Chime Rhymes, Clue Through!

This is a rhyming game, and apparently not the first by Andrew Schultz but it was the first one I've played. I got stuck. A lot. I needed help. There is good help. There's a device in the game that is very helpful, and I thought that was implemented brilliantly.

Overall the theme of rhyming and feasting was an interesting one. This game is not terribly long, but it is long enough to feel like an accomplishment in solving. It is light hearted, and I laughed a bunch, especially at some of the responses to incorrect attempts. I am definitely eager to go back and check out some of the earlier games in this "series."

Not a bad way to enjoy an evening of puzzling word-play.

This is the 8th entry in Andrew Schultz’s Pro-Rhyme Row series, which is truly astonishing; how there can be so many paired rhymes in the english language blows my mind.

I really enjoyed this one for the first half or so. There is a feast of remembrance among the gnomes, and you are chosen to prepare food for it. Most of the rhymes in the game deal with food or appliances of some kind.

There is a map with a central location and four branches. Each branch has objects in it which you must find a rhyming pair for (or for the room itself).

Compared to other games in the series, this game made it easy to identify what the puzzles were and had some fun responses.

Some of the words made me laugh. My juvenile response to ‘tree troop’ made me laugh (although it wasn’t recognized) and I had the wrong answer at first to getting out of the ‘stuck state’.

I did run into some bugs though, especially with some repeating text. It was enough to hamper my experience. I did see a call for testers before the competition so it’s at least partially my fault for not responding, but fortunately the bugs seem not too bad to fix.
