This puzzle is so cool because it revolves around casual graphs in classical planning problem! One can use heuristics based search to come up with optimal solutions. I really like this innovative approach to the design. However, one edge from house to tree wasn't clear at first because, I thought of it as logical or while it was about logical and. Other than that, pretty awesome work!! Edit:: Scrolling down the comme…

Yeah the edge with two conditions was a little confusing;

(1) and

(2) or

(3) At bone to go up, at flower to go down [or the converse?]

Was able to figure it out through experimentation, but the signage doesn't make it obvious.

(author here) Great feedback! Yes, I am the "Land of Lisp" guy Sorry about the potential epilepsy trigger- that was the fastest way I could think of to code a quick "reward effect", I will do something different in the next version. I didn't really expect anyone to care enough to solve the puzzle lol. Now that I know people like the puzzle, I will build out the website and post regular puzzles, follow my Twitter @lis…

Where you inspired by Alcuin numbers[0]?

Quite nice. I enjoyed the distraction.

Unsure if it's a new "type" of puzzle. Virtually any game with multiple characters, buttons and doors plays like this, and can be reduced to a similar graph.

Despite that, I don't want to discourage you. Originality doesn't matter that much. Keep making puzzles like these.

That was fun but I didn't see any reward effect at all.
