Average of Event Special Items by Picture and Event for 2023
I have finally compiled a table to show the average drop of the special item needed to play event picture. I basically divided the sum of special items by the number of times I played the picture. I don't play every picture because I am trying to spread out the leveling of pictures so that they don't all level at the same time. I currently have a base of 7405 for energy and I budget it so that I can complete the event on time without the need for using Talismans, Artifacts, and crystals. This means my pictures are progressing verrrrrry sloooowly.
Glitch or Cheat
I'm not sure if this is known or not, but here it goes. On the the gem match or special gem match, if you click on a string, or use a bomb, anything to get a cascade at 2 seconds left (I like the bombs the best) when it's zero seconds hit the time machine and the time goes to 45 seconds and does "NOT" move. You now have time to finish the match without using more time machines, but "DO NOT" pause the game, if you do the time will start counting down again. Not sure if this works on a normal picture, I will have to find out, I guess using dynamite with one second left could work. Hope this helps anyone who reads this.
What is the cumulative drop rate for event 'widgets'
I have fun playing with spreadsheets. I am currently using Google Sheets to keep track of my game play. This year I decided to add a tally sheet to my 2023 Event Archive where I could track how many event 'widgets' dropped from pictures. I use the term 'widgets' as a generic name for the special, event-only currency you need to play the event picture. Last event for the year just finished, so here is what I have. (this is my first table, so it is very rough) The events with bolded names upgraded a desktop award.
Talisman/Artifact Listing
This PDF lists all talismans for Secret Society. Missed the first couple of years of one-offs. It is sorted by what the talisman does, then by duration. A "Y" in the MAKE column indicates you can make the talisman. No "Y", a one-off.

Towel embroidered with TSS motifs
Helga (nickname Nuapi) asked me if it would be possible to embroider a towel with TSS motifs. We then chose pictures that Helga particularly likes to use and I made screen shots of them that I printed out. I stuck to that when putting it on the towel. This is how the campsite, the mill, the farm and the house in the woods came about.
Hidden Object can also found:
Forest house: owl, candelabrum, the number 13, mandrake, cat
Mill: horse, bench, pitchfork, lamb
Farm: Grapes, Gas Can, Honeycomb, Leaf Rake, Hoe
Campsite (in pair mode) Banjo, Watermelon, Mushrooms, Mushroom, Mouse, Paddle
Guinea pig exist!
Its not a fairy tale. The guinea pig exists. I found it in the old lighthouse. On the upstairs left behind the chest. He wears a sweater. Its cold in the lighthouse?
In the new Event, you can find it on the left side of the harp
Test Adding Picture to Blog
I have started investigating how to use my blog page. I really haven't done much with it before. I'm hoping that by uploading the avatar I use when I am traveling, it might be easier for me to change in the future, especially when I'm having problems with my Internet connection.
Special Gem Match and Gem Match Combinations
The object of these puzzles is to clear all the shaded squares. There are 3 levels a shaded square can have:
- A locked gem
- A diamond within a square
- A square
To unlock a locked gem, you need to use it with 2, 3, or 4 other normal gems of the same colour to form a row.
