We didn't anticipate how smart you guys really are! Some of you have somehow gotten through it... Even though at least 2 of the puzzles are within stage 2... You clever creatures!
If you are stuck, the protectors can help. And, bare in mind there are items within stage 2 that will help you on your trails. Some of them may need some close inspection...

📖You've got some fun events coming today! Make sure you check your booklets for 12!

Also, thank goodness for this cloud cover aye? Much more reasonable :D That's all for now, looking forward to the day ahead with you all ❤️
