I have 11 of 12 puzzles. So I'm clear on whether I should look or not, is the 11th one the easter egg? It seems to be.

Unfortunately, it's probably impossible for you to do the last puzzle now It's something that you really have to plan for from the start of the game - particularly as the skill required is not only the hardest to master, but the one that has least opportunities of mastering. I literally had to allow no more than four villagers to master this skill, otherwise the others would have "used up" their training chances. And you also need to make sure that you get someone young trained up in it - otherwise by the time you have all the tech advances, your masters might be dying off.

There were a couple of reports of that during the beta test, but we couldn't recreate it. Can you describe the circumstances that made the Golden Child disappear?

Ok, I must be an idiot. I have all techs researched, and have for the last 48 hours. I'm missing the last 3 puzzles. I keep reading about this "Golden Child", and I'm embarassed to say that I don't have one. I imagine I've messed something up and will need to start over (yikes). Could someone please throw me a lifeline on how to get the GC? I would appreciate it muchly. My email is: enfowler@msn.com

Were you dragging the Golden Child at the time, or was he/she walking around and then vanished? Previous reports seem to indicate that the Golden Child disappears after being dragged or dropped.

Thanks! That seems to be the situation in the few reports that we've had on the Golden Child disappearing. I've tried and tried to make it happen, but haven't been able to make the little one vanish. If anyone can provide more clues to this bug, it would be very helpful!

It sounded more like building to me, as after a while they can't build no matter what you do, as all the building is completed.
While I don't want to spoil anyone's fun, can someone PM me to let me know if I'm on the right track?

The 12th puzzle is more of an easter egg, and requires considerable work on your part (along with certain prerequisites). I don't know of anyone (besides the development team) that's figured it out without help. The tenth puzzle is the special villager that seems to be eluding many people!

Thank you for the quick response, Ladycfii. Can you tell me - it now appears I could figure out that 11th puzzle - is that one the boulder or is the boulder the 12th puzzle? Basically, can I still do something at all with the boulder? Now my people are just sort of dying off. Thank you, Tibby

The 11th puzzle will be the boulder. The 12th puzzle is the special "easter egg". You should be able to solve the 11th puzzle no matter what you've done in the game. The 12th puzzle requires advance planning and may become unsolvable for many people.

You can solve the 12th puzzle before the 11th, if you have the necessary prerequisites. The 12th puzzle doesn't involve the GC.

I have at least 5 masters in each category, and I have 2 villagers who are masters of more than one category. I guess I will have to keep hunting. . . I am trying to keep folks around the boulder and the cactus, as they seem to still hold quite a bit of interest in the idle villagers.

I've played many, many games and never had anyone disappear, but you don't need to 'bother' the GC in order to complete the next puzzle. Arthur is still working on the vanishing villagers bug.

Wait a sec, when you have a villager clean the beach after a storm, I believe that s/he gains construction skills, right?
Also, I currently have two master builders left (67 & 75) and only the 12th puzzle left. So, since I don't have a lot of time left to find the last one, I want to make it count; though I don't want anyone to just hand over the solution. That being said, do I have to do something with my masters or do they have to do something themselves? Thanks, -spaceman

It's all up to you (thus the easter egg designation). Once you're onto it, your villager(s) will take over.

As vague as that is, that does give me a couple of ideas.
Also, is it really suppose to be a builder? Because now that I think about it, I've never actually had a master parent. Are they good for anything?
Oh, and thanks for the reminder. I had almost forgotten; I will definately save now.
Thanks for the speedy repies,

Well, that didn't help. Now I'm even MORE unsure.
Okay, I think that I am just going to pause it until I have a sizable list of possibilities->try them->start again.
Thanks for not spoiling it for me at least.

Okay, I'm totally stumped. I have every puzzle solved BUT 11. I have maxed out population, all tech levels researched, a golden child scampering about, and nothing's happened for at least a day.

It has been 7 days for me since puzzle 10 was solved and puzzle 11 is still unsolved. Sometimes it takes a very long time.

I have all puzzles solved but the last one, tech levels maxed out, 48 villagers including a 55-year-old Master Builder who I have dragged all over the island. Can I solve the last puzzle? If so, can someone PM me a hint or two. I am mystified, edging toward frustrated. Thanks!

Do they have to be maxed out with building or just have the title master? and do you have to have all the other building puzzles solved first? Because mine is still working on my mystical rock and she won't work on the final puzzle. But she is just a tiny bit away from the maxed out of building. Which one is the problem?

Alright, my impacience has gotten the better of me, but instead of someone just giving it to me, I have a very vague question (I'm stubborn too)
All that I would like to know is: Is the key a specific action or a certain combination?
I'd really appriciate it if someone could please PM me with the answer. Thanks for all of your help and for not giving it away. It has really kept me in suspense the last couple of days. -spaceman

You'll need higher levels of technology in other areas for most of the puzzles. Your primary goal right now is to keep your villagers healthy and working on food and research. Children will start to work at age 14, and you should train them as soon as you can. When a villager turns 18, they can start 'dating' other villagers! The best thing to do is, as you research each new level of technology, drag villagers with various skills around the island to see if they find anything new!

I would suggest adding this feature: that research above a certain level after all techs are at level 3 could be bought to give villager of your choice a boost in a skill area.
Also - does repairing huts add to skill level in Building?

Fixing huts does not improve building skill. There are plans to include a permanent place to train builders in the bug fix/update release of Village Sim.

Since my population has long reached 65, it seems to be an impossibly long wait for someone to die and make room for newborns, and hopefully the GC. Wish there is a KILL button somewhere.

Ok...I think I'm ready for the PM too. I've read all the hints...I have all skills maxed researched, and I've watched (highlighted and just watched!) my master level builder for over 45 min's... nothing, or nothing out of the ordinary. <sigh> PM me with the spoiler on this. Ohh..I have 1 - 9 of the puzzles. Waiting for villagers to die off (I have 65) so I can get a GC, then let him/her do the 11th.

There isn't a way in Village Sim to have two games running at the same time. But, if you don't mind juggling savegame files, you could accomplish something close to that. You can use a file manager on your Palm device or PC to back up two (or more) savegame files and keep switching between them.

Oh, and by the way, I am now at 432 hours playing the game. Puzzle #10 was solved at 133 hours and puzzle #11 still hasn't been finished yet. That's 300 hours (i.e., two solid weeks) of waiting.
And I haven't been speeding up the clock at all.
At this point, I haven't forced anyone to breed or farm in the game for a week. People are just dying off from old age. I'm sort of interested in what happens when the GC is the only one alive.

Help! I have a master builder. All techs 65 people and puzzles 1-9 solved. I know I am waiting for the GC for 10 and 11. But can someone give me a clue where my Master Builder should look for 12. I have had him all over the island. He is getting old and is the last Master Builder I have. Thanks.

Let me clarify. I found the place that when you drop him you get a question on the bottom of the screen, but nothing happens no matter how many times I drop him there. Does he need expertise in other fields besides building? Thanks

Hi,
I think I am going to need help for the 12th puzzle as well. This is my second game, I got all the puzzles but number 12 in the last game... I started a new game when I realized I'd need a master builder. I am at the end stage of this game and waiting for the GC to make his appearance again but have not been able to figure out puzzle 12 even with all the hints posted. I have 3 master builders, and I have been watching Bobo (my favorite builder) for two days.... I have tried dropping him in places, tried dropping him and the other masters in places.... nothing. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated... and will save me from pulling out any more of my hair!
Thanks, Karen

Great game--I've been hooked since I got it.
I would also like a PM with HINTS about solving puzzles 11 and 12 (not step-by-step solutions), so that I still have to think a little. Thank you!

> Wow, Flash! I'm sure you hold the record now!
I'm at 450 hours now.
Well, keep in mind that I am playing on a Sony NZ-90 and the "always on in cradle" option never seems to work properly with any of the LDW games, so after two minutes, Village Sim shuts off.
It's generally not worth the effort to turn the game back on every two minutes, so I leave it off and turn it back on when I think about it, which may be six or so hours later.
So, I only play the game in short spurts of maybe ten minutes every six hours. This may be different than the way everyone else plays and may contribute to puzzle #11 never getting solved.
It's a valid concern, since no matter what style a person plays, the puzzles should be solvable within a reasonable amount of time.

You know, with all these people begging for hints for puzzle #12, perhaps it's time to consider a different approach to puzzle #12.
It should not be included in the puzzles screen at all, if it is, indeed, just an easter egg. Or, if it is to remain as a puzzle, the solution needs to be a little more obvious or maybe there should be major hints in the game.
As far as I can tell, not a single person has found and solved puzzle 12 without someone giving them a big hint or specifically telling them how to solve it.

Have a heart and please forward puzzle 12 instructions. I've paused the game until I hear, as I have only one master builder and he's getting up there in age. Thanks. (Great game!) Scarlet834

Well, what we really need is a thread called "This is how to solve Puzzle 12. Don't read until you want to be told how to do it."
Then, message 1 has a few hint, message 2 has some specific hints, and then message 3 tells you step-by-step how to do it.

Maybe not something so blatent, but a hint would have been a little simpler. Perhaps some sort of an unusual indicator where the 12th puzzle is that makes it obvious that you would need a builder-like for the creek, you knew that you would need a builder to clear the rocks (well, they became a builder). I don't want to say my suggestion outright because it would probably give it away, but hopefully this is enough. >As far as I can tell, not a single person has found and solved puzzle 12 without someone giving them a big hint or specifically telling them how to solve it. Well, although the "master builder" hint was a big one in my book as it would have taken me a lot longer to find the 12th puzzle, that was about for me. Barbara did send me a few PM's of encouragement, but she wouldn't let me give up on finding it on my own (as much as possible). I mean, I could post all of her PMs here and they wouldn't give anything more away (Thanks again for that Barbara ). The rest was just coming up with a bunch of ideas through logic and trying them out (I also found a few things that could be better used). Although, now that I've found it, my builders can't seem to finish the task. Even after the 10 years or so left for them (where I saved it), they can't seem to finish the job. Oh well, just gotta keep at it. -spaceman

How about anyone that wants a hint just send tigger4will or ladycfii a PM asking for it instead of adding page after page of
"Could someone please help with #12?"
"PM sent..."
"Thanks!".
I mean, I'm not against helping others, but I bet that around 2/3 of the currently 18 (Edit: oops, now 19) pages in this thread are the above. It's kind of crowding out the useful information for anyone that wants to try it on their own.
Any thoughts?

Way to much hype. I must admit I expected something much more dramatic with #12. Is there a finale or does it go on for ever?

I'm sending wpchan a private message with hints on those puzzles. I'm also locking this thread, to keep it from growing any more. Please see the thread "if you need a hint for the last three puzzles..." for instructions on how to get hints.
