damn this is hard!
its really difficult to find a decent imaging programme that will cut out shapes like that.

[flossy k]

I could'nt get past that page either Brains

[brainisdead]

flossy. ALL the puzzles are jigsaws.
oops. strike that. I just looked at paint. ;-)
solved 1 puzzle even with a piece missing.
but the link to the final quest doesnt work anyway so you couldnt play the end even if you wanted to.

[Guardian]

Sorry about that. The final quest start page has now been fixed.

[brainisdead]

i've solved 3 puzzles now ;-)
ok it works then.
did you know that not all the puzzles have 8 pieces to them?
Did you screw up or was that on purpose.?

[Guardian]

None of the puzzles have all of their pieces. This was an attempt to incorporate more "7"s into the quest, and make the puzzles just slightly harder.

[brainisdead]

actually 1 of them DOES have 8 pieces-throw elf in the genie jar.
molehills drown levee doesn't appear to be solvable. at all.
It'd need ALL the pieces to stand a chance.
I'm still trying to work out which way up that is.
AND which direction it's supposed to face.
I've now assembled 4 puzzles. possibly 5 with "molehills".

[Guardian]

Some confusion has occured around what you're supposed to do with the puzzles.

Once you have solved the riddle on the jigsaw puzzle, type the answer in the URL where it is marked "TYPE ANSWER HERE." There's more to each quest than just the puzzle.

I don't get what I'm suppose to do with the first pic. Do I need to find more pieces?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out.

[brainisdead]

Now I'm even MORE confused. OK you say solve puzzle then type answer.
Type whats on the puzzle as the answer?
Because I've tried 1 like that and that didnt work.
This needs to be explained a LOT more clearly.

An Instructions page has been added at http://www.freewebs.com/watchword/instructions.html. Hopefully this will answer the questions about what to do next.

Thank you so much for your feedback; it's the best way to ensure that a webquest is working properly!

???

is there something wrong somewhere or is it just me?

I've "completed" a bunch of puzzles but I can't get past ANY of the puzzles...

is there something to how to enter it, what to look for, ???

[brainisdead]

I'm not sure if it accepts answers or how it accepts them (ie:- all uppercase, all lower case, spaces, no spaces or what)

[shaharc]

wow, this riddle is hard
I have managed to assemble all puzzles, figured out what 5 of them mean, and actually managed to solve 3 of them and move to the next stages, in which I am also stuck.

brainisdead, so far all answers were lower case with no spaces

WooHoo
Just got my first artifact
Edit: and a second one
