely scenario in a real gameplay environment. You have the luxury of knowing in advance some other hints. Which means you can by process of elimination determine what belong to what.
I do applaud you for coming up with the Bed Head and Head Wind idea, but in a real game you'd have to have a good partner to get those I believe. Hair and Eyelashes for example would be obvious choices though.
Hint: For example. Animal, 2. If this has been the first clue instead of the second it probably wouldn't have a 2 next to it, but perhaps 3. Depending on how far you're willing to make the other player guess you can say 5, but you're starting to make it hard for the guesser by then to determine which to go for. The sum of the numbers are 20, each one is unique.

Thanks.
I thought I had it, including the step to get it down to the number needed for the giveaway, but I'm struggling picking ones for Apple (7 or so possible ones) and App (4 possible ones).
I might wait a bit for more hints or try some combinations in hopes that one works.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was stuck similarly yesterday, since I was seeing about 5 possibilities for Apple, 3 for App, 4 for Wear. Tried brute-forcing it for about half an hour before I decided to give up and wait for possible hints or just see what the answer is after the event ends. ; A ;
Comment has been collapsed.
By the time you're at app, there should no longer be 4 possible ones.
Comment has been collapsed.
I kind of want to mention the 4 I was thinking, but don't want to give any away.
Hopefully, this isn't too much, but I take it the 2 in the fourth column were me thinking too much into it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmm. I've owned the game for quite some time, but without having played with you I'm having some issue with the clues. Gonna keep trying.
Also, my favorite clue I've given was "chloroplast, 2" for "microscope" and "tree".

Body, 4
Animal, 2
Apple, 3
Wear, 3
Paper, 4
Element, 2
