Backyard Mechanics
You have to complete ‘first floor puzzle’ to gain permanent access to backyard.
In the beginning for a small training chain (3 quests) you can get into the yard even if first floor puzzle is not complete. but after the end of that training chain, you have to complete first floor puzzle to gain permanent access to the backyard.
First thing to know is that interaction with backyard items goes in the sets of five clicks. you will need one kind of item for first four clicks (also available in store for copper coins) and you will need a different items for final click (available in store for gold coins). You can also find these items in the game, i will give the detail below.
Second thing to know is after each set of five clicks the object will disappear or become inactive for few minutes. hovering your mouse over the object will let you know after how many minutes it will be again available for interaction.
Third thing is if you are unable to complete a set of five clicks, for example you did 4 clicks but dont have item for final click then the object will reset again in 48 hours. that is you will be able to start your set of 5 clicks again after 48 hours. hovering your mouse over the object will let you know how much time is left.
Important Things to Remember
- the fifth/final click items will fall only in one of the three trap modes in the rooms (i.e. mirror room, against time and invisible ink)
- Inventory limit for each of the interacting item is 30
- Each backyard object levels up as you interact with them. After an object reaches level-5, it will need 2 interacting items for each click. if you hover your mouse over any backyard object, it will show level of that object in a small purple circle.
