The Funny Farm puzzle
http://shygypsy.com/farm/p.cgi
The Funny Farm puzzle
This word association game starts on the farm, but quickly branches out into greener pastures. What at first looks to be no more than a simple inventory of a cultivator? possessions quickly expands far beyond Green Acres
The concept of using words to find more words in a chain is hardly original, but the implementation is what makes this game so incredibly addicting. The spider web-style of displaying words gives a flowing sort of feeling as you progress through the chains.
As you extend outwards, new sections of the map are opened, giving a definite sign of progress.
Collaboration is encouraged. No single mortal will be able to solve this puzzle alone, so get a few friends and do it together. Good luck!
